Car Accident Attorney in Broward County, FL
Car Accidents
Hollywood Car Accident Lawyer Serving Broward and Miami-Dade
A car accident can change your life in a matter of seconds. One moment you are driving home on I-95 or US-1, and the next you are dealing with totaled property, mounting medical bills, and an insurance company that is already looking for reasons to pay you less. At Furmanski Law Group, you are not handed off to a case manager or a call center. Daniel Furmanski personally handles your car accident claim from the first phone call to the final check, in English or in Spanish, and he treats your recovery as if it were his own.
What to do after a crash in Florida
The steps you take in the first hours and days matter more than most people realize. Call 911 and make sure a police report is created. Photograph the vehicles, the roadway, and your visible injuries. Get the other driver’s information and the names of any witnesses. Most importantly, see a doctor within 14 days of the crash. Florida law requires medical treatment within that window for you to keep your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits, and a gap in care gives the insurance company an easy excuse to deny your claim. Before you give a recorded statement to any insurer, call us. What you say early can be used to reduce or defeat your case later.
How Florida's no-fault system works
Florida is a no-fault state. That means your own PIP coverage pays up to 10,000 dollars toward your initial medical bills and lost wages, regardless of who caused the crash. PIP is only the starting point. When your injuries are serious or permanent, you can step outside the no-fault system and pursue the at-fault driver directly for the full scope of your losses, including pain and suffering. Knowing when and how to make that move is where experienced representation pays off, because insurers rarely volunteer that you qualify.
Common causes we handle
We represent drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians injured by distracted driving, speeding, running red lights, drunk driving, improper lane changes, and rear-end collisions. South Florida traffic is relentless, and these crashes happen daily on the Turnpike, I-595, and the surface streets of Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. No matter how your collision happened, we investigate it thoroughly and build a claim the insurance company cannot easily dismiss.
What your claim may be worth
Every case is different, but the damages available after a Florida car accident often include current and future medical care, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, vehicle repair or replacement, and compensation for the physical pain and emotional toll the crash caused. If the at-fault driver had little or no insurance, we look to your uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage to close the gap. We do not settle for a quick lowball offer that ignores the care you will need months or years from now.
Why drivers across South Florida choose Furmanski Law Group
Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize your payout. You deserve someone in your corner who is just as committed to maximizing it. Daniel Furmanski gives every client direct access to him, communicates in plain language so you always know where your case stands, and prepares each claim as if it will go to trial. That readiness is exactly what pushes insurers to offer full and fair settlements. We work on a contingency fee, which means you pay nothing up front and no fee at all unless we recover for you.
