Hollywood Car Accident Lawyer

Kaiser Romanello, P.A. — Florida car accident attorneys serving Hollywood and southeast Broward County. Available 24/7 · No fee unless we win.

Why Hollywood Crash Victims Call Kaiser Romanello

A car crash on I-95 or US-1 can put you out of work, into physical therapy, and on the phone with an insurance adjuster whose job is to pay you as little as possible — all in the same week. The other driver's insurer often calls within days, asks for a recorded statement, and floats a quick, low offer before you know whether you need surgery.

Kaiser Romanello, P.A. represents drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, and pedestrians injured in crashes throughout Hollywood and southeast Broward. Founding partners Lorne Kaiser and Steven Romanello handle cases personally — not through a case manager — and both are trial attorneys prepared to take a case to a Broward County jury when an insurer refuses to pay fairly. We work on a contingency fee: no cost to start, and no fee unless we recover for you.

Where Hollywood Car Crashes Happen

Hollywood sits on the I-95 and US-1 corridors between Fort Lauderdale and Miami-Dade, funneling commuters, tourists, rideshare trips, and commercial traffic through a handful of chronically congested roads. We see serious crashes concentrated on:

• I-95 at the Hollywood Boulevard, Sheridan Street, and Pembroke Road interchanges — high-speed rear-end and lane-change collisions.
• US-1 (Federal Highway) and Hollywood Boulevard — intersection, left-turn, and pedestrian crashes.
• Sheridan Street, Stirling Road, Johnson Street, and State Road 7 (US-441) — busy surface arterials with frequent T-bone collisions.
• State Road A1A and the Broadwalk area — tourist, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic near the beach.
• The Seminole Hard Rock and airport corridor — heavy Uber and Lyft traffic and late-night, alcohol-related crashes.

Serious trauma from Hollywood crashes is often treated at Memorial Regional Hospital, Broward's Level I trauma center. Injury lawsuits are filed in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court for Broward County in Fort Lauderdale — we handle the filings, deadlines, and evidence preservation so you can focus on recovery.

How Florida's No-Fault (PIP) System Works After a Hollywood Crash

Florida is a no-fault state, so your own auto policy pays first, regardless of who caused the crash. Understanding the rules protects your claim:

PIP is a floor, not a ceiling. Ten thousand dollars rarely covers a serious injury — which is why the next question matters so much.

Stepping Outside No-Fault: The Serious-Injury Threshold

To pursue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering and damages above your PIP limits, Florida law requires that your injury cross a threshold.

Whether an injury meets the threshold is frequently where insurers fight hardest. Documenting it correctly from the start — with the right imaging, specialists, and records — is a large part of what we do.

Fault and Florida's Comparative Negligence Rule

Insurers routinely try to shift blame onto you, because in Florida your share of fault directly cuts your recovery — and past a point, eliminates it.

We build the fault case early — crash reports, scene photos, vehicle data, camera footage, and witness statements — so the other side cannot quietly assign you blame you don't deserve.

If the Other Driver Has No Insurance — or Only Minimum Limits

Florida does not require drivers to carry bodily-injury liability coverage, so many at-fault drivers have little or nothing to pay a serious claim. When that happens, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can become the most important policy in the case.

Compensation in a Hollywood Car Accident Claim

Depending on your injuries and the available coverage, a Florida car accident claim may seek:

• Medical expenses — emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, and future treatment.
• Lost wages and lost earning capacity — income missed now and the long-term effect on your ability to work.
• Pain and suffering — physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life (once the serious-injury threshold is met).
• Property damage to your vehicle, and in cases of gross negligence such as drunk driving, punitive damages.
• Wrongful death damages — for families who have lost a loved one, including loss of support, companionship, and funeral costs.

Every case depends on its own facts, injuries, and available insurance. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

What Not to Do After a Hollywood Crash

• Don't skip medical care. Waiting past 14 days can forfeit your PIP benefits — and a gap in treatment is the first thing an adjuster uses to devalue your injury.
• Don't give the other insurer a recorded statement before speaking with an attorney. It is used to lock you into words that limit your claim.
• Don't accept the first offer or sign a release. Once you settle, you generally cannot reopen the claim — even if you later need surgery.
• Don't post about the crash on social media. Photos and check-ins are routinely used against injury claimants.

Florida's Two-Year Filing Deadline

Because deadlines vary by claim type, the safest step after a Hollywood crash is to confirm your specific deadline with an attorney as soon as possible.
