Kaiser Romanello, P.A. — Florida personal injury attorneys serving Plantation and central Broward County. Available 24/7 · No fee unless we win.
Quick answer: If you were injured in Plantation by someone else's negligence, Florida law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a claim (Fla. Stat. §95.11, as shortened by HB 837 in 2023). Your own PIP covers the first $10,000 in medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault, but to recover for pain and suffering you must meet the serious-injury threshold. Kaiser Romanello handles Plantation injury claims on a contingency fee — you pay nothing unless we recover for you. Free 24/7 review: (844) 877-8679.
Why Injured Plantation Residents Call Kaiser Romanello
Plantation sits in the heart of central Broward, bordered by Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, and Davie, with the I-595 and Florida's Turnpike interchanges funneling heavy regional traffic through the city every day. Its busy commercial corridors and hospital district see frequent crashes — and when one happens, the insurance company on the other side starts building its defense within days.
Kaiser Romanello, P.A. represents injured people throughout Plantation and central Broward. Our founding partners, Lorne Kaiser and Steven Romanello, personally handle cases rather than passing them to 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, so there is no cost to start and no fee unless we recover compensation for you.

Knowing where and how injuries happen in Plantation shapes how a claim is investigated. We handle injuries across the city, including:
- High-traffic corridors: I-595, Florida's Turnpike, University Drive, Broward Boulevard, Sunrise Boulevard, Cleary Boulevard, Nob Hill Road, Pine Island Road, and State Road 7 (US-441).
- Everyday hazards: intersection and left-turn collisions on Broward and Sunrise Boulevards, rear-end crashes at the I-595 and Turnpike ramps, and pedestrian and bicycle injuries near shopping centers and the hospital district.
- Rideshare and commercial traffic: Uber and Lyft trips and delivery/commercial vehicles moving through Plantation toward I-595, the Turnpike, and Fort Lauderdale.
- Premises hazards: slip-and-falls and negligent-security incidents at shopping centers, apartment complexes, and businesses around the Westfield Broward and Plantation Walk areas.
Serious trauma from Plantation crashes is often treated at HCA Florida Westside Hospital and other area hospitals, and 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.
Plantation Injury Cases We Handle
- Car accidents — rear-end, T-bone, and multi-vehicle crashes on I-595, Broward Boulevard, and University Drive.
- Uber and Lyft rideshare accidents — including the $1 million coverage question that turns on the driver's app status.
- Truck and commercial-vehicle accidents — where multiple companies and insurers may share liability.
- Motorcycle and pedestrian/bicycle collisions.
- Slip-and-fall and premises-liability claims, including negligent security.
- Wrongful death claims for families who have lost a loved one.
Compensation You May Recover in a Plantation Injury Claim
Florida law allows injured people to seek both economic and non-economic damages:
- 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.
- Property damage and, in cases of gross negligence, punitive damages.
- Wrongful death damages — including loss of support and companionship and funeral costs.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome; every case depends on its own facts.
Should You Accept the Insurance Company's First Offer?
Usually not. A first offer from an adjuster is frequently a fraction of a claim's true value, made early — before the full cost of your injuries is known. Once you accept and sign a release, you generally cannot reopen the claim, even if you later need surgery or ongoing care. Before you speak with the other driver's insurer or give a recorded statement, it is worth a free call with an attorney who can tell you what your claim may actually be worth.
Florida's Statute of Limitations
Because deadlines vary by claim type, the safest step after a Plantation injury is to confirm your specific deadline with an attorney as soon as possible.
What Happens After You Call
- Free consultation. Tell us what happened. We explain your options at no cost and with no obligation.
- Investigation. We preserve evidence, obtain the crash report, identify every liable party and insurer, and consult medical experts.
- Negotiation or trial. We pursue a fair settlement; if the insurer won't pay what the case is worth, we are prepared to try it in Broward County.
- You get paid. We handle disbursements. You owe a fee only if we recover for you.
Plantation Personal Injury FAQ
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Plantation?
Generally two years from the date of the accident under Fla. Stat. §95.11 (HB 837, effective March 24, 2023). Some claims, such as medical malpractice, have different deadlines. Confirm your specific deadline with an attorney promptly.
What should I do after an accident in Plantation?
Call 911, get medical attention (Florida PIP generally requires treatment within 14 days), photograph the scene and vehicles, get witness information, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the other insurer before speaking with an attorney.
What if I was partly at fault?
Florida uses modified comparative negligence (Fla. Stat. §768.81). You can still recover if you are 50% or less at fault, reduced by your share; if you are more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovery.
How much does a Plantation personal injury lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, so you pay a fee only if we recover compensation for you. The consultation is free and available 24/7.
Will my Plantation case go to trial?
Most cases settle, but insurers offer fair value only when they believe the firm will try the case. We prepare every case as if it will go before a Broward County jury.
What if the at-fault driver was uninsured?
You may be able to recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. We review every policy that could apply to your claim.
