Kaiser Romanello, P.A. — Florida personal injury attorneys serving West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County. Available 24/7 · No fee unless we win.
Quick answer: If you were injured in West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach injury claims on a contingency fee — you pay nothing unless we recover for you. Free 24/7 review: (844) 877-8679.
Why Injured West Palm Beach Residents Call Kaiser Romanello
West Palm Beach is the seat of Palm Beach County and a busy hub of downtown, waterfront, and interstate traffic — from the Clematis and Rosemary Square districts to Palm Beach International Airport and the I-95 corridor. That volume produces serious crashes every day, and the insurance company on the other side starts building its defense within days.
Kaiser Romanello, P.A. represents injured people throughout West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County. 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 Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach shapes how a claim is investigated. We handle injuries across the city, including:
- High-crash corridors: I-95, Okeechobee Boulevard, Southern Boulevard, Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, US-1 (Dixie Highway), Australian Avenue, Belvedere Road, Forest Hill Boulevard, and Military Trail.
- Downtown, waterfront, and airport traffic: pedestrian and bicycle injuries around Clematis Street, Rosemary Square (CityPlace), and the waterfront, plus congestion near Palm Beach International Airport and the Brightline station.
- Rideshare and commercial traffic: Uber and Lyft trips to and from the airport, downtown, and event venues, plus delivery and commercial vehicles.
- Premises hazards: slip-and-falls and negligent-security incidents at hotels, bars and nightclubs, apartment complexes, and retail and event venues.
Serious trauma from West Palm Beach crashes is often treated at St. Mary's Medical Center, the Level I trauma center for Palm Beach County, and injury lawsuits are filed in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court for Palm Beach County in downtown West Palm Beach. We handle the filings, deadlines, and evidence preservation so you can focus on recovery.
West Palm Beach Injury Cases We Handle
- Car accidents — rear-end, T-bone, and multi-vehicle crashes on I-95, Okeechobee Boulevard, and US-1.
- 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, including downtown and waterfront crashes.
- 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 West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach 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 Palm Beach County.
- You get paid. We handle disbursements. You owe a fee only if we recover for you.
West Palm Beach Personal Injury FAQ
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in West Palm Beach?
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 West Palm Beach?
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 West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach 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 Palm Beach 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.
