Personal Injury Attorney in Plantation

A sudden collision on a Plantation roadway can rearrange your finances and your future in seconds. Kremenchuker Law Group represents injured neighbors throughout Broward County, whether your harm came from a car accident, an 18-wheeler crash handled by our truck accident team, a pedestrian strike, a motorcycle wreck, a bicycle collision, or a violent rear-end impact. We document each case thoroughly and pursue every dollar Florida law allows for your recovery.

How Long You Really Have Before the Courthouse Doors Close

Florida no longer gives injury victims four years to act. Under Fla. Stat. § 95.11, amended by HB 837 in March 2023, most negligence claims now carry a strict two-year filing deadline, and missing it usually ends your case for good. The clock matters, but so does the first week. Skid marks fade, surveillance footage from Plantation businesses gets overwritten, and witnesses scatter. When we step in early, we send preservation letters, photograph the scene, and lock down evidence before it disappears.

Putting an Honest Number on What Your Injury Costs You

Valuing a claim takes more than adding up emergency-room bills. As your personal injury attorney, we account for future surgeries, lost earning capacity, diminished quality of life, and the pain that follows you home. We also manage the financial undercurrent most clients never see coming: hospital liens, health-insurer subrogation claims, and Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement demands that quietly eat into settlements. By negotiating those liens down and coordinating them against your total recovery, we keep more money in your pocket. A large gross settlement means little if liens swallow it, so we plan the net result from day one.

Florida’s No-Fault System and the Threshold That Lets You Step Outside It

Florida is a no-fault state, so your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays first, regardless of who caused the crash. PIP provides $10,000 in benefits, reimbursing 80% of reasonable medical expenses and 60% of lost wages, but only if you seek treatment within 14 days. Under § 627.736, you must obtain that initial care promptly or risk losing benefits entirely. PIP rarely covers a serious injury, and Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is optional in Florida. When your injuries cross the statutory threshold, we pursue the at-fault driver directly for the full damages PIP never touches.

When Fault Is Shared: Florida’s Modified Comparative Negligence Rule

Insurers love to shift blame onto victims, because under § 768.81 your fault percentage matters enormously. Florida now follows modified comparative negligence: if a jury finds you more than 50% responsible for the crash, you recover nothing at all. If your share is 50% or less, your award simply shrinks by that percentage. That makes the fault fight central to every case. We investigate aggressively to keep your percentage low and to identify every responsible party, including commercial employers, vehicle owners, and contractors, then map each available insurance policy so no source of compensation is left unclaimed.

The Plantation Roads Where Our Clients Keep Getting Hurt

We know exactly where Plantation collisions cluster, because we work them every week. I-595 funnels heavy commuter and freight traffic across the city’s northern edge, producing high-speed pileups. Broward Boulevard and Sunrise Boulevard see constant intersection crashes and left-turn impacts, while University Drive carries dense retail traffic with frequent rear-end wrecks. SR-7, also known as US-441, mixes trucks, buses, and pedestrians in a notoriously dangerous corridor. We pull FDOT crash data, signal-timing records, and intersection camera footage for these exact roadways to reconstruct precisely how your collision unfolded.

Getting the Right Care, on the Right Clock, Close to Home

Your health drives your case, and timing drives your benefits. HCA Florida Plantation General Hospital provides emergency and trauma-adjacent care right in the community, and we routinely coordinate with its providers and nearby specialists so nothing falls through the cracks. Remember the 14-day rule: if you wait beyond two weeks to seek treatment, Florida law can strip your PIP benefits, and insurers will argue your injuries were not serious. We urge clients to get evaluated immediately, follow through on every referral, and keep documentation organized, because consistent medical records are the backbone of fair compensation.
