Types of compensation you may be entitled to
Medical Expenses
The compensation is based on the actual cost of medical treatment. The value ranges from a few thousand dollars for minor injuries to hundreds of thousands for severe, long-term injuries requiring extensive treatment.
Medical expenses are usually challenging to prove, but issues likely arise if treatment was delayed or not well-documented.
Future Medical Care
Future Medical Needs compensation covers the anticipated cost of ongoing or long-term medical treatment required after a car accident. This includes expenses related to rehabilitation, surgeries, therapy, or lifetime care for permanent disabilities. Settlement values typically range from $50,000 to several million dollars, depending on the severity of the injuries and the expected duration of care.
This type of compensation carries a high level of risk, as it depends heavily on expert medical testimony to accurately forecast future health conditions and related expenses.
Loss of Earning Capacity
Loss of Earning Capacity refers to compensation for the reduced ability to earn income in the future due to accident-related injuries or disabilities. The amount is estimated based on projected lost wages over the person’s remaining working years and can vary from tens of thousands to several million dollars, depending on factors such as age, occupation, education, and injury severity.
Proving this type of loss is complex, requiring detailed evidence of prior earnings, career trajectory, and expert economic analysis to clearly link the injury to diminished earning potential.
Vehicle Damage
Vehicle Damage compensation covers the cost to repair or replace a vehicle damaged in a car accident. The claim may include the cost to restore the car to its pre-accident condition or the fair market value if it is declared a total loss. The settlement amount depends on the vehicle’s age, make, model, mileage, pre-accident condition, and repair costs. Minor damages usually cost $500–$5,000 to fix, while severe damage or total loss can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, especially for newer or luxury cars.
Insurance adjusters or auto appraisers typically determine the final amount. Proving vehicle damage is usually straightforward with photos and repair estimates, though disputes can arise over pre-existing issues, depreciation, or total loss valuation.
Physical Pain
Physical Pain compensation addresses the physical suffering and discomfort caused by injuries sustained in an accident. It includes both immediate pain following the crash and ongoing pain experienced during recovery. The value is often calculated using a multiplier method, where medical expenses and other quantifiable damages are multiplied by a factor—typically between 1.5 and 5—based on the severity and duration of the pain.
Pain and suffering damages are inherently subjective, requiring comprehensive medical documentation, doctor testimony, and sometimes personal pain journals. The challenge lies in proving the lasting impact of the pain, especially if visible injuries appear healed or documentation is incomplete.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Florida?
Florida now allows two years from the date of injury, a deadline shortened by the 2023 HB 837 reform. Because evidence and witnesses fade quickly along corridors like I-95 and US-1, contacting Kremenchuker Law Group early protects your Fort Lauderdale claim and the proof it depends on.
What does it cost to hire Kremenchuker Law Group?
We represent Fort Lauderdale injury clients on contingency — no fee unless we win. You pay nothing up front, and our fee comes only from a recovery we obtain on your behalf. This lets injured residents pursue their Broward County claims without adding financial pressure during an already difficult time.
Do I have to seek medical care right after a crash?
Yes. Florida’s no-fault PIP system requires you to obtain medical treatment within 14 days of the accident to preserve your full benefits. Kremenchuker Law Group advises Fort Lauderdale clients to seek care promptly and coordinates documentation so this deadline never undermines your right to compensation.
What if the other driver says the crash was partly my fault?
Under Florida’s 2023 reform, you recover nothing if found more than 50% at fault. Kremenchuker Law Group investigates the crash on roads like Sunrise Boulevard and I-595 to establish the other party’s responsibility and protect your recovery.
Can Kremenchuker Law Group help if the at-fault driver fled?
Yes. In hit-and-run crashes on I-95 or US-1, we investigate to identify the driver and, where that fails, pursue available uninsured-motorist coverage. Kremenchuker Law Group works to recover for Fort Lauderdale victims even when the responsible driver leaves the scene.
Don’t delay — time is limited
Under Florida law, you have two years to file a personal injury claim. Missing the deadline can mean losing your right to full recovery.
Our practice areas serving Fort Lauderdale
Personal Injury Attorney in Fort Lauderdale
Between I-95, I-595, and the beach traffic on A1A, Fort Lauderdale keeps Broward County’s roads crowded year-round, and serious crashes follow. Kremenchuker Law Group represents injured people across the county, investigating the wreck, pressing the insurer, and litigating in the 17th Judicial Circuit when the offer falls short — across car accident, truck accident, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, and rear-end claims.
How long you have to file in Broward County
Since the 2023 HB 837 reform, Fla. Stat. § 95.11 gives just two years to file most injury claims — half the old window — and missing it almost always ends the case. Acting early also secures the Broward County crash report and Federal Highway or I-95 footage while it still exists and witnesses can still be found, which often decides how strong a Fort Lauderdale case turns out to be.
Valuing your Fort Lauderdale injury claim
The insurer’s first offer seldom reflects what a serious injury truly costs. A complete claim accounts for emergency and ongoing medical bills, the future treatment a doctor projects, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, vehicle and property damage, and the pain and diminished quality of life no receipt shows. The amount depends on the severity of the injury and how thoroughly it’s documented. As your personal injury attorney, we connect every loss to clear liability so nothing is conceded. In Fort Lauderdale, we also coordinate medical liens and health-insurance subrogation so a larger gross settlement doesn’t quietly shrink to little in your pocket.
No-fault PIP and the 14-day treatment rule
Florida’s no-fault system sends the first $10,000 of losses to your own PIP, which pays 80% of medical costs and 60% of lost wages — provided you treat within 14 days of the crash. To reach the at-fault driver for full pain-and-suffering damages, your injury must clear the serious-injury threshold of § 627.736. Building the medical record that meets that bar is something we begin from the first consultation, not after the fact. When several drivers share fault on a Broward County road, we identify every responsible party and every applicable policy — stacking coverage often decides a serious claim.
When fault is contested in Broward County
Expect the carrier to claim you share the blame, because under § 768.81 fault over 50% bars recovery and any lesser share reduces the award. Broward insurers use this aggressively in a county full of out-of-town drivers and rideshare traffic. We respond with an independent investigation — scene photos, the crash report, witness accounts, and reconstruction when needed — so fault is set by the evidence.
Fort Lauderdale’s high-risk corridors
Some roads generate far more injury claims than others. We routinely handle crashes on I-95 and I-595, where speed and congestion combine; on US-1 (Federal Highway); and on surface arteries like Sunrise Boulevard, Broward Boulevard, and A1A, where heavy turning and pedestrian traffic raise the risk. Each location leaves distinct evidence, and we investigate every crash according to the specific Broward County roadway involved.
Early medical care and your claim
Prompt treatment protects your recovery and the link between the crash and your injuries at the same time. After a Fort Lauderdale collision, get evaluated at Broward Health Medical Center, an HCA or Holy Cross ER, or urgent care, even if you feel only shaken — serious injuries often surface a day or two later. Keep every bill and follow-up record. That trail, started inside the 14-day PIP window, often decides whether the insurer respects your claim.
What to do after a Fort Lauderdale crash
A few early steps protect your claim. Get medical care and confirm the wreck is reported to Fort Lauderdale PD or the Broward Sheriff. Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries. Exchange insurance details, but decline a recorded statement to the at-fault insurer until you have a lawyer. Per FLHSMV data, early documentation strengthens a claim. When you’re ready, contact Kremenchuker Law Group for a free Fort Lauderdale review — no fee unless we win. Keep a short journal of your symptoms, missed work, and out-of-pocket costs; that day-to-day record can support a claim as powerfully as the medical file.
