Boca Raton courts, deadlines & Florida rules

Brain injury claims rooted in negligence are filed in the 15th Judicial Circuit (Palm Beach County). Under Florida HB 837 (effective March 2023), the statute of limitations for negligence is two years from the date of injury. Florida's modified comparative negligence rule bars recovery entirely if you are found more than 51% at fault, so preserving evidence and acting quickly is critical.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which hospital typically treats severe TBI patients from the Boca Raton area?
Boca Raton Regional Hospital handles many acute TBI admissions locally, and more severe cases may be transferred to a Level I trauma center. We coordinate with treating physicians at all facilities to document your injuries fully.
Does Florida's two-year deadline apply even if symptoms appeared weeks after the accident?
Yes. The clock generally runs from the date of the incident, not the date of diagnosis. If you notice cognitive or neurological changes after a Boca-area crash, contact us immediately, because waiting can forfeit your right to compensation.
Can I still recover damages if I was partly at fault for the crash on Glades Road?
Under Florida's modified comparative negligence law, you can recover as long as you are 50% or less at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. We investigate liability thoroughly to minimize any fault attributed to you.
