Car Accidents claims in Boca Raton

West of the Turnpike, Boca Raton is a string of gated communities along Glades Road and Palmetto Park. The traffic they generate is short trips: the store, the club, the doctor. Short trips still produce serious injuries. A crash at a community entrance, where somebody turns left across four lanes toward a gatehouse, puts two cars together at a combined speed nobody would call highway speed and still sends people to the hospital. Your $10,000 PIP starts the medical side, and whether the at-fault driver's insurer ever pays anything depends on how Florida's injury threshold treats what happened to you. Ask an attorney.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Boca Raton?

Boca Raton Police handle crashes inside the city, and the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated areas just outside it. Florida Highway Patrol usually takes I-95 and the Turnpike. The report goes to FLHSMV and can be requested through the state crash portal or from the agency that responded. Get the case number before the scene is cleared.

Which court would handle a Boca Raton injury case?

Palm Beach County, in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. The main courthouse is in West Palm Beach, and the county runs a south county courthouse closer to Boca. Smaller civil claims go to county court and larger ones to circuit court, and where yours belongs depends on the amount, which is a question for a licensed Florida attorney. We are not a law firm.

I was hit near the FAU campus. Who writes that report?

Boca Raton Police usually work the city streets around the campus, and Florida Atlantic University has its own police department for what happens on university property. The line between the two is not always obvious from inside a car. Ask which agency is taking the report before you leave. Then request it through FLHSMV or from that agency once it's filed.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Florida?

In Florida, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. Reduced from 4 to 2 years by HB 837 (2023). Wrongful death 2 years. Medical 2 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
