Car Accidents claims in Hollywood

Hallandale Beach Boulevard and Johnson Street carry the everyday driving here, and both fill further each winter as seasonal residents come back to the condos. Everyone here is going a short distance, which is its own kind of risk. When two drivers describe the same intersection differently, Florida's 50% bar decides the whole thing, because a driver carrying more than half the blame recovers nothing instead of a reduced amount, and nobody explains that at the scene. Your own $10,000 PIP covers the first medical bills. Broward County handles it, in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. Two years is the whole window.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Hollywood?

Hollywood Police work crashes on city streets. Florida Highway Patrol usually takes I-95 and the Turnpike. The report is filed with FLHSMV and can be requested through the state crash portal or from the agency that responded. If you were on foot or on a bike, make sure the report says so, because that detail changes which coverage gets looked at first.

Which court handles injury suits from Hollywood crashes?

Broward County, Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, with civil filings handled at the county courts in Fort Lauderdale rather than in Hollywood itself. Smaller claims go to county court and larger ones to circuit court, and the split is about the dollar amount. We are not a law firm. An attorney who practices in Broward can place your claim on the right side of that line.

I was hit while walking near the Broadwalk. Does PIP cover me?

It can. Florida PIP follows the person and not only the car, so someone struck while walking is often covered under their own auto policy or a household member's. If nobody in the household carries a policy, the vehicle's PIP may come into play instead. This gets technical fast, which is exactly the kind of thing to hand to an attorney rather than an adjuster.

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.
