Slip & Fall claims in Pembroke Pines

Pembroke Lakes Mall and the supermarket anchors nearby take steady traffic through a rainy afternoon, and the first stretch of tile inside any of those doors is where the water goes. A fall in that first stretch is a premises claim. No PIP, no other driver, and what generally decides it is whether the business knew about the hazard or should have known, which makes the incident report and the camera above the entrance the entire argument. Ask what time the floor was last checked. Find a manager before you walk out. Two years runs from that afternoon.

Frequently asked questions

Who handles the crash report in Pembroke Pines?

The Pembroke Pines Police Department works crashes inside the city. On I-75 and US-27, Florida Highway Patrol usually responds, and the Broward Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated pockets nearby. All of them file with FLHSMV, and you can request the report there or from the agency that wrote it. Ask for the case number at the scene.

Which court would hear a Pembroke Pines injury case?

Broward County, in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, with filings going downtown to the Broward County courts rather than anywhere in Pembroke Pines. County court takes smaller civil claims; circuit court takes larger ones. Which applies depends on the amount at stake. That is a lawyer's question, and we are not a law firm, so we won't guess at it for you.

My crash was near the Miami-Dade line. Which county is it?

Whichever side of the line the crash actually happened on. Pembroke Pines sits against the Broward and Miami-Dade border, and a few blocks south puts you in a different county, with a different sheriff and a different circuit court. The report will say where. Check that location line carefully, because it decides which courthouse a suit goes to.

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.
