Slip & Fall claims in Pompano Beach

Much of the beachside here is older mid-rise buildings, which means a lot of common areas. Lobby tile, garage stairwells, pool decks, walkways between buildings. When you fall in one, the claim usually runs against an association and its management company rather than a store, and associations tend to keep records: board minutes, work orders, vendor invoices, all showing how long a problem had been known about before it hurt somebody. That record is the case. Ask for the incident report in writing, the same week. Florida's two-year deadline applies here the way it applies to a crash.
How fault gets decided can end a slip-and-fall case in Pompano Beach before it starts. Florida's rule: Modified comparative negligence, 50% bar (post-HB837, 2023). You have 2 years to file. Injured on someone else's property — a store, a business, or private premises.

Frequently asked questions

Who writes the crash report in Pompano Beach?

The Broward Sheriff's Office provides police service in Pompano Beach, so most city crash reports come from BSO rather than a city department. Florida Highway Patrol usually takes I-95 and the Turnpike. Either way it is filed with FLHSMV, and you can request a copy from the state crash portal or the responding agency. Ask for the case number at the scene.

Which court handles injury cases from Pompano Beach?

Broward County, Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, with filings handled at the county courts in Fort Lauderdale. Pompano Beach is close to the Palm Beach County line, and a crash north of it would go to the Fifteenth Circuit instead. Smaller civil claims go to county court, the larger ones to circuit court. Which is yours is a lawyer's question, and we are not a law firm.

Does a crash on A1A near the inlet get handled differently?

The road decides the agency, not the postcard. A1A along the beach can be worked by the sheriff's office, and the drawbridge at the Hillsboro Inlet stops traffic in a way drivers behind you don't always expect. For the claim, nothing changes: PIP first, fault second, two years to file. Note whether the bridge was up when you were hit.

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.
