About Pompano Beach, FL

Pompano Beach is a city in Broward County, Florida, located along the Atlantic Coast just north of Fort Lauderdale. Pompano Beach is named for the Florida pompano, a fish that is found along the South Florida coast. The area around present-day Pompano Beach began developing in the early 20th century with the construction of the Florida East Coast Railway. Pompano Beach became the southernmost settlement in then-Palm Beach County and was formally incorporated in 1908. In the early days, Pompano Beach was settled by farmers who had moved from more northern counties in Florida that had recently suffered winter freezes that devastated citrus groves. Pompano Beach began rapidly growing starting in the 1950s, as veterans returning from World War II settled in the area, with growth continuing through the 1990s and 2000s as people and families relocated from northeastern states. In recent years, Pompano Beach has undertaken redevelopment and revitalizations of its beach corridor, old downtown area, and Hammondville/Martin Luther King corridor. 

Frequently Asked Questions about Car Accidents in Pompano Beach

FAQ: Should I hire a lawyer after I’ve been involved in a car accident?

While you might consider handling your insurance claim after a car accident on your own, you can make the process much easier and potentially more successful by working with a Pompano Beach car accident lawyer. A lawyer will have experience with investigating car accidents and securing relevant evidence. Your attorney can also document your expenses and losses so that you know the proper value of your claim. Finally, a lawyer can handle communications and negotiations with the insurance company on your behalf, looking out for your interests while aggressively pursuing maximum compensation for you.

FAQ: Do I have a claim if I was partly to blame for the accident?

You can still pursue a car accident claim if you were partly or even mostly at fault for the crash. Florida’s comparative fault law states that you are not barred from pursuing a claim for compensation for your injuries that you may have been partially responsible for. However, under the law, you will also be held liable for a portion of your losses and expenses in proportion to your share of fault for the car accident. For example, if you ordinarily would have been entitled to recover $100,000 in compensation after a car accident, but you are found to have been 30 percent at fault for the crash, your award can be reduced by $30,000 to reflect your share of fault. But the law still allows you to recover compensation for losses that another party is liable for.

FAQ: How long does a car accident case take?

It can be difficult to predict how long it may take to resolve a car accident claim. Some cases can be settled in as little as a few months, while other cases that go to court and to trial can take years to resolve. Cases can take longer if you have suffered serious injuries and disabilities, incurred substantial losses and expenses, or if the party or parties you are pursuing compensation from contesting their liability or share of fault for your injuries. At Feingold & Posner, P.A., we work diligently to recover fair and full compensation for you as quickly as possible, while also being prepared to fight your case in court or at trial if necessary to ensure you obtain as full a financial recovery as possible.

FAQ: When do I need to file a lawsuit in my case?

Florida’s statute of limitations on car accident claims typically gives you four years from the date of an accident to file a lawsuit against the driver or other parties at fault for the accident. If you wait until after the statute of limitations has passed on your car accident claim to file a lawsuit, your case will likely end up being permanently dismissed by the trial court. This makes it important to speak with a Pompano Beach car accident lawyer soon after a crash to have as much time as possible to investigate and prepare your case.

FAQ: Can I still recover compensation if the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance?

Yes, you may have other options for seeking insurance coverage and compensation when the driver who hit you doesn’t have liability insurance. First, as Florida is a no-fault state, you are entitled to turn to your own insurance provider for compensation from your policy’s personal injury protection coverage for your medical expenses and lost wages. If you have financial expenses not covered by your PIP coverage, you might also have the option of filing a lawsuit against the at-fault driver, or filing a claim with your insurer if you have purchased uninsured motorist coverage with your policy.
