Delray Beach Personal Injury Lawyer
Atlantic Avenue is the reason Delray Beach has the injury pattern it does: a walkable nightlife strip running straight into a highway corridor, minutes from our Boynton Beach office. We handle Delray Beach claims from our Boynton Beach office, and a case arising here is filed in the Palm Beach County Courthouse in West Palm Beach. Call 954-522-5800 and speak to a lawyer about what happened. The consultation is free and you pay nothing unless we win.
Florida shortened the deadline to file most injury lawsuits from four years to two years for accidents on or after March 24, 2023 (HB 837, amending Fla. Stat. § 95.11). Accidents before that date still carry the four-year deadline.
What we see in Delray Beach
The Atlantic Avenue corridor between Swinton and the ocean is dense with restaurants and bars, and it fills with people on foot late at night. That produces pedestrian strikes, valet and parking incidents, and a meaningful number of claims involving an impaired driver. Where a driver was overserved at a commercial establishment, Florida's dram shop statute is narrow but real, and it is worth examining rather than assuming it does not apply.
West of the strip the city looks completely different. Linton Boulevard, Congress Avenue and Military Trail are standard suburban main roads feeding I-95, and the collisions there are ordinary intersection and left-turn cases. Delray Medical Center is the trauma center for this end of the county, which means the medical records that matter for most serious south county cases are held right here.

A drunk driver hit me. Can the bar that served him be responsible?
Sometimes, but Florida's law here is narrow. A vendor is generally not liable simply for serving an adult who then causes a crash. Liability attaches when alcohol was served to someone under twenty-one, or to a person known to be habitually addicted to alcohol. The driver and their insurer remain the primary claim, and where their coverage is inadequate your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage is often what actually pays.
