Hollywood Personal Injury Lawyer
Hollywood carries airport traffic, port traffic and beach traffic through the same few miles, which is why so many of its injury claims involve someone who does not live there. We handle Hollywood claims from our Fort Lauderdale office, and a case arising here is filed in the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale. 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 Hollywood
Hollywood sits between Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Port Everglades to the north and the Miami-Dade line to the south. Rental cars, rideshare drivers on their way to a pickup, hotel shuttles and delivery vans all move through it, and a large share of the crashes we take here involve a driver who is unfamiliar with the road. Young Circle, where Hollywood Boulevard meets US-1, produces its own steady run of collisions because drivers treat a traffic circle as a signal.
The Broadwalk and the blocks behind it are a pedestrian environment inside a driving city. People on foot, on rented bicycles and on scooters cross A1A and the side streets constantly, often at night and often not at a marked crossing. Florida law does not end a pedestrian claim because the person was outside a crosswalk. It reduces the recovery by that person's share of the fault, and how that share is argued is usually the whole case.
Claims we handle from Hollywood
- Rideshare and rental car collisions near the airport and the port
- Crashes at Young Circle and along the Hollywood Boulevard corridor
- Pedestrian and bicycle claims on and around the Broadwalk
- Hotel and short-term rental premises claims east of Federal Highway

I was hit in Hollywood by an out-of-state driver in a rental. Who pays?
Usually the driver's own liability insurance follows them into the rental, and the rental company's policy may sit behind it. Your own Florida PIP still pays the first medical bills regardless of who caused it. The order those policies are reached in is worth sorting out early, because a rental company will often point at the driver and the driver at the rental company while the fourteen-day PIP deadline runs.
Do you have an office in Hollywood?

We serve Hollywood from our Fort Lauderdale office at 2101 W Commercial Blvd, Suite 1500, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309, which is where the lawyer handling your case sits. It changes nothing about the claim: a Hollywood injury is filed in the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale either way, and the first conversation costs you nothing wherever you are.

the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. Claims up to $50,000 are heard in county court and larger claims go to circuit court.
