Jupiter Personal Injury Lawyer
Jupiter sits at the northern end of Palm Beach County where I-95, the Turnpike and Indiantown Road converge, and that junction is where its worst crashes happen. We handle Jupiter claims from our West Palm 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 Jupiter
Indiantown Road is the only continuous east-west route through the town, and it carries everything: interstate and Turnpike traffic at its western end, the retail corridor in the middle, and beach and inlet traffic at the eastern end. Collisions concentrate around the I-95 interchange and along the retail stretch where the turning movements are heaviest.
North of town the county road network thins out quickly, and A1A and the coastal roads carry a heavy volume of cyclists and pedestrians, particularly early in the day. Boating adds a second category of claim that most inland cities do not have. The Jupiter Inlet is one of the busiest and least forgiving inlets on the coast, and a vessel collision or a passenger injury is governed by a different set of rules than a car crash, including reporting requirements and, in some cases, federal maritime law.
Claims we handle from Jupiter
- I-95 and Turnpike interchange collisions on Indiantown Road
- Cyclists and pedestrians on A1A and the coastal routes
- Boating collisions and passenger injuries around the Jupiter Inlet
- Crashes involving drivers unfamiliar with the town, especially in season

Is a boating injury handled the same way as a car crash?
No. There is no PIP on the water, so medical bills are not paid automatically the way they are after a car crash. Liability depends on the operator's conduct and often on the vessel owner as well, reporting obligations differ, and some cases fall under federal maritime law rather than Florida law alone. The two-year deadline for most negligence claims still applies, and the physical evidence disappears faster than it does on a road.
Do you have an office in Jupiter?
No, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. We serve Jupiter from our West Palm Beach office at 2101 Vista Parkway, Suite 4500, West Palm Beach, FL 33411, which is where the lawyer handling your case sits. It changes nothing about the claim: a Jupiter injury is filed in the Palm Beach County Courthouse in West Palm Beach either way, and the first conversation costs you nothing wherever you are.
Which court hears a Jupiter injury case?
the Palm Beach County Courthouse in West Palm Beach, in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. Claims up to $50,000 are heard in county court and larger claims go to circuit court. If the injury was serious enough for trauma care, the records that matter most usually sit with St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach.
The questions that apply to any Florida claim, deadlines, fees and shared fault, are on our injury claim FAQ.
