Plantation Personal Injury Lawyer
Plantation is where I-595, Broward Boulevard and University Drive meet, which makes it one of the busiest few square miles in the county and a short drive from our office. We handle Plantation 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 Plantation
I-595 cuts across the south of the city and feeds Broward Boulevard, University Drive and Pine Island Road with traffic moving between the airport, the Turnpike and the western suburbs. The result is a set of intersections carrying highway-volume traffic under ordinary signal control, and rear-end and sideswipe collisions in stop-and-go conditions make up a large share of the claims.
The city also has a dense concentration of retail, office parks and medical buildings, which produces premises cases rather than road cases: falls in parking garages, on wet interior floors and on poorly lit walkways. Those claims turn on notice, meaning whether the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard. Florida sets out that standard for transitory substances in a business by statute, and it is a higher bar than most people expect, which is why the maintenance and inspection logs are the first records we ask for.

What do I have to prove in a Florida slip and fall inside a business?
That the business knew or should have known about the substance you slipped on. The statute requires showing the condition existed long enough that the business should have found it, or that it happened regularly enough to be foreseeable. That is why footage and inspection logs matter more than photographs of the floor afterward, and why the request for them needs to go out before they are recycled.
