The Law Offices of Wolf & Pravato is home to Fort Lauderdale car accident lawyers dedicated to helping victims secure the compensation they deserve. While we are a trusted choice for car accident lawyers in Fort Lauderdale, our personal injury lawyers have also successfully helped clients throughout Florida recover compensation in a wide range of cases.
We have been doing this type of work for two decades and counting. We look forward to continuing such work in the future, as we aggressively fight for the rights of our clients. In the meantime, this brief history of the firm can illustrate how we have grown over the years.
Meet Richard Pravato Our Founding and Managing Partner
Richard P. Pravato is one of our firm’s founding and managing partners.To better understand the experience and qualifications he brings to the firm he helped start, consider the following overview of his education and career:
- Richard attended Nova Southeastern School of Law. He graduated magna cum laude in 1996. Upon graduating, Richard was among the top 5% of academic performers in his class. During his time as a student, he won several Academic Excellence awards.
- Richard began litigating personal injury cases in Florida courts soon after his graduation in 1996. He would become a Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney, meaning the Florida Bar allows him to be identified as a “specialist” or “expert” in a particular area of law. It is worth noting that approximately 4,500 out of the 93,000 attorneys currently licensed to practice in Florida are Board Certified, highlighting the distinction of this achievement.
- Richard has proven throughout his career that he can secure both substantial settlements and jury verdicts. Types of cases he has handled include (but are not limited to) wrongful death, product liability, motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, and other types of cases involving negligence.
Richard is also a member in good standing of such professional organizations as:
- Florida Bar Board Certified Civil Trial Attorneys
- American Justice Association
- Florida Justice Association
- Broward County Justice Association
- Million Dollar Advocates Forum
- Broward County Bar Association
- Florida Bar Association
- American Bar Association
- American Civil Liberties Union

Our Track Record of Success Personal Injury Cases
As our firm expanded over the years, we cultivated a reputation for offering the type of service that yields results. The following are just a few examples of case results we have achieved for our clients over the years.
- $3.85 million settlement in an auto accident case in which a truck rolled over on a Fort Lauderdale street after its driver attempted to perform a reckless turn. Our client sustained severe injuries, incentivizing us to fight for a relatively high settlement in an auto wreck case.
- Our law firm was involved in a class action case that resulted in an $800 million settlement for plaintiffs. The plaintiffs in this complex case were property owners who alleged that a manufacturer sold defective drywall that ended up in their homes.
- We have secured millions of dollars in funeral home negligence cases. These types of cases, which not all personal injury firms handle, involve such forms of negligence as mishandling a corpse or even robbing it.
Those are just some examples of victories we have achieved for our clients. Our commitment to unbeatable service is demonstrated in our results.
In addition, we have always believed our clients should not take a financial risk by hiring us. That is why we offer contingency fee agreements, meaning we do not charge our clients any legal fees for our services unless we succeed in securing compensation for them first. In other words, you only pay if you win your case. This has been one of our core values for decades.
Our Commitment to Supporting Charities and Local Causes
As personal injury lawyers, we have the opportunity to serve clients throughout Florida. We believe one of our most important roles involves advocating for those who might not be in a position to effectively advocate for themselves.
This is just one of the many ways we have supported the community. Since its early days, our firm has also prioritized supporting various causes and charities we believe in. The following are just a few examples:
- I Care Cure Childhood Cancer Foundation (with one of our attorneys serving on the foundation’s board of directors)
- Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association, Inc
- Wayne Barton Study School
- Southwest Florida Addiction Services
- American Cancer Society
- Broward Outreach Centers
- March of Dimes Foundation
- Debbie’s Dream Foundation
Again, that is by no means a complete list of all the causes we support. By contributing to charities, foundations, and other such causes and organizations, we can supplement the work we do providing representation to injured people throughout Florida.
