Pompano Beach Car Accident Lawyer for Broward County Families

Pompano Beach sits on the Atlantic coast just north of Fort Lauderdale and is home to about 117,200 people (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2025 estimate). About one in four residents is Hispanic, and more than four in ten speak a language other than English at home, according to the Census Bureau. The Town of Pompano was incorporated in 1908 and became the City of Pompano Beach in 1947. Today the city mixes beachfront condominiums along A1A, older neighborhoods around Dixie Highway and busy commercial corridors near I-95.

Every day, thousands of people pass through Pompano Beach on their way to jobs in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and the rest of South Florida, and visitors come for the beach, the pier and the casino. More traffic means more crashes. Afterward, you may be dealing with pain, missed work, a car in the shop and calls from adjusters who want a quick recorded statement.

Tomas Robirosa handles car accident claims for people hurt in Pompano Beach: rear-end collisions in stop-and-go traffic, T-bone crashes at intersections, sideswipes on I-95, hit-and-runs, and crashes with drivers who have little or no insurance. You can meet with him by phone, by video or in person, and he keeps you informed at every step.

Roads and Crash Hot Spots in Pompano Beach

A few major roads carry most of the traffic in Pompano Beach. If you live or work here, you probably use at least one of them every day:

• Atlantic Boulevard (State Road 814) The city's main east-west road. It has an interchange with Florida's Turnpike, meets I-95 near Andrews Avenue, crosses U.S. 1 (Federal Highway) and ends at A1A by the ocean. Its intersection with Dixie Highway is the center point of the city's street grid.
• Interstate 95 I-95 runs north-south through the city, with exits at Atlantic Boulevard, Copans Road and Sample Road, which marks the line with Deerfield Beach. Rush-hour slowdowns and last-second lane changes near the ramps lead to rear-end and sideswipe crashes.
• Federal Highway and Dixie Highway Busy north-south corridors lined with shopping plazas, restaurants, bus stops and driveways, where turning cars, cyclists and pedestrians mix.
• A1A (Ocean Boulevard) The beachfront road past condominiums, hotels, the Fisher Family Pier and public beach parking. Visitors looking for a parking space, people crossing to the beach and drivers backing out of spaces all share the road.
• Copans Road and Sample Road East-west roads with heavy traffic to and from I-95. Copans Road leads to the Pompano Citi Centre shopping area.
• Event and visitor traffic Harrah's Pompano Beach casino, the Pompano Beach Amphitheater, which seats about 3,000 people, and the beach bring heavy traffic in the evenings and on weekends, when parking lots and nearby intersections fill up.

Personal Injury Lawyer in Pompano Beach

Not every injury happens in a car. As a personal injury lawyer serving Pompano Beach, Tomas Robirosa also helps residents and visitors with other personal injury claims, including:

• Motorcycle accidents in Pompano Beach, on I-95, Atlantic Boulevard, Federal Highway and A1A
• Slip and fall injuries in Pompano Beach at stores, restaurants, condominiums, hotels and parking lots
• Truck accidents involving tractor-trailers on I-95 and Florida's Turnpike or delivery trucks on city streets
• Uber, Lyft and delivery driver accidents
• Pedestrian accidents, including people struck near the beach, at bus stops and in busy crosswalks

Whatever happened, the key questions are usually the same: who is responsible, which insurance policies apply, and what your injuries will cost you now and in the years ahead. Getting clear answers early helps you avoid mistakes that can weaken a claim.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Pompano Beach

1. Call 911 and get checked. The City of Pompano Beach contracts with the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) for police services, so BSO deputies usually respond to crashes on city streets. Crashes on I-95 or Florida's Turnpike are often handled by the Florida Highway Patrol. Ask how to get a copy of the crash report.
2. See a doctor quickly. Florida's PIP (no-fault) law generally requires that you get initial medical treatment within 14 days of the crash to use your PIP benefits. Every case is different, so speak with an attorney to confirm how the rules apply to you.
3. Photograph the scene. Take pictures of both vehicles, the road, traffic signals, skid marks and debris, your injuries, and the other driver's license, plate and insurance card. Get the names and phone numbers of witnesses.
4. Look for cameras. Many businesses along Atlantic Boulevard, Federal Highway and near the beach have security cameras. Footage is often recorded over within days, so it helps to ask early that it be saved.
5. Be careful with the other driver's insurer. Don't give a recorded statement or sign a release or medical authorization before you understand what it means.
6. Keep a file. Save medical bills, pharmacy receipts, repair estimates, notes about missed work and every letter or email from an insurance company.

Florida No-Fault Insurance and Comparative Fault

Florida is a no-fault state for car insurance. Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage generally pays a share of your medical bills and lost wages first, no matter who caused the crash, up to your policy limit. After a serious crash, PIP almost never covers everything.

When injuries are significant, you may be able to bring a claim against the at-fault driver for what PIP leaves unpaid, such as the rest of your medical bills, future treatment, lost earning ability and pain and suffering. If that driver has little or no bodily injury coverage, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM) coverage may help, if you have it. Rental cars, company vehicles and rideshare trips can bring other policies into the picture.

Florida also follows a modified comparative negligence rule. In general, if you are found more than 50% at fault for your own injuries, you cannot recover damages from the other driver; if you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your share of the fault. Insurers know this rule well, and they often try to shift blame to the injured person.

Courts and Hospitals Near Pompano Beach

Pompano Beach is in Broward County, which makes up Florida's Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. If a lawsuit is needed, it is usually filed in Broward County. The Broward County Clerk of Courts lists the Central Courthouse at 201 S.E. 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale and the North Regional Courthouse at 1600 W. Hillsboro Boulevard in Deerfield Beach, a short drive north of Pompano Beach. Most injury claims are resolved without a trial, but preparing every case as if it may go to court puts you in a stronger position.

After the most serious crashes, patients may be taken to a trauma center. The Florida Department of Health lists Broward Health North, on East Sample Road in Deerfield Beach, as a Level II trauma center and Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale as a Level I trauma center.
