Davie Personal Injury Lawyer for Broward County Families

Davie sits in the middle of Broward County, west of Fort Lauderdale, and is home to about 110,900 people (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2025 estimate). About four in ten residents are Hispanic, according to the Census Bureau. Davie is often described as the largest town in Florida by population, and it still keeps its Western roots: horse trails, ranches and the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds sit just a few miles from college campuses, shopping centers and some of the busiest highways in South Florida.

That mix brings a lot of traffic. Students and staff head to Nova Southeastern University and Broward College's Central Campus, commuters use I-595 and Florida's Turnpike, and trucks move through the I-595 corridor all day. When a crash or a fall happens, you may be dealing with pain, missed work, medical bills and calls from adjusters who want a quick recorded statement.

Tomas Robirosa handles personal injury claims for people hurt in Davie, from car and truck crashes to falls at stores and apartment complexes. 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 Davie

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

• Interstate 595 and State Road 84 I-595 runs east-west along Davie's northern side, with exits at Flamingo Road, Hiatus Road, Nob Hill Road, Pine Island Road, University Drive and Davie Road, plus an interchange with Florida's Turnpike. State Road 84 runs beside it as a frontage road, and the reversible express lanes in the median add more merging points.
• University Drive (State Road 817) A busy north-south road through Davie. Between Griffin Road and I-595 it passes Nova Southeastern University and Broward College's Central Campus, where students, buses and turning traffic mix.
• Griffin Road (State Road 818) A major east-west road across the south side of town, lined with plazas, gas stations and driveways.
• Davie Road and Pine Island Road North-south roads that connect neighborhoods, schools and shopping areas to I-595.
• Florida's Turnpike The Turnpike crosses I-595 in Davie. Heavy, fast traffic and last-second lane changes near the interchange lead to rear-end and sideswipe crashes.
• Event traffic and horse country Concerts, rodeos and shows at the Davie Arena at the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds fill nearby roads on weekends, and in the western part of town drivers share the road with horse trailers and riders.

Davie Car Accident Lawyer

Many injury cases in Davie start with a car crash. As a Davie car accident lawyer, Tomas Robirosa handles car accident claims of every kind: rear-end collisions in stop-and-go traffic on University Drive, T-bone crashes at intersections, sideswipes on I-595, hit-and-runs, and crashes with drivers who have little or no insurance.

He also helps with other injury claims in Davie, including:

• Truck accidents in Davie, on I-595, Florida's Turnpike and State Road 84
• Motorcycle accidents in Davie, on I-595, University Drive, Griffin Road and Davie Road
• Slip and fall injuries in Davie at stores, restaurants, apartment complexes and campuses
• Uber, Lyft and delivery driver accidents
• Pedestrian accidents, including people struck near campuses, bus stops and 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.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Davie

1. Call 911 and get checked. The Town of Davie has its own police department, so Davie police officers usually respond to crashes on town streets. Crashes on I-595, I-75 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 University Drive, Griffin Road and near the campuses 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. Company vehicles, delivery vans 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 Davie

Davie 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 Central Courthouse is at 201 S.E. 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale, and the West Regional Courthouse is on North Pine Island Road in Plantation, a short drive north of Davie. 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 Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale and Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood as Level I trauma centers.

After a crash or a fall, you shouldn't have to explain your injuries through an interpreter or sign papers you don't fully understand.
