The consultation is free, and you can talk with him in Spanish or English.

Personal Injury Lawyer in Boynton Beach

Boynton Beach is one of the larger cities in southern Palm Beach County. It was incorporated in 1920 and sits just north of Delray Beach, between the Atlantic coast and the farm and suburban areas to the west. Interstate 95 was built through the city and completed in 1977, and Florida's Turnpike runs along its western side. That puts a lot of local and through traffic on the same roads every day.

The city is home to about 82,000 people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2025 estimate, and roughly one in six residents is Hispanic. Many of those families are more comfortable explaining something as stressful as an accident in Spanish. With Tomas, they can.

Tomas Robirosa handles personal injury cases for people hurt in car crashes, truck crashes, motorcycle crashes, falls and other accidents caused by someone else's carelessness. He serves Boynton Beach and all of Palm Beach County, and he works on a contingency basis: no fee unless we recover.

Roads and Crash Hot Spots in Boynton Beach

Most serious crashes in and around Boynton Beach happen on a handful of busy roads where high speeds, heavy traffic and constant turning movements meet.

• Interstate 95 I-95 runs north-south through the city, with exits at Woolbright Road (Exit 56), Boynton Beach Boulevard (Exit 57) and Gateway Boulevard (Exit 59), and Hypoluxo Road (Exit 60) just to the north. Merging traffic at these ramps and sudden slowdowns are common crash factors.
• Florida's Turnpike The Turnpike has an interchange at Boynton Beach Boulevard (Exit 86). The Turnpike has been carrying out an improvement project at that interchange, and work zones change lane patterns and add risk for drivers who are not paying attention.
• Boynton Beach Boulevard (State Road 804) The city's main east-west road runs from U.S. 441 to the coast, crossing Jog Road, Military Trail, Congress Avenue and U.S. 1 before becoming Ocean Avenue and crossing the Intracoastal Waterway on a drawbridge.
• Congress Avenue A busy commercial corridor with the Boynton Beach Mall, Renaissance Commons and Boynton Town Center. Shopping center driveways, left turns and pedestrians make it a frequent spot for rear-end and side-impact crashes.
• Gateway Boulevard Gateway connects I-95 with the Tri-Rail station on High Ridge Road and the business areas west of the interstate, so commuters, buses and delivery traffic share the road.

Boynton Beach Car Accident Lawyer

Car accidents are the most common reason people in Boynton Beach call us, but Tomas handles many kinds of injury cases:

• Car accidents Rear-end, side-impact, head-on and hit-and-run crashes. Read more about car accident claims in Florida.
• Truck accidents Crashes with tractor-trailers, box trucks and delivery vans on I-95, the Turnpike and the commercial corridors. See our Boynton Beach truck accident lawyer page.
• Motorcycle accidents Riders are often hurt when drivers turn left in front of them or change lanes without looking. Learn about motorcycle accident claims.
• Slip and fall injuries Falls at stores, restaurants, apartment complexes and parking lots. See slip and fall cases.
• Pedestrian and rideshare accidents People hit while walking near shopping centers or the Tri-Rail station, and passengers or drivers hurt in Uber, Lyft and delivery crashes.

Whatever happened, the key questions are the same: who was at fault, what insurance applies, and how serious and lasting your injuries are.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Boynton Beach

1. Call 911 and get checked. The Boynton Beach Police Department usually responds to crashes on city streets. Ask how to get a copy of the crash report.
2. See a doctor quickly. Florida's PIP (no-fault) coverage generally requires that you get medical treatment within 14 days of the crash for those benefits to apply. Bethesda Hospital East on South Seacrest Boulevard has a 24/7 emergency room.
3. Photograph the scene. Take pictures of both vehicles, the road, traffic signals, skid marks and your injuries.
4. Look for cameras. Many businesses along Congress Avenue and Boynton Beach Boulevard have security cameras. Video is often erased within days, so it should be requested early.
5. Be careful with the other driver's insurance. You do not have to give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer. Talk with a lawyer first.
6. Keep a file. Save medical bills, pharmacy receipts, repair estimates and notes about missed work and how you feel each day.

Florida No-Fault Insurance and Comparative Fault

Florida is a no-fault state for car insurance. That means 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 the limits of your policy.

When injuries are significant, for example a permanent injury, you may be able to bring a claim against the at-fault driver for the losses PIP does not cover, including pain and suffering. The other driver's bodily injury coverage and your own uninsured motorist coverage can both matter here.

Florida also follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found partly at fault, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, and if you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover damages from the other driver. Insurance companies know this rule well and often try to shift blame, which is one reason to get advice early.

Courts and Hospitals Near Boynton Beach

Boynton Beach is part of Florida's Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, which covers Palm Beach County. The main courthouse is on North Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach, and the South County Courthouse is on West Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. Most injury claims are resolved through negotiation with the insurance company, but if a lawsuit is needed, it is usually filed in Palm Beach County.

For medical care, Bethesda Hospital East, part of Baptist Health, is in Boynton Beach on South Seacrest Boulevard. Palm Beach County's Level I trauma centers are Delray Medical Center, which serves the southern part of the county, and St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach. After a serious crash, paramedics decide where to take you based on your injuries.
