Personal Injury Lawyer in Miramar, Florida

Miramar was incorporated in 1955 and takes its name from the Miramar neighborhood of Havana, Cuba. The city stretches about 14 miles from east to west across southern Broward County, along the Miami-Dade County line, which makes it one of the largest cities in the county by land area.

About 142,600 people live in Miramar, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2025 estimate. Roughly four in ten residents are Hispanic, and Census figures show that about half of residents speak a language other than English at home. When something goes wrong after an accident, many families want to explain it 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 Miramar and all of Broward County, and he works on a contingency basis: no fee unless we recover.

Roads and Crash Hot Spots in Miramar

Because Miramar is long and narrow, many residents drive several miles across the city every day. These are the roads where we see the most risk:

• Miramar Parkway The city's main east-west road connects neighborhoods, schools, Miramar Town Center and Miramar Regional Park. I-75 has an interchange with Miramar Parkway (Exit 7), so highway traffic and local traffic mix.
• Interstate 75 I-75 runs north-south through western Miramar. Its junction with the Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike sits on the Miramar and Hialeah line, where drivers merge and change lanes at high speed.
• Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike The Turnpike extension runs along Miramar's southern edge, with interchanges at Red Road (NW 57th Avenue) and at University Drive and County Line Road.
• U.S. 441 (State Road 7) On the city's east side, State Road 7 carries heavy commercial traffic, buses and turning vehicles.
• Pembroke Road and County Line Road These east-west roads carry commuters toward Hollywood, Pembroke Pines and Miami-Dade County.

Miramar Car Accident Lawyer

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

• Car accidents Rear-end, T-bone, head-on and hit-and-run crashes. Read about car accident claims in Florida.
• Motorcycle accidents Riders hurt by drivers who turn left or change lanes without looking. See our Miramar motorcycle accident lawyer page.
• Truck accidents Crashes with tractor-trailers and delivery trucks on I-75, the Turnpike and State Road 7. See truck accident claims.
• Slip and fall injuries Falls at stores, restaurants, apartment complexes and parking lots. See slip and fall cases.
• Rideshare and delivery accidents Passengers and drivers hurt in Uber, Lyft and delivery crashes.

In every case, the key questions are who was at fault, which insurance policies apply and how serious your injuries are.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Miramar

1. Call 911 and get checked. The Miramar Police Department has its own traffic unit, which investigates crashes in the city, including hit-and-run crashes. Ask how to get a copy of the crash report.
2. See a doctor quickly. Florida's PIP (no-fault) coverage generally requires medical treatment within 14 days of the crash. Memorial Hospital Miramar, on SW 172nd Avenue, has a 24/7 emergency room.
3. Photograph the scene. Take pictures of the vehicles, the road, traffic signals and your injuries.
4. Look for cameras. Shopping centers, gas stations and offices along Miramar Parkway and State Road 7 often have security cameras. Video can be erased within days.
5. Be careful with the other driver's insurer. You do not have to give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company. Talk with a lawyer first.
6. Keep a file. Save medical bills, receipts, repair estimates and notes about missed work.

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, regardless of who caused the crash, up to your policy limits.

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

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. Insurers often use this rule to shift blame, so early advice helps.

Miramar is in Broward County, Florida's Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. The South Regional Courthouse is at 3550 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, and larger civil cases are handled at the Central Courthouse on Southeast 6th Street in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
