Coral Springs Personal Injury Lawyer for Broward Families

Coral Springs was incorporated in 1963 and grew from a master-planned community in northwest Broward County into one of the county's largest cities. It borders Parkland to the north, Coconut Creek to the east, Margate and North Lauderdale to the southeast and Tamarac to the south, with the Everglades to the west.

About 139,000 people live in Coral Springs, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2025 estimate, and almost a third of residents are Hispanic. For many of these families, being able to explain an injury and ask questions in Spanish makes a real difference. 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 Coral Springs and all of Broward County, and he works on a contingency basis: no fee unless we recover.

Roads and Crash Hot Spots in Coral Springs

Coral Springs is a suburban city, but its main roads carry heavy traffic between neighborhoods, schools, shopping centers and the Sawgrass Expressway.

• Sawgrass Expressway (State Road 869) The city's only limited-access highway runs along its northern and western edges, with exits at Atlantic Boulevard, Sample Road, Coral Ridge Drive and University Drive. It is an all-electronic toll road.
• Sawgrass widening work zone Florida's Turnpike is widening the expressway from north of Sample Road to south of University Drive and converting the Coral Ridge Drive interchange to a diverging diamond. Work zones mean lane shifts, narrower shoulders and sudden stops.
• University Drive (State Road 817) A major north-south road lined with shopping centers and side streets. Its state road section ends at Sample Road in Coral Springs, and it continues north toward Parkland.
• Sample Road and Atlantic Boulevard The city's main east-west roads connect neighborhoods to the expressway and to roads farther east. Left turns at busy intersections and rear-end crashes in stop-and-go traffic are common.
• School and shopping zones Morning drop-offs, afternoon pickups and shopping center driveways put drivers, teen drivers, cyclists and pedestrians in the same space.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Coral Springs

1. Call 911 and get checked. The Coral Springs Police Department 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 medical treatment within 14 days of the crash. Broward Health Coral Springs, on Coral Hills Drive, has a 24/7 emergency department.
3. Photograph the scene. Take pictures of the vehicles, the road, traffic signals and your injuries.
4. Look for cameras. Shopping centers along University Drive, Sample Road and Atlantic Boulevard often have security cameras. Video can be erased quickly, 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, receipts, repair estimates and notes about missed work and daily pain.

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.

When injuries are serious, for example a permanent injury, you may be able to make a claim against the at-fault driver for 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.

Florida also follows a modified comparative fault rule. If you are 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 it helps to get advice early.

Courts and Hospitals Near Coral Springs

Coral Springs is in Broward County, which is Florida's Seventeenth Judicial Circuit. The Central Courthouse is on Southeast 6th Street in downtown Fort Lauderdale, and the county also has regional courthouses, including one on West Hillsboro Boulevard in Deerfield Beach. Most injury claims settle through negotiation with the insurance company, but if a lawsuit is needed, it is usually filed in Broward County.

For the most serious injuries, Broward County's trauma centers include Broward Health North, a Level II trauma center, and the Level I trauma centers at Broward Health Medical Center and Memorial Regional Hospital.
