This page explains, in plain words, how car accident and injury claims generally work in western Broward County and what you can do now to protect your claim. It is general information, not legal advice; every case is different.

Weston Car Accident Lawyer for Broward County Families

Weston is Broward County's westernmost city, bordered by the Everglades on the north and west, Sunrise to the northeast, Davie to the east and Southwest Ranches to the south. It is home to about 69,600 people (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2025 estimate), and more than half of its residents are Hispanic, according to the Census Bureau. Weston grew out of a master-planned community and was incorporated as a city on September 3, 1996.

Most Weston families drive everywhere: to work in Fort Lauderdale or Miami, to schools, to Weston Town Center and to the Cleveland Clinic campus. Many trips start or end on I-75, I-595 or State Road 84. When a crash happens, 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 Weston: rear-end collisions in rush-hour traffic, T-bone crashes at intersections, sideswipes on I-75, 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 Weston

A handful of highways and main roads carry most of Weston's traffic. If you live or work here, you probably use at least one of them every day:

• Interstate 75 I-75 runs along Weston's eastern edge, and its east-west stretch along the northern edge, known as Alligator Alley, heads across the Everglades toward Naples. Long-distance traffic, trucks and commuters share the road at high speed.
• I-595 and the I-75 interchange I-595 begins where Weston, Sunrise and Davie meet, connecting I-75 to the rest of Broward County. Merging and weaving near this interchange is a common setting for rear-end and sideswipe crashes.
• State Road 84 State Road 84 serves as I-75's service road and forms Weston's northern border, with signalized intersections such as Bonaventure Boulevard beneath the interstate.
• Weston Road and Bonaventure Boulevard Main north-south and east-west routes past shopping centers, schools and neighborhood entrances, with heavy school drop-off and rush-hour traffic.
• Griffin Road and U.S. 27 Griffin Road (State Road 818) runs along the southern side of the city, and U.S. 27 runs north-south through its western fringe near the Everglades.
• Weston Town Center and school zones Busy parking lots, crosswalks and school pickup lines create low-speed crashes and pedestrian injuries.

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

• Truck accidents in Weston, on I-75, Alligator Alley, I-595 and U.S. 27

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 Weston

1. Call 911 and get checked. Police services in Weston are provided by the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) through its Weston District, so BSO deputies usually respond to crashes on city streets. Crashes on I-75 or I-595 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 Weston Road, Bonaventure Boulevard and at Weston Town Center 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. Out-of-state drivers, rental cars and company vehicles 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 Weston

Weston 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. 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.

Cleveland Clinic's Weston Hospital, on Weston Road, has an emergency department. 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.

A Spanish-Speaking Lawyer for Weston Families

For many families in Weston, Spanish is the language spoken at home. After a crash, you shouldn't have to explain your injuries through an interpreter or sign papers you don't fully understand. Tomas Robirosa speaks Spanish and English, and you can talk with him directly about your case, your medical care and every offer from the insurance company.

We also walk you through the documents that matter, from the crash report to medical records and settlement papers, so you can make decisions with confidence. This page is also available in Spanish.
