Nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and Federal Highway, Coral Ridge is one of Fort Lauderdale’s most desirable neighborhoods. With its blend of waterfront living, upscale shopping, and nearby beaches, it’s easy to forget that the area also experiences its fair share of accidents. East Sunrise Boulevard and North Federal Highway, which border the neighborhood, have been flagged as dangerous corridors due to frequent traffic congestion and reckless driving. In fact, throughout Fort Lauderdale, there are thousands of reported accidents each year involving everything from distracted driving to pedestrian collisions.

At Kogan & DiSalvo, we recognize that even in the most peaceful communities, life can change in an instant. We are here to serve the Coral Ridge community with compassionate legal guidance and aggressive representation for those who have been injured because someone else was careless or negligent. Whether your injury happened just outside Galleria Mall or while crossing A1A on your bike, we’re ready to help.

Coral Ridge, Fort Lauderdale, FL Personal Injury Lawyers

The Types of Injury Cases We Handle

Every personal injury case is different, but our goal is always the same: helping you recover compensation and regain control of your life. We handle a wide range of injury claims, including:

Car Accidents

If another driver was speeding, ran a red light, or simply wasn’t paying attention, you may have a right to recover compensation. Many of our clients come to us after being hit in intersections or rear-ended in heavy Fort Lauderdale traffic. Our firm handles the investigation, gathers witness statements, pulls camera footage, and negotiates with insurers so you don’t have to.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are often overlooked on the road, and when that leads to injury, the consequences can be devastating. If you were hit while riding in Coral Ridge or on the Causeway, we’ll make sure your voice is heard. We fight back against unfair stereotypes and build your case around facts and expert testimony.

Truck Accidents

Large commercial trucks often travel through busy corridors like US-1 and Sunrise Boulevard. When a truck driver or their employer fails to follow safety regulations and you get hurt, our attorneys will act quickly to preserve critical evidence like logbooks, GPS data, and maintenance records.

Delivery Truck Accidents

Online shopping has led to a surge of delivery traffic in residential neighborhoods like Coral Ridge. If a delivery truck driver backed into your car or hit you while speeding through a residential zone, we’ll trace liability through the driver and potentially the company behind them.

Tow Truck Accidents

Tow truck drivers have a responsibility to operate their vehicles with care—especially in neighborhoods with tight residential streets. If you were injured due to negligent towing or unsafe driving, we’ll investigate driver history, vehicle condition, and dispatch logs.

Rideshare Accidents

Whether you were a passenger in a rideshare vehicle or were hit by one, these cases are unique due to insurance layers and contract loopholes. We navigate Uber and Lyft’s liability policies to make sure you are not stuck with unpaid medical bills.

Taxi Accidents

Taxis still operate in Fort Lauderdale, and their insurance policies differ from those of private drivers. If you were injured as a taxi passenger or by a negligent taxi driver, we know how to pursue compensation from both company and driver accounts.

Boat Accidents

Coral Ridge’s proximity to the Intracoastal makes boating popular, but also dangerous. Boating under the influence, lack of safety equipment, or operator inattention can lead to catastrophic outcomes. We handle cases involving personal boats, jet skis, and charters.

Catastrophic Injury Lawsuits

Some injuries change lives forever. If you or a loved one suffered a traumatic brain injury, loss of limb, or paralysis due to someone else’s negligence, we will build a long-term compensation strategy that includes medical care, home modifications, and future income loss.

Mass Torts

When a defective product, drug, or medical device harms many people, those individuals may have the option to join a mass tort claim. If you’re in Coral Ridge and believe you’ve been injured due to a dangerous pharmaceutical or recalled product, we will evaluate whether your case qualifies. Our firm has experience in coordinating with national litigation efforts and making sure your specific injuries don’t get lost in the crowd.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Coral Ridge is home to several assisted living and care facilities, and while many offer excellent service, not all meet the standard of care our elderly loved ones deserve. If your parent or relative has experienced physical abuse, unexplained injuries, dehydration, or emotional neglect, we will hold the facility and its staff accountable.

Premises Liability Cases

Property owners must ensure their premises are reasonably safe. If you slipped on a wet floor at a Coral Ridge business, were injured by falling merchandise, or suffered due to poor lighting or negligent security, you may have a valid premises liability case. We’ll work to prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Falls can cause more than bruises, hip fractures, back injuries, and head trauma are common in these cases. Whether your fall happened in a grocery store, parking garage, or on an uneven sidewalk, our legal team will determine fault and pursue the compensation you need to recover fully.

Spine Injury Lawsuits

Spinal cord damage can affect every part of your life. From reduced mobility to permanent disability, the medical and emotional toll is severe. We bring in medical experts to document the full extent of your injuries and push for damages that reflect lifelong care needs.

Workers’ Compensation Claims

Workplace injuries can occur anywhere—from construction sites to office buildings in the Coral Ridge area. If you were injured on the job, we help you file a strong claim for benefits, assist with appealing a denial, or identify third-party liability that might entitle you to additional compensation beyond workers’ comp.

Bus Accidents

Public and private buses operate along major streets near Coral Ridge, and collisions with these vehicles can result in serious injuries for both passengers and other drivers. We handle the added complexity that comes with municipal claims or corporate transportation liability.

Hurricane Damage

As residents of South Florida know, hurricane season brings the risk of severe property damage. If your insurance company delays, underpays, or outright denies your claim after a storm, we step in to enforce your rights under your homeowners or business policy.

Pedestrian Accidents

Walking around Coral Ridge should not put your life at risk, but drivers often fail to yield in crosswalks or speed through residential zones. If you or a family member has been hit by a car, we will pursue maximum compensation and make sure your case includes all the long-term implications of your injuries.

Product Liability Cases

You have the right to expect that everyday products, appliances, tools, electronics, or children’s toys—are safe. When manufacturing defects or poor design causes harm, we’ll investigate whether a recall has been issued, coordinate with experts, and take action against the manufacturer or seller.

Social Security Claims

If you’ve become disabled and cannot work, Social Security Disability benefits can be a lifeline, but the process is often frustrating and confusing. If your claim has been denied or delayed, we help you navigate the appeals system and provide the necessary documentation to support your case.

Wrongful Death Lawsuits

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is devastating. If their death was caused by someone else’s negligence, whether from a traffic accident, unsafe property, or medical error, we pursue claims on behalf of surviving family members. We focus on securing compensation that can support your family financially while honoring the memory of your loved one.

Damages Available in Coral Ridge Personal Injury Claims

When you’ve been injured through no fault of your own, the financial strain can be just as overwhelming as the physical pain. At Kogan & DiSalvo, we fight to ensure that all your losses, economic and non-economic, are fully accounted for in your injury claim. The damages you may be eligible to receive include:

Medical Costs

  • Emergency transportation and treatment
  • Hospital stays and surgeries
  • Ongoing medical care, including physical therapy and pain management
  • Prescription medications and assistive devices
  • Future medical expenses based on long-term injuries

Lost Income

  • Wages lost while you recover from your injuries
  • Income from freelance or contract work that you were unable to perform
  • Future lost earnings if you can’t return to the same job or work in the same capacity
  • Loss of business opportunities or bonuses

Pain and Suffering

  • Physical pain endured during and after the injury
  • Emotional distress including anxiety, depression, and trauma
  • Loss of enjoyment of life if you are unable to participate in activities you once enjoyed
  • Permanent disfigurement or disability

Property Damage

  • Costs to repair or replace a damaged vehicle or other personal property
  • Value of destroyed items in a boating or home accident

Loss of Consortium

  • Emotional and relational harm to your spouse or close family caused by your injuries
  • Loss of companionship or inability to contribute to household relationships as before

Punitive Damages (in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm)

  • Additional compensation intended to punish the at-fault party and deter others from similar conduct

We work with medical professionals, vocational experts, and economists to accurately calculate your damages and build a case that reflects the true impact of the injury on your life now and in the future.

Samantha made everything clear and straightforward, always taking the time to explain things and keeping everything on track. Her experience and efficiency really stood out. I’m thankful she was part of the team and truly appreciate everything she did.

Three years ago I had an injury while away on vacation and contacted Kogan and DiSalvo the next day. Their entire team were absolutely great from my initial call and intake, to trial date and settlement.
My attorney, George, helped me through every step of the process. He always kept me informed on the progress of the case and always responded to any questions I had.
I highly recommend Kogan & DiSalvo, a law firm that truly cares about their clients.

Kohan Desalvo is an exemplary professional whose commitment to guiding clients is truly commendable.

The firm was great with my case.

5

I had the pleasure of working with Todd Baker and, more closely, Paul Sylvestri on my case. From the very beginning, Paul was not only thorough and knowledgeable, but also made me feel truly supported. He handled every step with urgency and care, ensuring that the process moved forward efficiently, far faster than I expected, given how long cases like mine can often drag on.

What stood out most was how genuinely I felt treated as a person, not just another case file. I quickly learned that most personal injury law firms make clients feel like they’re just part of a revolving door. That was never the case here. Paul and his team prioritized my well-being and worked hard to ensure I was fairly and fully compensated for my suffering.

Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment made an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I’m incredibly grateful for the outcome and the way I was treated throughout the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

Jennifer was amazing throughout the whole process.

I was fortunate to be represented by this amazing law firm after a car accident, and I have nothing but gratitude for their work. From the very first contact, they demonstrated professionalism, empathy, and a genuine commitment to resolving my case in the best possible way.

I want to especially highlight Stephany Herrera, who was my first point of contact. From the beginning, she was open, attentive, and truly listened to me. Thanks to her, I was connected with attorney Paul Silvestri, who, along with the entire team, handled my case with excellence, keeping me informed every step of the way.

Thanks to their dedication and hard work, my case was successfully resolved. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you again to the entire team for your support and commitment.

The number one characteristic I liked about this firm was the communication. Every member of team was pleasant to talk to. Having access virtually was awesome with all video explanations about the process. The team worked well together to settle my case. I wish I knew every team members name. Thank You team for your hard work and effort. I can say my medical bills are paid and my case settled. Thanks Again for being a reputable organization.

5

Absolutely astonishing to work with. Not only has every question I’ve asked been answered, everyone has made everything in the process very pleasing!

5

My wife and I were in a major accident. After the accident one of our big worries was our medical bills. Sam at Kogan and DiSalvo coordinated with our Drs to assure coverage and put our minds at rest. I had to have surgery which thankfully went well. I was very happy to not have any unanswered concerns during that time. The person who hit us blamed us for the accident but our dash camera showed them at fault. Tiffany our Rockstar of a lawyer proved them at fault and leveraged the insurance for the maximum settlement. She then went after our under/uninsured coverage and fought for a settlement that we could never have dreamed of. Never a doubt Tiffany and the team of Kogan and DiSalvo are the lawyers that you want on your side. Thank you again.

Trust the Process – Outstanding Team, Remarkable Results

Working with Kogan & DiSalvo was one of the best decisions I could’ve made—and a huge part of that was thanks to Tiffany Fanelli. From start to finish, she and the team were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me through every step of the legal process.

You really have to trust the process. It can be slow, and at times, it might feel like nothing is happening—but behind the scenes, your team is working hard. If you have questions, ask. If you’re not sure what to do, ask. That open communication made all the difference for me, and it helped me stay informed and confident the entire way through.

I can’t thank Tiffany and the firm enough for their hard work and support. Their patience, professionalism, and attention to detail led to an outcome that exceeded my expectations.

One more thing—if you don’t have UM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage, get it. Too many drivers out there are uninsured, and protecting yourself with UM coverage is essential. I’ve learned how crucial it is, and I hope others will too.

Highly recommend Kogan & DiSalvo, and especially Tiffany Fanelli, for anyone needing a reliable and compassionate legal team. Thank you all for All your hard work.
