Coral Ridge, Fort Lauderdale, FL Personal Injury Lawyers

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.

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.
