Accidents We Handle

Kogan & DiSalvo has decades of experience successfully handling a wide range of personal injury cases. Here are some of the most common types of claims we assist with:

Car Accidents

From fender benders to devastating collisions on West Las Olas Boulevard, car accidents can cause serious injuries and financial loss. We help victims recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and more. Florida follows a no-fault insurance system, but in serious injury cases, you may be able to step outside that system and sue the at-fault driver directly.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on the road. If you’ve been struck while riding in Fort Lauderdale, we’ll work to prove fault, hold the responsible party accountable, and pursue full compensation for your injuries.

Truck Accidents

Commercial trucks passing through Sailboat Bend can cause catastrophic damage in an accident. We handle complex truck accident claims involving multiple parties, such as drivers, trucking companies, and insurers.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents

Whether you were hit while crossing the street or riding along the New River, we know how to fight for your rights and hold negligent drivers accountable.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. If you slipped and fell in a restaurant, shop, or public building, you may be entitled to damages for your injuries.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to another party’s negligence is devastating. We help grieving families pursue justice and compensation through wrongful death claims.

When You Can Sue for Damages

Not every accident leads to a lawsuit, but when your injuries are severe and someone else is at fault, filing a personal injury claim may be the best path forward. In Florida, you can sue for damages if:

• Another party acted negligently or recklessly
• Their actions directly caused your injuries
• Your injuries resulted in measurable losses (medical bills, lost wages, etc.)

For car accidents, Florida’s no-fault system means you must first turn to your own PIP (personal injury protection) coverage. However, if your injuries are serious, such as permanent disability, significant disfigurement, or substantial loss of bodily function, you can file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.

How Kogan & DiSalvo Can Help You

When you work with Kogan & DiSalvo, you’re getting more than legal representation, you’re getting a dedicated team that fights for the highest possible compensation in your case. Here’s how we help:

• Investigating the accident thoroughly to determine fault and collect vital evidence
• Negotiating with insurance companies so you don’t get pressured into an unfair settlement
• Calculating full damages, including future medical care, lost earning capacity, and emotional trauma
• Representing you in court if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement

We’ve secured millions in verdicts and settlements for our clients. Our goal is not just to win your case, but to maximize the value of your claim so you can move forward with financial security.

Understanding Florida’s Statute of Limitations

In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, your claim could be barred forever.

There are exceptions and nuances depending on the nature of the case, such as whether the defendant is a government entity, or if the injury wasn’t discovered right away. An experienced attorney will ensure you don’t miss critical deadlines and will understand how these legal details affect your case.
