Car Accidents

If you were injured in a car crash in Fort Lauderdale, our team of experienced car accident lawyers can help you take immediate action. Florida’s no-fault laws can be confusing, and insurance companies often try to minimize your claim or delay payment. Whether you were rear-ended in heavy traffic, struck by a distracted driver, or injured in a multi-vehicle pileup, we know how to gather evidence, build a strong case, and negotiate with insurers to get you paid. We handle every type of car accident claim, including those involving drunk driving, speeding, uninsured drivers, and intersection collisions. From minor injuries to major trauma, we’re here to help you recover full compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents often cause catastrophic injuries due to the sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles. If you or a loved one was hit by a semi-truck, box truck, or 18-wheeler in Fort Lauderdale or along I-95, you need a truck accident attorney who understands both Florida law and federal trucking regulations. At Englander Peebles, we know how to investigate trucking companies, uncover logbook violations, and hold commercial drivers accountable for negligence. These cases often involve multiple parties—from the driver to the carrier to third-party maintenance providers—and we pursue every avenue to recover the compensation our clients deserve. Trucking companies have aggressive legal teams; you should too. We’re here to level the playing field.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accident victims often face severe injuries—and unfair blame. At Englander Peebles, we represent riders who’ve been injured by negligent drivers throughout Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding area. Whether your crash involved a car turning left in front of you, a vehicle merging without checking blind spots, or a dangerous road hazard, we’ll fight to get you the financial recovery you need. Florida's comparative fault system means you can recover even if you're partially blamed for the crash, and we’ll work to push back on any bias against motorcyclists. We handle cases involving traumatic brain injuries, road rash, spinal damage, and more. If you’re recovering from a motorcycle accident, don’t go up against the insurance companies alone.

Uber & Rideshare Accidents

Accidents involving Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare vehicles present unique legal challenges. If you were hurt while riding in an Uber, driving for a rideshare platform, or hit by a rideshare vehicle in Fort Lauderdale, it’s critical to work with a lawyer who understands how these cases work. Englander Peebles has experience dealing with complex insurance coverage issues that arise with rideshare accidents, including Uber’s $1 million policy limits and when they apply. We’ll help you determine who’s responsible, file the right claims, and recover compensation whether the rideshare driver was on the app or not. From soft tissue injuries to major trauma, we pursue maximum compensation for every client.

Bicycle Accidents

Fort Lauderdale’s roads can be dangerous for cyclists. If you were hit by a car while riding your bike—whether in a bike lane, at a crosswalk, or on a residential street—you have rights under Florida law. Our bicycle accident lawyers understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll of being struck by a vehicle. We work to hold negligent drivers accountable and pursue compensation for medical care, missed work, property damage, and long-term consequences. Whether the driver was texting, failed to yield, opened a door in your path, or simply wasn’t paying attention, we’ll get to the bottom of what happened and fight for your recovery.

Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian accidents are some of the most devastating cases we handle. When a person is hit by a car, the results can be catastrophic—especially in busy areas like Las Olas, downtown Fort Lauderdale, or residential neighborhoods with limited visibility. If you were injured while crossing the street, walking in a crosswalk, or standing near traffic, our team will help you pursue a personal injury claim against the driver who hit you. Florida law protects pedestrians, but insurance companies often try to shift blame or delay payment. We step in immediately to preserve evidence, speak to witnesses, and make sure your side of the story is heard. If you lost a loved one in a fatal pedestrian accident, we can also help with wrongful death claims.
