Boca Raton Personal Injury Attorney

Suffering a personal injury can be life-altering. Medical bills pile up, lost wages create financial stress, and dealing with insurance companies can feel overwhelming. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you need an experienced Boca Raton personal injury attorney who will fight for every dollar you deserve.

At Lyons & Snyder, we provide dedicated legal representation to individuals injured in accidents across South Florida. Unlike larger firms where clients often feel like just another case number, we take a personal approach to every case. Our principal partners, Marc P. Lyons and Philip M. Snyder, work directly with every client to ensure they receive the highest level of attention and advocacy.

Understanding Personal Injury Claims in Boca Raton

Personal injury law protects individuals who have been hurt due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. If you’ve suffered injuries, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Our firm handles a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

Car Accidents

South Florida’s roads can be dangerous. Car accidents caused by reckless, distracted, or impaired drivers can leave victims with serious injuries. Common injuries from car accidents include:

  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Broken bones
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Internal organ damage

If you’ve been in a crash, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately and consult an attorney before speaking with insurance companies. Insurers often try to minimize settlements, but our attorneys know how to negotiate aggressively to maximize your compensation.

Truck Accidents

Collisions involving commercial trucks are particularly severe due to their size and weight. These accidents often result in catastrophic injuries or fatalities. Trucking companies and their insurers have legal teams ready to defend their interests, which is why you need an experienced attorney to stand up for yours.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe premises. If you slipped and fell due to hazardous conditions—such as wet floors, uneven sidewalks, or poor lighting—you may have a valid premises liability claim. Our team will investigate whether the property owner failed to address known hazards and fight to recover compensation for your injuries.

Medical Malpractice

Doctors, nurses, and hospitals have a duty to provide competent medical care. When they fail in this duty, whether through surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, or birth injuries—patients suffer serious harm. Medical malpractice cases require in-depth investigation and expert testimony, and our firm has the resources to hold negligent healthcare providers accountable.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to negligence is devastating. Whether the loss was caused by a fatal car accident, workplace injury, or medical error, surviving family members have the right to pursue compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering. While no amount of money can replace your loved one, seeking justice can provide financial stability and hold responsible parties accountable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?

Florida law generally allows four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, exceptions exist, so it’s important to consult an attorney as soon as possible.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

How long does a personal injury case take?

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case. Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take longer if litigation is necessary.
