Pembroke Pines is one of the largest and fastest-growing cities in Broward County. Its growth has brought busier streets, more commuters and heavier traffic. Major roadways such as Pines Boulevard, Flamingo Road and I-75 carry constant traffic between neighborhoods, shopping centers and schools.
Crashes are common across the state. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, over 238,000 people were injured in automobile accidents in Florida in 2025. Many of these victims face serious injuries, growing financial pressure and long-term physical and emotional effects.
Why Do Car Accidents Happen in Pembroke Pines?
Most Pembroke Pines car accidents are caused by heavy congestion, high highway speeds, distraction and impairment. Some of the busiest traffic in Broward runs through the city.
- Pines Boulevard and Flamingo congestion. Frequent stop-and-go traffic on Pines Boulevard and Flamingo Road leads to rear-end collisions.
- I-75 and Turnpike traffic. High speeds on I-75 and Florida’s Turnpike increase the risk of serious or fatal crashes.
- Distracted driving. Texting, GPS use and other distractions play a role in many collisions.
- Tourist and visitor traffic. Nearby attractions, malls and the city’s proximity to Miami bring unfamiliar drivers into the area.
- Drunk or impaired driving. Impaired drivers are a particular danger late at night near entertainment areas.
What Types of Car Accident Cases Happen in Pembroke Pines?
Car accident claims in Pembroke Pines often involve rear-end, side-impact, multi-car and hit-and-run crashes. Each type can raise different questions about fault and insurance coverage.
- Rear-end collisions at intersections and on major roadways, which our Broward County rear-end collision lawyers handle
- Side-impact or T-bone accidents at busy crossroads like Pines & University
- Multi-car crashes on I-75 and Turnpike interchanges
- Hit-and-run accidents in neighborhoods and commercial areas
- Rollover accidents on highways
- Drunk or impaired driving crashes
- Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) accidents in residential and shopping areas
Hit-and-run crashes are a statewide problem. In 2025, there were over 92,000 hit and run crashes in Florida. If the at-fault driver is never found, your own insurance coverage may become important to your recovery.
What Injuries Can a Pembroke Pines Car Accident Cause?
Car crashes in Pembroke Pines can cause injuries ranging from fractures to brain and spinal cord damage, and some are fatal. Serious injuries often require long-term care and can affect a person’s ability to work.
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Amputations and crush injuries
- Organ damage and internal bleeding
- Multiple fractures
- Emotional trauma and PTSD
In fatal accidents, families may pursue a wrongful death claim after a Florida car accident. These claims can seek compensation related to funeral expenses, loss of financial support and emotional suffering.
How Does Florida Law Affect a Pembroke Pines Car Accident Claim?
Florida is a no-fault state, so your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage usually pays first. You may be able to step outside the no-fault system and bring a claim against the at-fault driver if your injuries are serious enough.
- No-fault insurance (PIP). Florida requires drivers to carry PIP, which covers some expenses regardless of fault under Florida Statute §627.736. To use PIP benefits, you generally must get initial medical treatment within 14 days of the crash.
- Serious injury threshold. Victims with permanent injuries, significant scarring or death may pursue claims outside the no-fault system under Florida Statute §627.737.
- Comparative fault. Under Florida Statute §768.81, your compensation may be reduced by your share of fault, and a person found more than 50 percent at fault generally cannot recover.
- Statute of limitations. Most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash under Florida Statute §95.11.
Who May Be Held Liable for a Car Accident in Pembroke Pines?
The negligent driver is often responsible, but other people and companies may share liability. Identifying every responsible party can affect how much insurance coverage is available.
- Negligent drivers who were distracted, speeding or impaired
- Employers of commercial drivers
- Bars or restaurants under Florida’s Dram Shop Law, which our drunk driving victim attorneys can explain
- Rideshare companies (Uber/Lyft) in certain situations
- Vehicle or part manufacturers, in vehicle defect cases involving brakes, airbags or tires
What Compensation May Be Available to Victims and Families?
Injured people and families may be able to recover both financial losses and non-financial harms. The damages available depend on the facts of the crash and the severity of the injuries.
- Medical bills, including emergency care, rehab and long-term treatment
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering, discussed in our guide to pain and suffering damages in Florida
- Emotional distress
- Funeral and burial expenses (wrongful death)
- Loss of companionship and parental guidance
- Net accumulations (future income the deceased would have left to heirs)
You can learn more about the losses victims may claim in our article on Pembroke Pines car accident damages.
How Do You File a Personal Injury Claim in Broward County?
A Broward County car accident claim usually starts with medical care and an insurance claim, and it may move to a lawsuit if the claim does not resolve. These steps can help protect your rights.
- Get medical care quickly. See a doctor as soon as possible, and within 14 days to protect your PIP benefits.
- Report the crash. Call the police so an official crash report is made.
- Gather evidence. Take photos, get witness names and keep all medical records and bills.
- Notify your insurer. Report the crash to your own insurance company and file your PIP claim.
- Talk to a lawyer. Get advice before giving recorded statements to the other driver’s insurer.
- Pursue the claim. Your lawyer may negotiate with insurers or file a lawsuit in Broward County Circuit Court before the deadline.
Is It Worth Hiring a Lawyer for a Small Personal Injury Claim in Broward County?
It may be worth speaking with a lawyer even if your claim seems small, because some injuries turn out to be more serious than they first appear. A free consultation can help you understand whether your case may qualify for more than PIP benefits.
Insurance companies may offer quick, low settlements before the full cost of treatment is known. Because the Law Offices of Jason Turchin works on a contingency fee basis, you can get advice without paying upfront.
