An injury can happen anywhere: reaching for an item on a store shelf, walking through a parking lot after work, or sitting in a waiting room expecting care.

So you've been in a car accident. What happens next? There are many things that you should do but here are the three most important:
Number One: See a doctor immediately.
A broken bone is easy to see, but some injuries are not. The most common injuries from car accidents happen in the neck, back, or head. The only way to diagnose and treat them is by seeing a doctor. A doctor can help ease the pain, provide medication, reassure you of how your injury may impact your daily life, and tell you what not to do to make it worse.
A visit to the doctor can also give you legally protected time off to recover and rest your body after an accident, and it documents and provides the evidence you may need for your case. Even a five-mile-per-hour car accident can cause a serious injury. So whether you've had a severe accident or a minor collision, see a doctor. And if you don't have medical insurance, let us know and we'll make sure that you receive the proper care.
Number Two: Write everything down.
Even if it seems small, during times of stress or injury it is common to forget the little details. Make sure you keep note of the pain that you're in. With neck, back, and head injuries, sometimes simple activities such as walking up the stairs or picking up a toddler may cause severe pain.
You may not be sleeping well at night. Documenting how much you sleep and how often you wake up due to pain is also very important. And lastly, if you have any cuts or bruises, take daily photos as you heal. This will provide visual evidence of the injuries that you've suffered.
Number Three: Do not speak to an insurance company until you've spoken to a lawyer.
Please understand that the insurance adjuster works for a billion-dollar corporation and not for you. Their interests are solely for their insurance company, and their goal is to provide you with the least amount of financial settlement as quickly as possible. When you do speak with them, remember they will record the conversation. Why do they do this? Because they've been trained to ask questions that may confuse you. So talk to us before you talk to them.
So remember: See a doctor, document everything, and call us before calling the insurance company for your free private consultation. We are here for you. Real tough lawyers fighting real tough issues.

Every Case Is a Fight for Justice | Osborne & Francis
What You Can Recover After an Injury
Injuries affect your ability to work, care for your family, and maintain independence. Florida law recognizes these impacts and allows injury victims to seek compensation that addresses both financial losses and personal suffering.
Depending on your case, recoverable damages may include:
Medical expenses: Emergency treatment, hospital stays, surgeries, prescription medications, physical therapy, and future care needs
Lost earnings: Missed paychecks during recovery, reduced work capacity, or permanent inability to return to your previous job
Out-of-pocket costs: Medical equipment, home modifications for accessibility, transportation to appointments, or household help during recovery
Pain and suffering: Physical discomfort, emotional distress, loss of life enjoyment, or strained personal relationships
Consider this example: A Coral Springs resident slips on an unmarked wet floor at a grocery store, suffering a fractured hip. The injury requires an ER visit and surgery, but that's just the beginning.
Months of physical therapy follow. They can't drive themselves to appointments. They need in-home assistance. They can't work at their job. The injury also prevents them from playing with their grandchildren or participating in weekend activities they previously enjoyed.
These actual effects reach well past hospital invoices. When evaluating a claim, we account for how the injury has actually changed your daily life, not just what appears on medical bills.
A nationwide Martindale-Nolo study found that injury victims who hired attorneys received settlements averaging three times higher than those who handled claims independently. Professional legal representation creates measurable differences in case results.
After an accident, insurance companies often make quick settlement offers that fall short of what your case is truly worth. Before signing anything, speak with a Coral Springs personal injury lawyer who can evaluate your claim and pursue the full compensation you need for medical care, lost income, and recovery. Call (561) 293-2600 or send us a message to schedule your free case review.
Results That Reflect Our Commitment
The recoveries we've secured demonstrate our dedication to fighting for clients who deserve justice.
Negligent Security—$8 Million
Our firm represented a family whose teenage daughter was shot at an apartment complex with a documented history of violent crime. Despite repeated warnings and incidents, property management failed to implement adequate security measures. We held the owner accountable for this preventable tragedy.
Premises Liability— $900,000
A client suffered severe knee damage after slipping in a freshly mopped restroom that lacked warning signs or barriers. The injury required surgery, extensive rehabilitation, and resulted in permanent limitations. We proved the property owner's failure to maintain safe conditions directly caused these life-altering injuries.
Medical Malpractice—$1.2 Million
A patient experienced complications from a surgical error that required additional procedures and left them with chronic pain. We demonstrated how the healthcare provider's negligence deviated from accepted medical standards and pursued compensation that addressed both immediate and long-term impacts.
"Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case. The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say 'Real Tough Lawyers,' they mean it." — T. Andrews, Osborne & Francis Client
Time Limits for Filing Injury Claims in Florida
Florida law sets strict deadlines for personal injury claims. In most cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit.
Key Exceptions
Government entities: Written notice must be filed within six months, and overall deadlines are shorter.
Discovery rule: In certain medical malpractice cases, the two-year period starts when the injury is discovered or should have been discovered.
Wrongful death: The timeline begins on the date of death.
Minors: Some deadlines are extended for injured children.
Missing a filing deadline usually means losing the right to seek compensation, no matter how strong the case.
Tip: Consult a personal injury lawyer in Coral Springs as soon as possible. Evidence fades over time, and early legal advice helps preserve your claim and avoid costly mistakes.
How a Personal Injury Attorney Protects Your Case
After an injury, it’s natural to feel uncertain about what comes next. Questions about medical bills, insurance coverage, and legal rights often add stress to an already difficult recovery.
An experienced Coral Springs personal injury attorney helps by:
Investigating liability: Identifying how the injury occurred and who may be responsible.
Securing evidence: Collecting witness statements, reports, surveillance footage, and key documents before they are lost or altered.
Assessing damages: Working with medical providers to understand your injuries, estimate future care costs, and evaluate lost income and reduced quality of life.
Managing insurance communications: Dealing directly with insurance companies to protect you from tactics that reduce claim value.
Negotiating settlements: Pursuing compensation that reflects your actual losses, supported by detailed evidence and expert insight.
Preparing for litigation: Presenting a strong case in court if fair Coral Springs personal injury settlement is not possible.
Throughout the process, we maintain clear, consistent communication. You’ll receive timely updates, quick responses to your questions, and involvement in every major decision.
Insurance companies often begin with offers that undervalue your claim. Our Coral Springs personal injury lawyers respond with solid evidence, firm negotiation, and, when necessary, a strong presentation in court.
"We never back down or ease up until our clients receive the full amount they are due under the law." — Osborne & Francis
Steps to Protect Your Claim After an Injury
Your actions in the days and weeks following an injury can significantly affect your ability to recover compensation. Here's what to prioritize:
Seek immediate medical care. Your health comes first, and prompt treatment creates records linking your injuries to the incident. Delayed care gives insurance companies ammunition to argue your injuries weren't serious or weren't caused by their client's negligence.
Document everything. Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any hazards. Save receipts for all expenses, including medical bills, medications, transportation, lost wages. Keep a journal noting how the injury affects your daily activities, work, and relationships.
Report the incident. File an official report with the appropriate authority, such as property management for slip and falls, employers for workplace injuries, or police for criminal incidents like negligent security cases.
Consult a Coral Springs personal injury attorney quickly. Early legal guidance helps you avoid mistakes, preserves crucial evidence, and ensures you meet all deadlines.

Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Coral Springs Personal Injury FAQs
How much will it cost to hire your firm?
Nothing upfront. Personal injury cases are handled on contingency, meaning our fee comes from your settlement or verdict. If we don't win, you don't pay attorney fees.
What if I was partially at fault for my injury?
Florida follows a comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation even if you share some fault, but your award will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If you're found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages. A personal injury lawyer in Coral Springs can help minimize your assigned fault percentage.
How long will my case take?
Timelines vary based on injury severity, case facts, and whether settlement is reached or trial becomes necessary. Many cases settle within several months, while complex litigation may take longer. We'll provide clear expectations based on your specific situation.
Should I accept the insurance company's settlement offer?
Not without consulting a Coral Springs personal injury attorney first. Initial offers rarely reflect the full value of your claim. Insurance companies count on injured people accepting quick settlements before understanding the long-term impact of their injuries. Legal counsel can evaluate whether an offer is fair or whether you should pursue additional compensation.
