Personal Injury Cases We Handle in the Boca Raton Area
Car Accidents
Boca Raton’s dense traffic — on US-1, I-95, Glades Road, Palmetto Park Road, and the Turnpike — produces a significant volume of car accident claims. We represent victims of rear-end collisions, intersection accidents, highway accidents, and multi-vehicle crashes throughout Boca Raton and the surrounding communities.
Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accidents
The I-95 and Florida Turnpike corridors through South Palm Beach County are major commercial freight routes. Accidents involving tractor-trailers, delivery vehicles, and other commercial trucks often involve multiple layers of liability — the driver, the trucking company, and potentially the vehicle manufacturer or cargo loader. We handle the full complexity of commercial vehicle accident claims.
Slip and Fall / Premises Liability
Boca Raton’s high density of retail centers, restaurants, hotels, and residential communities creates significant premises liability exposure. Slip and falls, negligent security, swimming pool accidents, and other premises liability incidents are among our most common case types in South Palm Beach County.
Wrongful Death
When an accident in Boca Raton or South Palm Beach County claims a life, the surviving family members have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim for both economic and non-economic damages. Cameron Barnard has handled complex wrongful death cases throughout his career and brings deep experience to these most serious of personal injury matters.
Defective Products
Products liability claims arising from defective vehicles, medical devices, consumer products, and other dangerous goods are handled by our firm throughout Palm Beach County, including Boca Raton and the southern communities.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Boca Raton’s cycling and pedestrian communities face real dangers on Federal Highway, Palmetto Park Road, and the downtown Boca Raton corridor. We represent cyclists and pedestrians struck by vehicles throughout South Palm Beach County.
Why Howard M. Hughes’ Background Matters for Boca Raton Cases
Howard M. Hughes graduated from Nova Southeastern University Law School with High Honors in 1995 and has been a member of the Florida Bar since that year. Before law school, he spent years as an All-Lines insurance adjuster and in claims management — giving him an insider’s perspective on exactly how insurance companies evaluate personal injury claims. He uses that perspective to anticipate and counter the strategies insurance adjusters use to minimize compensation for injury victims.
Cameron Barnard began his career defending hospitals, doctors, and insurance companies before devoting his practice to representing victims. He has personally recovered in excess of twenty million dollars for injury clients in catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and nursing home abuse cases. Together, their experience on both sides of personal injury litigation is among the most comprehensive available in South Florida.

Frequently Asked Questions: Personal Injury in Boca Raton
Do I need to come to your Jupiter office to hire your firm?
No. We handle initial consultations by phone, video, and in some cases in-person meetings at a location convenient to you. For Boca Raton area clients, we work to accommodate your schedule and location throughout the representation.
How long will my personal injury case take?
Timeline varies based on injury severity, liability clarity, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Most personal injury cases in Palm Beach County resolve within 6 to 24 months. Cases involving catastrophic injuries with significant long-term medical implications may take longer to properly document and maximize. We never pressure clients to accept inadequate settlements to close a case quickly.
What if my accident was partially my fault?
Under Florida’s modified comparative negligence law (effective March 2023), you can still recover damages if you were 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. A free consultation allows us to evaluate the fault picture in your specific case and advise you on your recovery prospects.
