How Common Are Car Accidents in Boynton Beach?
Car accidents are a daily reality in Boynton Beach and across Palm Beach County. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reports that the county records well over 25,000 traffic crashes in a typical year, which works out to dozens of collisions every single day.
The harm runs deep. According to the University of Florida's Signal Four Analytics, crashes in Palm Beach County cause hundreds of severe injuries and fatalities each year, and intersections have been the most common site of crash injuries and deaths in the county for six years running.
Walkers and cyclists face real danger too. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office reported that in one year, pedestrians and bicyclists were involved in more than 1,700 collisions countywide, resulting in 141 serious injuries and 59 deaths, which placed the county sixth in the state for these injuries.
Boynton Beach sits right in the middle of this pattern. Our stretch of the I-95 corridor draws heavy commuter, tourist, and commercial traffic near the shopping centers along Congress Avenue and the beaches off Federal Highway, and locally recognized trouble spots like Boynton Beach Boulevard at Congress Avenue see crashes again and again. Behind every one of those numbers is a person whose life changed in an instant, and that is exactly who we are here to help.
Where Do the Most Car Accidents Happen in Boynton Beach?
Most serious Boynton Beach crashes cluster on a handful of high-traffic corridors, and several of them run right past our front door. Knowing these hot spots can help you drive defensively and understand how your own collision may have happened.
Based on the cases we see, these are the local roads where crashes happen most often:
- Congress Avenue: the city's main commercial corridor, where heavy turning traffic near shopping centers leads to frequent intersection and left-turn crashes.
- Woolbright Road: our own street, a major east-west connector with constant residential and commercial cross traffic.
- Boynton Beach Boulevard (SR-804): the link between downtown and the I-95 interchange, prone to peak-hour rear-end collisions.
- I-95 at Boynton Beach Boulevard: one of Palm Beach County's most congested interchanges, where sudden slowdowns trigger chain-reaction wrecks.
- Federal Highway (US-1): a busy urban corridor with heavy foot traffic near shops and restaurants, raising the risk of pedestrian collisions.
- Gateway Boulevard: a suburban arterial toward Delray Beach known for rear-end crashes during commuter hours.
If your crash happened on any of these roads, we can help you reconstruct what went wrong and identify who should be held accountable. We know where the traffic cameras sit, how these intersections are timed, and which conditions insurers try to blame on drivers, and we use that knowledge to protect your claim.
Types of Car Accidents Our Boynton Beach Attorneys Handle
Our Boynton Beach car accident lawyers handle the full range of collisions that occur on local roads. The cause of your crash shapes the evidence we gather and the parties we hold responsible.
We regularly represent people injured in:
- Rear-end collisions, often from distracted or tailgating drivers on Gateway Boulevard and Boynton Beach Boulevard.
- Commercial truck crashes along the I-95 corridor, where a large truck's size can cause devastating injuries.
- Distracted driving crashes tied to texting, phone use, and other roadway distractions.
- Impaired driving crashes, including those near the restaurants and nightlife along Federal Highway.
- Pedestrian collisions in and around downtown, where walkers and drivers share tight, busy streets.
Whatever type of crash you experienced, we build your case around the facts and the Florida laws that apply to it. We gather the police report, medical records, and any available video, then work to connect your injuries clearly to the crash so the insurance company cannot brush them aside.
What Is Florida's No-Fault Law and the 14-Day PIP Rule?
Florida is a no-fault state, which means your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays first after a crash, no matter who caused it. Under Florida Statute 627.736, every driver must carry at least $10,000 in PIP benefits.
To use that coverage, you must see a qualifying medical provider within 14 days of the crash. Miss that window, and you can lose your PIP benefits entirely, so prompt medical care protects both your health and your claim.
Two more recent changes matter a great deal. A 2023 law known as HB 837 shortened the deadline to file most injury lawsuits to two years from the date of the crash under Florida Statute 95.11.
That same law created a modified comparative fault rule under Florida Statute 768.81. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages, and a smaller share of fault simply reduces your recovery.
In serious cases, Florida law may also let you pursue a claim directly against the at-fault driver, beyond your own PIP coverage. That path can open the door to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and the pain your injuries have caused.
Every case is different, and none of this is legal advice about your specific situation. Because these rules are strict and time-sensitive, talking with a lawyer early helps protect your rights, and we can explain how each one applies to your case without the legal jargon.

Where Will Your Boynton Beach Car Accident Case Be Heard?
Most Boynton Beach car accident cases fall under Palm Beach County's 15th Judicial Circuit Court. If your claim becomes a lawsuit, it would likely be filed at the main courthouse in West Palm Beach.
That courthouse, the Judge Daniel T.K. Hurley Courthouse, sits at 205 N. Dixie Highway, a short drive north on I-95 from Boynton Beach. Understanding the local court system is part of building a strong claim, and it is a system our attorneys work in regularly.
Our familiarity with Palm Beach County judges, local procedures, and the insurers who operate here gives your case steady footing from the start. We prepare every claim as if it may go to trial, even though many resolve through a fair settlement. Insurers tend to take a local firm that is ready to file suit more seriously, and that readiness often works in your favor at the negotiating table.
FAQs Answered by a Boynton Beach Car Accident Attorney
Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often from injured drivers in Boynton Beach.
Where is Frankl Kominsky located in Boynton Beach?
Our Boynton Beach headquarters is at 2240 Woolbright Road, Suite 201, Boynton Beach, FL 33426. This is our home office, and you are welcome to walk in or schedule a same-day appointment. You can reach us any time at 561-800-8000.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Florida?
For most crashes on or after March 24, 2023, Florida law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit, under the changes made by HB 837. Some claims involve different deadlines, so it is wise to speak with a lawyer well before that window closes. We can review the dates that apply to your specific case.
What if the other driver was uninsured?
If the at-fault driver had no insurance, your own uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may pay for your injuries. This coverage is optional in Florida, but many drivers carry it, and claims based on it generally follow a longer, five-year deadline because they arise from your insurance contract. We can check your policy and explain what protection you have.
What does a Boynton Beach car accident lawyer cost?
There is no upfront cost to hire our Boynton Beach car accident lawyers. We work on a contingency fee, which means you pay nothing unless we recover money for you, and your initial consultation is always free.
Do I have to go to court for my car accident claim?
Not usually. Many Florida car accident claims settle without a trial, through negotiation with the insurance company. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are prepared to take your case to court in Palm Beach County.
What should I do if the insurance company already contacted me?
It is best to say as little as possible before you talk to a lawyer. Insurance companies train their adjusters to protect their own bottom line, and an early recorded statement or quick settlement offer is often designed to pay you far less than your claim is worth. Let us deal with the insurer directly so they cannot use your words against you while you focus on healing.
Can I still recover money if I was partly at fault?
Possibly. Under Florida's modified comparative fault rule, you may still recover damages as long as you were not more than 50% responsible for the crash. Your recovery would be reduced by your share of fault, so it helps to have a lawyer document what really happened.
