Types of Cases We Handle in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Attorney
One of Florida’s busiest cities, Fort Lauderdale has major highways, cruise ports, nightlife, and year-round tourism, which means serious accidents happen every day. Heavy traffic, construction zones, and aggressive driving patterns all create an environment where major crashes can happen in an instant.
If you’ve been injured in a crash along I-595 near Port Everglades, A1A along Fort Lauderdale Beach, Sunrise Boulevard and Broward Boulevard, or any of Broward County’s roads, we’re here to help.
That includes crashes involving commercial trucks, semi-trucks, motorcycles, delivery vehicles, rideshare accidents, and more.
Injured drivers are often left confused about how to navigate Florida’s personal injury protection (PIP) insurance rules and comparative fault laws. That uncertainty leads drivers to accept settlements and payouts that significantly undervalue the true worth of the injuries they’ve suffered.
Weisser Law not only understands those laws but also knows how insurance companies try to use them to pressure victims into unfair settlements. When you hire Weisser Law, you hire a team that won’t be bullied and will fight back against predatory insurance companies that were only interested in stopping you from being paid.
Fort Lauderdale Medical Malpractice Attorney
While home to several highly rated healthcare systems, medical centers across Fort Lauderdale still make mistakes. When those mistakes are severe enough, victims suffer injuries that completely change their lives and the lives of their families.
Weisser Law understands just how important it is for medical malpractice victims to receive compensation that not only helps them financially right now but also provides enough to care for them for as long as necessary.
If someone else’s mistake caused injury to you or a loved one, Weisser Law is here to work tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve. Our team of skilled attorneys has secured millions in damages in medical malpractice cases throughout Florida and in the Fort Lauderdale area.
Among the medical malpractice cases in Fort Lauderdale that we’ve handled are:
- Anesthesia errors
- Birth injuries
- Delayed or missed diagnosis
- Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)
- Jaundice
- Oxygen deprivation
- Surgical errors
These cases often involve strict pre-suit procedures and require an expert review of the facts. That’s where our experience and expertise make the difference for our clients.
Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Attorney
If you’ve been injured in a slip-and-fall accident, an unsafe working environment, or a similar incident of negligence, Weisser Law is here to help. Whether you know it or not, insurance companies begin preparing their case as soon as they know there’s a problem. They do so in hopes of stopping you from collecting the damages you’re entitled to.
When you hire Weiseer Law, our team gets started right away, working tirelessly to investigate every lead, preserve evidence, speak with every witness, gather expert opinion, and prove your case. Taking those steps is what allows us to pursue lifetime damages when your injury doesn’t heal properly.
We will handle all communication with the other side’s lawyers and prevent them from pressuring you into a settlement that undervalues you and the severity of your injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
In most cases, Florida allows a personal injury lawsuit to be filed within 2 years of the accident. Medical malpractice claims also generally have a two-year limitation period, but special rules apply. Contacting Weisser Law as soon as you realize something has gone wrong can help you avoid missing important deadlines in your case.
Do I have to go to court?
Many cases settle before trial. However, we prepare every case thoroughly in case litigation becomes necessary. Being ready for trial often increases settlement value.
How much does it cost to hire Weisser Law for cases in Fort Lauderdale?
We don’t accept any payment from our clients until we win your case. You won’t pay a dollar until the case is over and we’ve secured you the compensation you deserve.
How do I know if I was the victim of medical malpractice?
Not every bad outcome at a hospital means medical malpractice was committed. But that doesn’t mean your concerns about the treatment and care you received aren’t valid. If you suffered an injury or complication while under the care of a healthcare provider, you should absolutely call Weisser Law today.
We can’t promise you have a malpractice case, but we will work with you to review the facts, determine what went wrong, when it went wrong, and why.

We’d love to tell you exactly how much you can expect based on your injuries, but the reality is, each case has its own unique facts that shape how much compensation you can or should seek. While we can’t tell you immediately what your case is worth, contacting Weisser Law is your best chance to learn what damages you can realistically expect to receive.
