From a crash on US-1 to a fall at the Isle Casino, a hurt day at the marinas, or a job-site injury on one of this city's many construction sites — when a Pompano Beach injury disrupts your life, you need a lawyer who knows these roads, these waters, and these courts. Robert DiStefano has handled Florida injury cases for more than 40 years, and our office is about 20 minutes south of the Pier.
A Pompano Beach personal injury lawyer who knows your side of the county
Pompano Beach is a beach, boating, and working city of about 110,000 residents — and the kinds of injuries that happen here are not the same as anywhere else in Broward.
When you hire a Pompano Beach personal injury lawyer, you want someone who already pictures the intersection where you were hit, knows which hospital took you in, and knows which courthouse your case is headed to. Our office at 7471 W Oakland Park Blvd sits about 12 miles — roughly 20 minutes — south of Pompano Beach, so we are close enough to be a real neighbor, not a downtown firm that has never driven Atlantic Boulevard at rush hour.
Most Pompano Beach injury cases are filed in the Florida courts that serve all of Broward County. That usually means the main Broward County Courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale or the North Regional Courthouse, depending on the type and size of the claim. We are in those buildings regularly, and that familiarity — with the local rules, the staff, and how cases actually move here — works in your favor from the first day.
For 40+ years, Robert DiStefano has built his practice around one promise: real attention from a seasoned Florida lawyer, not a case number passed down a hallway. You talk to the attorney handling your matter, and there is no fee unless we recover for you.
Local knowledge is not a slogan here. It is which road, which hospital, which courthouse — and we know all three.

US-1 (Federal Hwy) — heavy retail traffic, frequent rear-end and turning crashes

I-95 — merge and rush-hour collisions through the city
A1A — beachside traffic, cyclists, and pedestrians near the Pier
Local courts
Broward County Courthouse — the main civil courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale
North Regional Courthouse — serves the north end of the county where Pompano sits
Contingency intake — we handle the filing; you focus on healing
Landmarks & hotspots

What we see here
The accidents we handle in Pompano Beach
Because Pompano Beach mixes a busy shoreline, an active boating community, an airpark, and a large construction-trade workforce, the injuries here have a distinct shape.
US-1 and Atlantic Blvd corridor crashes. These two roads carry much of the city's traffic, and they produce a steady stream of rear-end, turning, and pedestrian collisions. If you were hurt on Federal Highway or heading to the beach on Atlantic, we know the corridor and how these crashes tend to unfold.
Premises and impaired-driver cases around the Isle Casino. Entertainment venues draw crowds and, sometimes, drivers who should not be behind the wheel. We handle slip-and-fall and other premises claims, as well as crashes caused by impaired drivers leaving the casino district. Our premises liability team knows how to hold a property owner accountable.
Boating and maritime injuries out of the Pompano marinas. With so many boats moving in and out of local waters, on-water collisions and dock injuries are part of life here. These cases involve rules most personal injury firms rarely touch — we treat them with the seriousness they deserve.
Small-aircraft cases at the Airpark. The Pompano Beach Airpark keeps general aviation busy over the city. Aviation injuries are complex and high-stakes, and they call for an experienced hand.
Construction-trade injuries. Pompano Beach is one of Broward's more industrial cities, and its construction and trade workforce faces real daily risk — falls, equipment injuries, and worse. We fight for injured workers and their families.
Pompano Beach is also home to a racially and economically diverse population, including a large Caribbean and Haitian community. We are proud to serve these communities and treat every client with the same respect and seniority of attention.
