If you or someone you love has been hurt because of someone else’s negligence, finding the right personal injury lawyer in Delray Beach can make all the difference in your road to recovery. A serious accident can turn your world upside down in seconds. Whether it was a car crash caused by a distracted driver, a slip and fall at a local store, or another preventable event, the aftermath can be painful, confusing, and expensive. Victims are often left dealing with mounting hospital bills, time off work, and uncertainty about what comes next.
You deserve to know your rights and understand your options. You also deserve a legal team that will listen, act fast, and stand up to the insurance companies that may try to shortchange you. At Hersh Kirtman Injury Lawyers, we provide compassionate, experienced legal support to help you navigate this difficult time. Our mission is simple: to fight for the compensation you need — and deserve — so you can rebuild your life with confidence, security, and peace of mind.
Delray Beach is home to vibrant communities, bustling roads, and a lively tourism scene that keeps the city moving year-round. However, constant activity brings a greater risk of accidents and preventable injuries. Your day can change instantly if you’re involved in a car crash on Federal Highway, trip over unsafe conditions at a local restaurant, or are injured while visiting a beachfront business. These moments are unexpected and overwhelming, but you don’t have to face the consequences alone.
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct, Florida law may entitle you to seek compensation for the damages you’ve suffered. This can include:
Injuries can affect every part of your life — physically, financially, and emotionally. That’s why it’s so important to act quickly and strategically. We’re here to ensure you’re not left picking up the pieces yourself. We fight for every dollar you’re owed — so you can focus on healing and moving forward confidently.
We’re not a call center or a firm that pushes cases through a pipeline. We believe your story deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Our legal strategy is built around your specific needs, your goals, and the details that make your case unique. When you hire us, you’re not just hiring a law firm — you’re partnering with a team that is fully invested in your recovery and your future.
Here’s what truly sets us apart:
We treat every case like it matters — because, to you, it does. And to us, that means everything.
Car crashes are one of the most common causes of personal injuries in Delray Beach, affecting drivers, passengers, and even pedestrians daily. With a mix of local commuters and out-of-town visitors, the roads can become congested and unpredictable. From distracted driving on I-95 to rear-end collisions on Linton Boulevard, we’ve seen how quickly a routine trip can turn into a traumatic event.
These accidents can result in serious injuries such as whiplash, broken bones, head trauma, or even long-term disability. Beyond the physical toll, victims often face rising medical bills, time away from work, and endless communication with insurance adjusters. That’s where our legal team steps in. We handle every aspect of your case, from gathering accident reports to negotiating aggressively with insurers who try to downplay your injuries. We aim to secure the compensation you need for your recovery and hold negligent drivers fully accountable for the harm they’ve caused.
Motorcyclists face serious risks on Florida roads, where drivers often fail to see them, respect their space, or follow traffic laws. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injuries can be catastrophic due to the limited protection a rider has compared to those in larger vehicles. Broken bones, spinal cord trauma, traumatic brain injuries, and road rash are just a few of the severe injuries we frequently see in these cases.
Beyond the physical trauma, victims are often left with crushing medical bills, long rehabilitation periods, and the stress of dealing with insurance companies that may try to blame the rider or offer a low settlement. We understand the unique dynamics of motorcycle collisions — the physics involved, the common causes, and the biases that riders often face.
Our job is to cut through the noise, hold negligent drivers accountable, and make sure you get the full and fair compensation you deserve for every hardship you’ve endured.
Collisions involving large commercial trucks often result in some of the most severe injuries on the road due to their massive size and weight. In Delray Beach, truck accidents can happen on busy highways like I-95 or during local deliveries on residential streets. Whether it’s a jackknife accident, underride crash, or a rear-end collision with a semi-truck, these incidents are rarely minor—and the consequences can be life-altering.
Victims of truck accidents often suffer catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord damage, brain trauma, internal bleeding, or multiple fractures. These cases are especially complex because they may involve multiple liable parties, including the truck driver, trucking company, vehicle manufacturer, or cargo loaders. Our team conducts thorough investigations to uncover logbook violations, maintenance failures, driver fatigue, and other forms of negligence.
We are well-versed in both state and federal trucking regulations, and we leverage that knowledge to pursue full compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, and long-term rehabilitation needs. Our goal is to hold all responsible parties accountable and provide our clients with the support they need to rebuild after a devastating crash.
When a loved one loses their life because of another person’s negligence, carelessness, or intentional actions, the pain is immeasurable. Families are often left not only grieving but also facing financial burdens such as medical bills, funeral expenses, and the sudden loss of household income. In these tragic situations, Florida law provides a civil remedy known as a wrongful death claim.
Wrongful death cases can help surviving spouses, children, and other dependents pursue justice and secure compensation for their losses. This can include damages for emotional suffering, loss of companionship, future lost earnings, and more. According to Cornell Law School, these claims are separate from any criminal proceedings and can be brought even if the responsible party is not convicted of a crime. That means families still have a powerful legal option to hold wrongdoers accountable and obtain financial support after such a devastating loss.

Personal injuries vary in severity, but many have long-term consequences that impact your daily life. We commonly represent victims suffering from:
Even injuries that seem minor at first can worsen over time. That’s why getting legal support early is critical.
Time is critical after an accident. Following these steps helps protect your rights and your potential case:
The sooner we get involved, the better positioned we are to build a strong claim.
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, directly impacting how compensation is awarded in a personal injury claim. Under this rule, any financial recovery you receive will be reduced based on your share of fault in the incident. For example, if you’re determined to be 30% responsible for the accident, your total compensation would be reduced by that percentage. Importantly, Florida law bars recovery entirely if you are found more than 50% at fault. This makes it essential to thoroughly investigate the facts and present strong evidence to minimize your assigned fault. Florida Statutes Section 768.81 states that this rule governs liability and underscores the importance of having an experienced attorney on your side. Our team is skilled in challenging unfair fault assessments and protecting your right to pursue the maximum compensation available under Florida law.
Under Florida Statutes Section 95.11, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to initiate a lawsuit based on negligence. This legal time limit, known as the statute of limitations, is strictly enforced in Florida civil courts. If you fail to file your claim within this timeframe, you may lose your right to pursue any financial compensation — regardless of the strength of your case or the extent of your injuries. That’s why it’s critical to act quickly after an accident and consult a qualified attorney who can assess your situation, gather necessary evidence, and ensure all paperwork is filed on time. Whether the injury stems from a car accident, slip and fall, or another form of negligence, the clock starts ticking when the incident occurs. Protect your legal rights, and don’t delay taking action.
Florida is a no-fault state regarding car accidents, which means that after a crash, your personal injury protection (PIP) insurance covers your initial medical bills and lost wages up to your policy limit, regardless of who was at fault. This system is designed to reduce delays in accessing medical treatment and to help keep minor claims out of the courts. However, this coverage is often limited and may not come close to covering the full cost of a serious injury.
If you’ve suffered injuries that meet Florida’s legal threshold for severity — such as permanent disability, significant disfigurement, or long-term impairment — you may have the right to step outside the no-fault system. This allows you to file a claim against the at-fault driver and pursue additional compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages not covered by PIP. Understanding when and how to transition is key to maximizing your recovery.
We do more than file paperwork. We step in and handle every legal detail so you can focus on getting better. Here’s how we support our clients:
