"We Take The Cases Other Firms Won't"
You didn’t ask for this. One moment you’re crossing Atlantic Avenue, running errands, driving to work — the next, you’re on the pavement, or in an ambulance, wondering how you’ll pay for any of this. I’m Peter Porcaro, and I fight for every dollar you’re owed.
No fees unless we win. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Why Delray Beach Chooses Porcaro Law
Most personal injury firms in South Florida operate like assembly lines — sign 100 cases, settle 95 fast, take a handful to trial. That model works for them. It doesn’t work for you. I take fewer cases, dig deeper, and prepare every file like it’s going to trial, because only 0.5% of Florida circuit civil cases are actually decided by a jury — which means insurance companies bet you’ll fold before trial. When they know you won’t, they settle for more.
You work directly with Peter Porcaro — never a paralegal or rotating case manager.
Every case is built as if it will go to trial, which is exactly why insurers settle seriously.
Millions recovered for clients hurt in car accidents, truck crashes, slip and falls, and rideshare collisions.
Contingency-based representation — I advance every cost, and you owe nothing if we don't recover for you.
What It Costs
I work on contingency — which means I only get paid if you do.
If we lose, you owe me nothing. I eat the costs.
The Data
Delray Beach is a Vision Zero city — but the data tells a harder story.
Serious/fatal ped & bike crashes, Q1 2023 (Palm Beach Co.)
Florida traffic fatalities, 2022
Serious injuries statewide, 2022
Negligence cases filed, 15th Circuit (last FY)
Our Process
Police reports, witness statements, scene photos, medical records — building a clear picture of who's responsible.
A demand letter laying out facts, law, and damages. I negotiate hard — and don't roll over.
Filing suit changes the game. Discovery, depositions, and expert witnesses when needed.
If the insurer won't offer fair value, I take your case in front of a jury.
Know Your Rights
Florida's statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. Government defendants and certain claim types carry shorter or different deadlines.
Florida's no-fault PIP system covers up to $10,000 in medical bills and lost wages — but House Bill 1181 repeals it effective July 1, 2026, shifting Florida to a fault-based system.
Roughly 15.9% of Florida drivers carry no insurance. Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage on your own policy is your best protection.
Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — but only if you're under 50% at fault. At 51% or more, you recover nothing.
Case Value
Florida law allows recovery of two types of damages:

Common Questions
Nothing upfront. I work on contingency — typically 33.3% if we settle before trial, 40% if we go to trial — and I advance every cost along the way. If we don’t win, you owe me nothing.
Florida’s statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Missing that deadline forfeits your right to sue, so it’s best to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible.
Yes. Adjusters call early to lock in a recorded statement or a quick lowball offer before you know the full extent of your injuries. I can speak with them on your behalf so you don’t say something that hurts your claim.
Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule reduces your compensation by your percentage of fault — but only if you’re under 50% at fault. I fight for the lowest possible fault allocation on your behalf.
Roughly 1 in 6 Florida drivers carries no insurance. If you have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM) coverage on your own policy, I can help you recover through that instead.
Almost never. First offers are typically far below what a claim is actually worth. Once you accept, you give up the right to ask for more — even if your medical bills or lost wages turn out higher than expected.
There’s no fixed formula — it depends on your medical costs, lost income, the severity and permanence of your injuries, available insurance coverage, and the strength of the evidence. I’ll give you an honest assessment after reviewing your case.
If you were hurt because someone else was negligent — a careless driver, a property owner, a manufacturer — you likely have a claim. Not every injury creates a viable case, which is why I offer a free, honest evaluation before you commit to anything.
