PETER J. PORCARO

Peter Porcaro has represented injured clients and grieving families throughout Palm Beach County for over 20 years. He built Porcaro Injury Law around one principle: you deserve direct access to your attorney — not a case manager who reads from a file.

 

Peter handles personal injury exclusively — car accidents, wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, slip and falls, and the full range of negligence claims. He has practiced in the Delray Beach community for over 15 years, knows the Palm Beach County courts, and has recovered six-figure and seven-figure results for clients across the county.”

 

Why Choose Porcaro Injury Law as Your Delray Beach Personal Injury Lawyer

Most personal injury firms in Delray Beach are built for volume. They take every case, settle fast, and move on. That model works for minor fender-benders. It fails people with serious injuries who need real representation. I built Porcaro Injury Law differently. I take fewer cases, prepare every one as if it’s going to trial, and I’m the attorney you talk to from the first call to the final resolution.

 

  • Direct attorney access. You work with Peter Porcaro — not a paralegal, not a rotating staff of associates.
  • Trial-ready preparation. I prepare every file as if a Palm Beach County jury will see it — that’s why insurers take my demands seriously.
  • Personal injury is all I do. No criminal defense, no family law. That focus produces better outcomes.
  • Deep local knowledge. Over 20 years in Palm Beach County — the courts, the judges, how local insurers negotiate, and the roads where serious accidents happen.
  • No fees unless we win. I advance all case costs. You owe nothing unless I recover compensation for you.

Personal Injury Cases I Handle in Delray Beach and Palm Beach County.

We represent injured clients and families throughout Delray Beach and Palm Beach County. Whether your case involves a car crash, a fall, a dangerous product, or a catastrophic injury, our standard is the same: investigate fully, negotiate hard, and go to trial when insurers won’t be reasonable.

Car, Motorcycle & Bicycle Accidents.

Heavy traffic on I-95, West Atlantic Avenue, and Federal Highway causes serious collisions every day. When injuries are significant, you may be entitled to compensation beyond Florida’s no-fault system. See our car accident practice

Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents.

Tractor-trailer crashes on I-95 often cause traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and wrongful death. Multiple parties may share liability. See our truck accident practice.

Slip and Fall & Premises Liability.

Restaurants, hotels, and retail stores must maintain safe premises. When negligent conditions cause falls, we hold property owners accountable. See our slip and fall practice.

Wrongful Death.

Florida’s Wrongful Death Act allows family members to pursue compensation for lost income, lost financial support, and loss of companionship. See our wrongful death practice.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect.

We represent families whose loved ones suffered neglect or abuse in care facilities throughout Palm Beach County. See our nursing home practice.

Medical Malpractice.

Surgical errors, misdiagnosis, and birth injuries caused by healthcare provider negligence may entitle you to significant compensation. See our medical malpractice practice.

Boating & Waterfront Injuries.

The Intracoastal Waterway and South Florida coast create unique accident risks — some involving federal maritime law and short deadlines. See our boat accident practice.

Not sure if your situation qualifies? Call (561) 450-9355 for a free same-day review. I’ll give you an honest assessment — no pressure, no obligation.

Slip and fall and premises liability claims hinge on proving the property owner knew (or should have known) about a hazard and failed to fix it. Florida’s comparative negligence rules and tight evidence timelines make early legal help critical.

Florida Personal Injury Law — Key Rules for Delray Beach Residents

Statute of Limitations — TWO YEARS

Florida gives you two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline forfeits your right to compensation regardless of how clear the other party’s fault is. Evidence disappears within weeks — don’t wait.

If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover compensation. Otherwise your damages are reduced by your fault percentage. Insurers routinely inflate your share of fault to pay less — we push back with physical evidence and expert testimony.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

  • Medical expenses — past and future treatment, surgery, rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium — impact on family relationships
  • Punitive damages — in cases of extreme recklessness or intentional misconduct

Florida Car Accident Insurance Claims Guide

Florida’s car accident insurance system is one of the most complex in the country — involving no-fault PIP coverage, comparative negligence rules, uninsured motorist claims, and filing deadlines that vary by case type. Most accident victims don’t know how these rules interact until it’s too late.

 

We built built the Florida Car Accident Insurance Claims Guide to be the definitive guide to help accident victims in Florida to navigate their car accident claim. From photos, phone numbers, injury and insurance, everything you need to understand car accident insurance claims is here .

How We Build Your Personal Injury Case

We guide clients from the first call through negotiation and, when necessary, trial — preparing every case as if it will go before a Palm Beach County jury.

01 .

Investigation

I collect police reports, 911 recordings, surveillance footage, vehicle black box data, and witness statements; I work with accident reconstruction experts and treating physicians to build your evidentiary foundation before insurers can dispute it.

02 .

Negotiation

I prepare a demand package with medical records, bills, and expert opinions, then handle all communications with insurance adjusters. I counter lowball offers and fault-inflation tactics. You approve any settlement before I accept it.

03 .

Litigation When Needed

Insurance companies know which attorneys will take a case to trial and which won’t. I prepare every file as if it’s going before a Palm Beach County jury. That preparation is why insurers take my demands seriously — and why I’ve secured six- and seven-figure results when they don’t.

Compensation Available in a Florida Personal Injury Case

Florida personal injury law allows you to recover economic damages — past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity — and non-economic damages including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving extreme recklessness, punitive damages may also be available. We document every category of loss carefully, working with medical and financial experts to support the full value of your claim.

Serving Delray Beach and All of Palm Beach County

Porcaro Injury Law is based in Delray Beach, and I’ve practiced in this community for over 15 years. I know the roads where serious accidents happen — I-95 through the Linton and Atlantic Avenue interchanges, Federal Highway through downtown Delray Beach, Military Trail, Congress Avenue, and the Intracoastal crossings. I know the Palm Beach County courthouse, the local judges, and how insurers in this market approach personal injury claims.

FAQs

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Delray Beach, FL?

Nothing upfront. Contingency fee; I only get paid if I recover for you.

Two years from the accident/injury (and from date of death for wrongful death). Waiting is a risk — evidence disappears.

It depends on injury severity, long-term needs, work impact, and liability strength. I give an honest assessment in our first conversation.

Yes. The adjuster works for the insurer. Talk to an attorney before any recorded statement.

Under modified comparative negligence you can recover if not more than 50% at fault; recovery is reduced by your fault share.”

Any injury from another’s negligence. Catastrophic injuries (TBI, spinal cord, amputation) tend to be higher-value.”

Your UM/UIM coverage may pay. These claims are often contested by your own insurer — I handle them

Almost never without legal review. First offers are typically far below full value. I evaluate the full picture, including future medical needs.
