Sunrise Personal Injury Lawyer
More Than 40 Years of Personal Injury Experience for Sunrise Clients
An injury can leave you managing medical treatment, missed income, property damage, and calls from insurance companies at the same time. Our personal injury attorneys serve Sunrise residents who need clear answers about their legal options without traveling to our Coral Springs office. Founding attorney Dan Cytryn has led more than 100 jury trials and handled almost 40 appeals.
During an initial review, we consider how the incident happened, what evidence is available, the medical treatment received, applicable insurance coverage, and the losses connected to the injury. Our firm, Law Offices Cytryn & Velazquez, P.A., can then explain the potential paths forward based on the circumstances of the claim.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle for Sunrise Clients
We represent people injured by negligence. Each review focuses on the evidence, responsible parties, insurance coverage, and harm involved in that specific case.
Our firm handles the following personal injury cases:
- Car accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Sunrise boating accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Nursing home abuse
- Slip and fall accidents
- Product liability
- Wrongful death
Whether the injury resulted from a collision, a fall at a business, abuse in a care facility, or a fatal act of negligence, our injury lawyers can evaluate the available evidence and applicable Florida law.
Compensation Available After an Accident
After an injury, you can pursue compensation for losses that directly resulted from the accident. The available damages and their value depend on factors such as responsibility, insurance coverage, medical evidence, and the injury’s effect on your work and daily activities.
A personal injury claim may include:
- Medical costs: Past treatment expenses and supported future treatment needs connected to the injury.
- Lost wages: Income lost during recovery and documented limitations affecting future work.
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain and the injury’s effects on ordinary activities.
- Property damage: Repair or replacement costs resulting from the incident.
Our team helps clients identify which damages apply and how to support their claims. Medical records, bills, employment documents, photographs, repair estimates, and other records can help establish the extent of a loss. We also evaluate supported long-term effects on daily life and employment.
Trial Experience in Serious Personal Injury Cases
Dan Cytryn has more than four decades of personal injury experience and is a board-certified civil trial lawyer. Board certification is a Florida Bar credential in a defined area of law. Our firm has also had more than 30 cases settle or result in jury verdicts of $1 million or more, although past results don’t guarantee the outcome of another case.
A $1.85 Million Trial Award
We handled a car accident case that wasn’t in Sunrise but went to trial in South Florida. Our client was asleep in the passenger seat when the driver lost control during a storm, crossed the median, and collided with a dump truck traveling in the opposite direction.
As a result, our client suffered a fractured spine that required surgery and permanent moderate brain injuries. The best offer before trial was $1 million, but it came only shortly before trial, after the insurance company had rejected a $100,000 policy-limits offer. After the trial, the court awarded $1.85 million, and the insurance company paid the full amount due.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Florida?
Florida generally provides two years to file an action founded on negligence under section 95.11 of the Florida Statutes. The applicable deadline can differ based on the type of claim, the defendant, and other facts. Because exceptions and claim-specific rules apply, a consultation is necessary to assess the deadline for a particular case.
What Should I Bring to My First Consultation?
You should bring any accident reports, medical records, photos of injuries or the scene, and information on lost work or expenses. Witness details, insurance correspondence, repair estimates, and other documents related to the incident can also help provide a fuller picture during the initial review.
Can I Still Recover Damages If I Was Partly at Fault for the Accident?
Florida follows a modified comparative-fault rule for covered negligence actions. Your damages can be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If you’re found greater than 50 percent at fault for your own harm, you generally can’t recover damages under this rule. Medical-negligence claims have a statutory exception, and the application of comparative fault depends on the claim.
