The Sawgrass Corridor

Sunrise sits at a convergence of high-volume roadway: the Sawgrass Expressway, I-75 and Alligator Alley, and Sunrise Boulevard running east toward Fort Lauderdale. Crashes on limited-access segments occur at highway speed and produce catastrophic injuries. The surface streets feeding the retail district have a different problem, which is sheer volume of turning movements and unfamiliar drivers navigating to parking. Interchange and ramp collisions frequently involve disputed lane position, and the useful evidence is often roadway camera footage and vehicle event data rather than witness memory.

Large Venue and Retail Premises Claims

Sawgrass Mills is one of the largest retail centers in the country and the arena hosts events drawing tens of thousands of people. Injuries at venues of that scale involve a layered set of potentially responsible parties: the property owner, the operating company, the tenant, a security contractor, a crowd management vendor, or a concessionaire. Parking structure incidents add lighting and design questions. In large-venue premises cases the practical fight is usually about notice and about which of several corporate entities actually controlled the space where you were hurt.

Filing a Sunrise Claim

Sunrise injury suits are filed in Broward County’s Seventeenth Judicial Circuit at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale. Trauma patients from the western Broward highway corridors are generally taken to Broward Health Medical Center. Because so much of Sunrise’s crash volume happens on state-maintained expressway, roadway design and maintenance claims here can involve the Florida Department of Transportation or the expressway authority, which triggers the sovereign immunity notice requirements and damage caps.

Sunrise Injury Claims: Common Questions

I was injured at Sawgrass Mills. Who do I bring a claim against?
That depends on exactly where it happened. A fall inside a store usually implicates the tenant; a fall in a common area or parking structure usually implicates the mall owner or its management company; an assault may implicate a security contractor. Determining which entity controlled the space is the first step, and incident reports and surveillance footage held by the property are the evidence that settles it.
I crashed on the Sawgrass Expressway. Does that change anything?
It can. Highway-speed collisions generally produce more serious injuries and more disputed liability, and vehicle event data recorders often become important. If a roadway defect or a maintenance failure contributed, a claim against a governmental or expressway authority may be involved, which carries written notice requirements and statutory damage caps.
What does it cost to hire Templer & Hirsch for a Sunrise case?
Nothing up front. We handle injury cases on contingency, meaning our fee comes out of a recovery and there is no fee if there is no recovery. The initial consultation is free.
