A Personal Injury, Workers' Compensation and Defense Base Act Law Firm Fighting for the Injured.

Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury & Workers' Compensation Attorneys

Have You Been Injured? Attorneys Jo Ann Hoffman & Associates, P.A. is a highly experienced law firm in Workers’ Compensation, Personal Injury and Defense Base Act cases. We represent injured people and fight on their behalf to get them the payments and benefits they are entitled to for their medical expenses, lost wages, and suffering as a result of their accident. Since our law firm was established in 1984 we have resolved more than 25,000 injury cases and our attorneys have over 50 years of combined legal experience in these practice areas. We offer a free initial consultation to explain what we can do to help you.

No one is prepared to have an accident. It often feels overwhelming for a newly injured person and their family. Our experienced team of injury attorneys and paralegals puts those worries to rest. Our firm ensures our clients understand their rights and how their case will proceed. We work together with you to ensure the best possible result for your case and - most importantly - for your health.

Choosing an injury firm means choosing who to trust with your health and medical care. Although we practice Workers' Compensation throughout Florida, Personal Injury and Auto Accidents nation-wide, and Defense Base Act worldwide, many clients choose Attorneys Jo Ann Hoffman & Associates, P.A. because of our location in South Florida and our familiarity with the best medical resources available throughout Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.

Our clients can feel confident that their case AND health will have the best possible result in the hands of our firm. We are confident in our results, too, which is why we work on a contingent fee basis for most cases. A contingency fee means if we win you a settlement then we get paid a percentage of the settlement for our services, but if we don’t win you a settlement then our firm doesn’t get anything and you don’t owe us anything for our services.

To learn more about our contingency fee program, find out if you have a case, or answer any other questions you have we offer a FREE and CONFIDENTIAL consultation – just give us a call at 1-800-273-5297 during our business hours or fill out the online Free Consultation Online Form for a call back the next business day. A consultation is an opportunity for you to ask us about your specific situation and we will explain what we can do to help – there is no obligation afterwards to hire us or file a claim, but some benefits you are entitled to may have time limitations to claim so we do recommend contacting us today.

We are also available for in-person meetings at our main office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Mondays – Fridays from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, and after-hours or off-site appointments at times convenient for you. At Attorneys Jo Ann Hoffman & Associates, P.A. our clients come first, and we believe their lives should never be disrupted, which is why we offer house calls - that's right, our representatives come to you to discuss your case! We care, and it shows.
