A four-square-mile city located at the junction of Oakland Park Boulevard and State Road 7, Lauderdale Lakes’ motto, “The Heart of Broward County,” reflects both its attitude, and its geography. Incorporated in 1961, the city grew from a rural beginning into a modern community with a diverse population of 32,000 residents. Lauderdale Lakes is focused on business development and economic growth, and its proximity to Fort Lauderdale, Tamarac, Oakland Park, and Lauderhill make it a convenient choice for commuters.
While Lauderdale Lakes aims to attract commerce, it still offers its citizens an attractive smaller-city lifestyle. At Freeman Injury Law, our Lauderdale Lakes personal injury and car accident attorneys are pleased to be a leading choice of local residents who need the strength of experienced accident lawyers on their side.

The Lauderdale Lakes car accident attorneys at our firm know that your life can change in a moment when you’re seriously hurt in a traffic crash. High-speed collisions can leave victims with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple broken bones, organ damage, deep cuts that can lead to severe scarring, and a host of other possible wounds. Such serious injuries can leave you with long-term – often permanent – medical needs. The costs of accidents can be staggering.
