The moments after a car accident are chaotic. Pain. Confusion. Insurance adjusters calling before you've even left the hospital. Paperwork piling up. Bills arriving. Questions without answers.
You shouldn't have to navigate this alone.
Danielle Kushel handles auto accident cases throughout South Florida—from fender benders with lasting injuries to catastrophic collisions that change families forever. As a former prosecutor with 80+ jury trials, she brings the same preparation, strategy, and tenacity to every case.
Insurance companies know her reputation. They know she'll take cases to trial if that's what justice requires. That knowledge often leads to better settlements—without the courtroom.
But if trial is what your case needs, you want a lawyer who's been there hundreds of times before.
When a drunk driver injures you or your family, you may have claims beyond the standard insurance policy. Punitive damages. Dram shop liability. Danielle investigates every avenue to maximize your recovery.
When the at-fault driver flees, your case becomes more complex—but not hopeless. Uninsured motorist coverage, witness investigation, and scene forensics can still lead to recovery. Danielle has successfully handled numerous hit-and-run cases.
Getting hit by a car while walking, jogging, or crossing the street causes serious injuries. Pedestrians have virtually no protection. Danielle fights for pedestrian victims against drivers and their insurance companies.
Electric scooters and e-bikes are everywhere in South Florida. The laws around them are still evolving. When you're injured riding one, you need an attorney who understands both the legal landscape and the insurance coverage questions.
Cyclists have every right to the road. When drivers fail to share it safely, the injuries can be severe. Kushel Law Group represents cyclists hit by negligent drivers throughout South Florida.
Motorcyclists face bias—from insurance adjusters, from juries, even from police officers. Danielle knows how to counter that bias with evidence, expert testimony, and compelling presentation of your case.
Accidents involving semi-trucks, delivery vehicles, and commercial fleets are different. Multiple insurance policies. Federal regulations. Corporate defendants with deep resources. Danielle knows how to navigate the complexity and hold the right parties accountable.
The most common—but never routine. Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, highway accidents, parking lot incidents. When another driver's negligence injures you, Kushel Law Group fights for full compensation.
Danielle spent 9 years preparing cases for trial as a prosecutor. She applies that same rigor to every auto accident case—preserving evidence, interviewing witnesses, analyzing medical records, and building files that insurance companies take seriously.
Auto accident cases are really insurance cases. Understanding policy limits, coverage types, stacking options, and claims procedures is critical. Danielle's Auto Coverage Concierge exists because she sees how often coverage gaps hurt families. She knows insurance inside and out.
When you hire Danielle, you get Danielle. Not a case manager. Not a paralegal who forwards your messages. You get direct access to your attorney—someone who knows your case, answers your questions, and fights for your outcome.
From coordinating medical care to negotiating with insurance companies to preparing for trial, Kushel Law Group handles everything. You focus on healing. Danielle handles the legal fight.
Safety first. Check yourself and others for injuries. Call 911 if anyone needs medical attention. Even for minor accidents, a police report creates an official record of what happened.
If the accident is minor and vehicles are drivable, move to the shoulder or a safe location. Turn on hazard lights. If the accident is serious or anyone is injured, stay put until help arrives.
Get the other driver's name, phone number, insurance information, license plate number, and driver's license number. Do NOT discuss fault or apologize—anything you say can be used against you later.
Use your phone to take photos of:
If anyone saw the accident, get their name and phone number. Witness testimony can be crucial if liability is disputed.
This is critical in Florida. You must see a medical provider within 14 days of the accident to access your PIP (Personal Injury Protection) benefits. Even if you feel fine, get checked—some injuries don't show symptoms immediately.
The other driver's insurance company may call quickly. Be careful. You're not obligated to give a recorded statement, and what you say can be used to minimize or deny your claim. Speak with an attorney first.
Before signing anything or accepting a settlement offer, consult with a personal injury attorney. Early offers are often far below what your case is worth.
A family was told their claim was denied because their loved one was "at fault." We moved fast—securing witness statements, traffic light timing data, and vehicle evidence that proved otherwise. The denial was reversed.
When the at-fault driver fled the scene, the insurance company tried to deny the uninsured motorist claim. Our investigation of scene forensics and 911 timing data proved the hit-and-run occurred exactly as our client described. Full UM recovery achieved.
The at-fault driver claimed she was going the speed limit. We downloaded her vehicle's Event Data Recorder (the "black box") and proved she was traveling 20 mph over the limit at impact. Case resolved favorably.
Every case begins with a conversation. Tell Danielle what happened, and she'll give you honest answers about your options—whether that means working together or pointing you in the right direction.
No pressure. No obligation. Just clarity.
