New Office Located at Former Miami Dolphins Icon Office

In a bold move symbolizing both growth and legacy, personal injury law firm Kogan & DiSalvo has relocated its Broward County office to a new, larger space at 2 South University Drive, Suite 325, Plantation, FL 33324—a location once famously occupied by Miami Dolphins legend Dan Marino.

This relocation reflects the firm’s rapid expansion and its continued commitment to delivering exceptional legal services to clients injured in accidents across South Florida.

“This move is about more than just square footage—it’s about continuing to raise the bar for the people who count on us the most,” said founding partner Darryl Kogan. “We’ve outgrown our old space because of the trust our clients place in us. Now, we have the room and the resources to serve them even better.”

A Strategic Move to Support Continued Growth

Kogan & DiSalvo has experienced significant growth over the past several years, expanding its team of attorneys and support staff to meet increasing demand. Furthermore, the new Ft. Lauderdale area location offers upgraded amenities, increased meeting space, and enhanced capabilities to support a growing volume of complex personal injury cases.

“Knowing this space was once home to Dan Marino brings a unique energy,” added partner Ted DiSalvo. “It feels fitting to continue our mission of fighting for injured victims in a space once used by a local icon known for strength, strategy, and leadership.”

Moreover, the firm’s expansion underscores its position as a trusted advocate for accident victims throughout Florida. From car crashes and slip-and-fall injuries to wrongful death, Kogan & DiSalvo is known for its aggressive representation, compassionate service, and proven results.

“We’re here to win for our clients,” said Partner Todd Baker. “This new location gives us the space to collaborate more effectively and deliver even stronger legal outcomes for the people who need us most.”
Kogan & DiSalvo invites current and prospective clients to visit the new office or contact the firm for a free consultation.

“Adding Michael to our firm is about more than legal skill—it’s about community,” said Partner Ted DiSalvo. “He’s lived the values we fight for in court every day. As we grow in Broward, his leadership will help us serve our neighbors even better.”
With the addition of Michael J. Ryan, Kogan & DiSalvo continues to set the standard—not just for legal excellence, but for real, local impact.

City officials in Pompano Beach have responded to backlash over streetscape improvements on the Atlantic Boulevard/Dixie Highway corridor that have left motorists sitting in traffic longer than usual. An already ‘difficult’ commute on one of South Florida’s busiest roadways has become a nightmare for many residents in recent weeks, but this will hopefully soon change.

Roadway project revised

The Pompano Beach roadway project – part of a city-approved plan to create a new pedestrian-friendly downtown and foster economic growth – has been fine-tuned to relieve the current gridlock that commuters are facing.

According to officials, a number of changes were made to improve road safety and relieve the bulk of congestion.

Key measures include:

• Optimizing the timing of traffic lights
• The left-turn lanes on westbound Atlantic Boulevard were lengthened to keep vehicles from blocking through-traffic.
• The intersection at Atlantic Boulevard and NE/SW First Avenue now allows right turns only

The most recent studies on the revised roadway project indicate that it will add roughly two minutes of additional travel time for westbound traffic on Atlantic Boulevard between 4pm-6pm, and 30 seconds for those traveling westbound at the other hours of the day. Eastbound commuters should not experience any traffic delays.

Experts hope the fine-tuning will address the most critical problem: the congestion of westbound motorists on Atlantic Boulevard from Cypress Road to Dixie Highway during peak rush hours.

Creating a new gateway to Pompano Beach

The transformation of the Atlantic Boulevard and Dixie Highway corridor is part of a larger plan to attract more business to downtown Pompano Beach, while fostering connectivity. The city plans on creating broad sidewalks and medians, better crosswalks, and using the landscape to act as a buffer between vehicles and pedestrians. There will be designated areas for bicyclists and efforts to enhance safety for all modes of transportation and prevent traffic accidents.

Improving safety for motorists and pedestrians

Traffic engineer and city consultant Joaquin Vargas says the roadway project should prevent speeding on this busy corridor and create a safer environment for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

According to data from the Florida Department of Transportation, this section of Atlantic Boulevard has five times more collisions than the standard for similar roads in the Sunshine State. County reports show that accidents between Cypress Road and Dixie Highway tend to be particularly violent, often leading to serious injury or death.

Kogan & DiSalvo applaud any initiatives that aim to reduce traffic back-ups in this busy area, and improve roadway safety. For legal guidance after any type of car accident that results in injury, please reach out for a free and confidential case evaluation.

What is behind these grim statistics? Put much of the blame on the way our streets are designed.

A pedestrian accident lawyer at Kogan & DiSalvo can help if you or a family member were impacted by a motor vehicle while walking.

Florida Ranks Second for Danger to Pedestrians

Modern roads are indeed dangerous by design. They are engineered to move motor vehicles quickly, with little consideration for pedestrians. Estimates for 2021 pedestrian deaths, at 7,485, would make these fatalities the highest in 40 years.

Florida has the dubious distinction of being second in the nation, behind only New Mexico, as the most dangerous state in the country for pedestrians. The Daytona Beach region does rank nationally for the most dangerous metropolitan area for pedestrians.

Other Florida areas on the list include:

• Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater–4
• Jacksonville–6
• Orlando, Kissimmee, Sanford–8
• Palm Bay, Melbourne, Titusville–12
• Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach–14
• North Port, Sarasota, Bradenton–19

Keep in mind these are national rankings. That means Florida has eight of the top 20 most dangerous areas in the country for pedestrians. In comparison, California has more cars, but only four cities in the top 20. None are ranked higher than 7.  

There’s even more bad news. None of these metropolitan areas are improving. All have become significantly more deadly. 

Those Most Affected

Dangerous road design affects every community, but some are especially vulnerable. Older adults suffer higher rates of being struck and killed. So do those of all ages walking in low-income neighborhoods.

People of color are more likely to die in pedestrian accidents. Statistically, 1.2 Asian-Americans die in pedestrian accidents per 100,000. White, non-Hispanic victims make up 1.5 pedestrian deaths, while Hispanic victims make up 1.8. The number jumps to 3.0 for Black people and an extremely high 4.8 for American Indians or Alaska Natives.

Low-income neighborhoods are less likely to have parks available for safe walking. They are also less likely to have crosswalks or sidewalks, or other elements of safe street design for pedestrians. In addition, many of these neighborhoods are located on or near major roadways designed for high-speed traffic. These conditions just make walking much less safe for the average pedestrian.

Accidentally leaving an infant or toddler in a car seat while a car becomes too hot is certainly near the top of the list of “parent’s worst nightmare”. Now, there is a new piece of automobile tech which may help prevent hot car deaths of children. This new sensor, which the National Highway Transportation and Safety Association (NHTSA) is reviewing, alerts the driver if it detects that they’ve left their child in the car. If the alarm isn’t answered, the car can send a text message or alert the police about the situation. Already available on some vehicles, it should eventually become standard.

Hot Car Deaths

According to the NHTSA, 23 children died from vehicular heatstroke in 2021. In 2018 and 2019, hot car deaths set a record, with 53 children dying in both years. Those were the highest totals in 20 years.

While this post concerns children, keep in mind that hundreds of pets also die each year in hot cars. The same tech will also prevent Fido from being forgotten.

Rear Occupant Alert System

The ROA works by detecting vehicle movement. When a driver leaves the car and locks it with anything moving in the back seat, the ROA starts the car honking and flashing. Prior to exiting the vehicle, the alert to check the back seat appears on the dashboard. Fail to answer the alarm, and texts are sent to the driver and law enforcement.

Tragedy in Miami Gardens

Had a ROA been installed in a car, a recent tragedy in Miami Gardens might have been averted. A 3-year-old boy succumbed in a hot car in the parking lot of the Lubavitch Education Center, where both of his parents worked. The medical examiner confirmed the child died of hyperthermia or an overheated body. The death was ruled accidental.

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

The IIJA, passed in 2021, provides for all new passenger vehicles to have hot car warning systems installed. Currently, the NHTSA is reviewing various types of tech alert systems to determine new vehicle requirements.

Current Models With ROA

For those interested in vehicles currently offering ROA as standard equipment in new cars, look into:

• Acura
• Buick
• Cadillac
• Chevrolet
• Ford
• Genesis
• GMC
• Hyundai
• Infiniti
• Kia
• Lincoln
• Nissan
• Subaru
• Toyota

Car Safety Tips for Kids

Other car safety tips for kids include:

• Ensuring children under 12 sit in the back seat.
• Keep infants under 20 pounds in rear-facing car seats.
• Between 20-40 pounds, use front-facing car seats.
• Never leave a child in an unattended vehicle, even if the window is open or the air-conditioning is on.
• Develop the habit of checking the car front and back when leaving it. Think “park, look, and lock.”

The personal injury lawyers at Kogan & DiSalvo welcome all new technologies that keep us safe in our cars and on the road. Unfortunately, far too many preventable tragedies continue to occur. If you or a loved one have been injured in a motor vehicle-related accident, reach out to our car accident lawyers today to see how we can help.
