Civil lawsuits land in Palm Beach County courts every day. Many never make headlines. They begin with paperwork — a complaint filed with the clerk.
This section tracks civil lawsuits filed in Palm Beach County Circuit and County Court, with a focus on cases tied to Boca Raton and nearby communities. Coverage is based on public court records maintained by the Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller.
A complaint is not a verdict. The allegations described in a filing have not been proven, liability has not been determined, and outcomes can change as cases move through the court system.

Civil lawsuits cover a wide range of disputes, from injuries and insurance claims to property and business conflicts. The sections below explain the most common types of cases that appear in Palm Beach County courts. They provide general context, not legal advice.
Auto negligence lawsuits usually follow a traffic crash, when one party claims another caused the collision and resulting injuries or damage. Insurance disputes are common, and cases can take months or longer to resolve as fault, treatment, and damages are argued.
Premises liability cases involve injuries on someone else’s property, such as slip-and-falls or unsafe conditions. The central question is often whether the property owner knew about a hazard and failed to address it.
These lawsuits arise when an insurance claim is denied, delayed, or underpaid after a loss. In South Florida, they frequently involve storm damage, water intrusion, or disputes over policy language and coverage.
Medical malpractice lawsuits allege that a healthcare provider failed to meet the accepted standard of care. These cases are complex, rely heavily on records and experts, and often move slowly through the court system.
Foreclosure cases typically involve missed mortgage payments or unpaid homeowners or condominium association dues. Many are resolved before final judgment through payments, settlements, or other agreements.
Contract disputes occur when one party claims another failed to honor a written agreement. These cases often come down to documents, timelines, and differing interpretations of what was agreed to.
Boca Post reports on civil lawsuits using public court records from the Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller. Most stories begin with a complaint, which is the document filed to open a case.
A complaint outlines allegations made by one party. It is not a ruling, and it does not establish fault or liability. Defendants may dispute the claims, seek dismissal, or resolve cases through settlement without a trial.
Reporting in this section is limited to what appears in court filings and confirmed case activity. We do not speculate about outcomes and we do not publish legal advice.
When cases move forward, coverage may be updated to reflect new filings, court orders, or case resolutions. Original documents referenced in individual stories are available through the Clerk of Court for readers who want to review the filings directly.
