Auto Accident Lawyers in Miami

Miami is recognized nationally and globally as one of the primary hotspots for travel, right behind New York. In 2021 alone, the city saw an influx of 24.2 million visitors. Unfortunately, with that flood of visitors also comes an elevated risk of accidents. That same year, there were 62,536 crashes in Miami-Dade County, resulting in 323 deaths.

It should be unsurprising that one of the most visited cities in the country is also one of the most congested and is nationally recognized as one of the most dangerous areas for drivers.

The most common behaviors that lead to car accidents in Miami are:

Failing to Yield the Right-of-Way: Drivers who fail to give the right of way to another vehicle or pedestrian can cause collisions at intersections or while merging.
Reckless Driving: Engaging in aggressive or careless driving behaviors, such as excessive speeding, weaving through traffic or running red lights, is one of the leading causes of car crashes.
Distracted Driving: Activities such as texting, talking on the phone, eating or using electronic devices divert a driver’s attention and significantly increase the likelihood of motor vehicle accidents.
Following Too Closely: Tailgating or following other vehicles too closely can reduce reaction times and result in rear-end collisions.

Other frequent causes of car accidents include:

What To Do if You’ve Been in an Accident

First and foremost, check yourself and your passengers for any injuries. If anyone is injured, call for medical assistance right away. Even if you don’t initially feel injured, it’s important to seek medical attention after a car accident. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, which is why it’s important to allow a medical professional to assess your condition and provide necessary treatment.

If it’s safe to do so, move your vehicle out of traffic to prevent further accidents. Turn on your hazard lights and set up flares or reflective emergency triangles if you have them to alert other drivers. Take pictures of the accident scene, including the damage to the vehicles and any visible injuries. This evidence can be useful when you contact your insurance company and file a claim, which you should do as soon as possible after the accident.

Be sure to also exchange contact and insurance information with the other drivers involved in the accident, such as names, phone numbers, addresses, driver’s license numbers and insurance details.

It’s crucial to avoid admitting fault to anyone, including other drivers and law enforcement at the scene. You should cooperate but minimize discussion of the accident as much as possible until you’ve spoken with your own insurance company and/or a car accident injury attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vehicle Accidents

What Is a Single-Driver Accident?

A driver striking a non-vehicular object in their path, such as an animal, dropped cargo or debris in the road. Single-vehicle accidents can also occur when a hazard causes the vehicle to veer off the roadway, where it might hit a light pole, guard rail or another obstacle. Although the driver of the vehicle is usually at fault, defective automobile components or inadequate road maintenance sometimes contribute to these crashes. In those types of crashes, the driver may be able to claim that a third party was fully or partially liable.

Do I Need to Report a Car Accident to the Police in Miami?

Yes – even if the accident is minor, it’s essential to report it to the police to avoid legal penalties.

In Miami, you are required to report an accident to the police if it involves injuries, deaths or property damage exceeding $500. If the police didn’t come to investigate the accident, you have ten days to file a written accident report. Even failing to report a minor accident can result in a $30 fine. If you neglect to report a major accident, you could face much worse penalties, including jail time.
