Miami-Dade County Car Accident Lawyers

Miami-Dade County, or simply known to many local residents as “Dade” or “Miami-Dade”, is Florida’s most heavily populated as well as the seventh most populous county in the United States. Housing nearly 2.5 Million residents, Miami –Dade is Florida’s third largest County (in terms of land area). Created on January 18, 1836, under the Territorial Act of the United States, it was named after Francis L. Dade. Dade was a soldier who served in the Second Seminole War at Dade Battlefield—Which has since become a Historical Memorial located on Country Road 603, between Interstate 75 (I-75) and U.S. 301—as a Brevet Major in

the U.S. 4th Infantry Regiment. At the time of its inception, Dade County was comprised of, what would now be considered, present day Palm Beach and Broward Counties, in addition to a significant portion of the Florida Keys. Despite its dwindling size (due to redrawing county lines), Dade continues to attract an astounding number of tourists (welcoming 13.9 Million visitors in 2012, a 3.5% increase compared to that of its 2011 estimates).

Given this influx of tourists, these visitors have brought with them increased traffic, more vehicles, and, unfortunately, greater risk for automobile accidents to occur. According to published Florida Department of Transportation car accident statistics, from 2007 to 2011, Miami-Dade was (and continues to be) the most accident-prone county in the state, beating its closest “competitor” (Broward County) by nearly 20,000 incidents in 2011 alone. This staggering figure alone, prompted Florida legislators, over the past few years, to draft legislation in an effort to help make traffic intersections safer for pedestrians as well as automobile operators.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I have a case after a car accident in Miami-Dade County?

If another driver’s carelessness caused a car accident in Miami-Dade County and you were hurt, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income and pain and suffering. A free consultation can tell you where you stand.

Does Florida no-fault insurance cover my injuries?

Florida drivers must carry $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP), which pays part of your medical bills and lost wages no matter who was at fault. When injuries are serious or permanent, you may be able to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for more.

What if the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough?

Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy may pay. Florida does not require every driver to carry bodily injury liability coverage, so this coverage often matters.

How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?

For most negligence claims, Florida’s deadline to file a lawsuit is two years from the date of the injury. Claims for wrongful death, medical malpractice and claims against government agencies follow different rules, so talk to a lawyer early.

What if I was partly at fault?

Florida uses modified comparative negligence. If you are found 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover.

How much does it cost to hire Aronfeld Trial Lawyers?

Nothing up front. Aronfeld Trial Lawyers works on a contingency fee: No Recovery. No Fee. You pay nothing unless we recover money for you.
