What Causes Miami Car Accidents and What That Means for You

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were 54,788 car crashes in Miami-Dade County in 2025, causing over 26,000 injuries and 261 fatalities. That’s more than 15% of all crashes statewide, making Miami-Dade one of the most dangerous counties in Florida for drivers, passengers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.

We’ve helped injury victims after nearly every kind of crash whether caused by another driver’s actions or external factors beyond your control.

• Distracted Driving – Texting, adjusting the radio, or eating behind the wheel can cause a crash in seconds. These collisions often result in whiplash, spinal cord injuries, or traumatic brain injuries.
• Speeding – High-speed wrecks are among the most violent. Victims often face catastrophic injuries, totaled vehicles, and long recoveries.
• DUI & Drugged Driving – Common in nightlife areas like Wynwood and South Beach. These cases often involve civil claims in addition to criminal proceedings, and we handle both.
• Hit-and-Run Accidents – One of the fastest-rising accident types in Miami. Victims are often left without answers, resources, or the at-fault driver’s information. We move quickly to recover footage, secure witness statements, and pursue uninsured motorist coverage when needed.
• Aggressive Driving – Tailgating, brake-checking, and weaving through traffic are reckless behaviors that lead to serious accidents and open the door to potential punitive damages.
• Failure to Yield – Common at intersections throughout Coral Gables and Little Havana. These traffic accident often turn into complicated disputes over fault.
• Improper Lane Changes – Frequent on congested roads like Collins Ave and Biscayne Blvd. Liability can hinge on eyewitness testimony or traffic camera footage.
• Drowsy Driving – Often occurs in early morning or late-night hours when drivers lose focus or fall asleep at the wheel, especially on long highway routes.
• Bad Weather – Heavy rain and slick roads contribute to crashes, but insurers often use weather as an excuse to avoid paying fair compensation.

The cause of a crash often determines the type of accident, and that makes a big difference in how your claim is handled. Each type comes with its own legal challenges, insurance hurdles, and evidence requirements.

At Steinger, Greene & Feiner, we know how to handle them all. Our team understands the details that matter, and we tailor our approach to get the best results for your specific case.

Types of Car Accidents We Cover

No two crashes are the same and neither are the injuries, insurance policies, or legal paths that follow. That’s why our legal team builds custom case strategies for each client.

We’ve helped injury victims after nearly every kind of auto accident, whether caused by another driver’s actions or external factors beyond your control.

• Rear-end Collisions: Common in Brickell, Coral Way, and anywhere traffic slows quickly. Often dismissed by insurance as “minor,” even when victims suffer lasting neck and spine injuries. We don’t let adjusters minimize your pain.
• Head-on Collisions: These are some of the most severe and most contested cases we take. We pursue full damages, including for wrongful death when necessary.
• T-Bone, or Side Collision:s Often caused by failure to yield or red-light violations. These can lead to hip fractures, internal injuries, and high medical bills for both drivers and passengers.
• Rollover Accidents: These often involve SUVs or trucks hit from the side at speed. We investigate stability, road conditions, and impact angles to hold the right party accountable.
• Rideshare Accidents: Whether you were a passenger or hit by a rideshare driver, we navigate layered policies and app-based reporting issues to maximize your claim.
• Parked Car Accidents: If you were hit while pulled over or even inside a parked car, you still have rights. We’ve handled many cases like this across Downtown, Wynwood, and shopping plazas.
• High-Speed Accidents: High-speed wrecks on these roads such as I-95, Palmetto, US-1, often involve multiple vehicles and multiple insurers. We coordinate it all.
• Hit-and-Run Accidents: Hit-and-run crashes are an increasing concern in Miami. Victims are often left with no insurance information and serious injuries while the driver flees the scene. These cases require fast action and a legal team that knows how to track down evidence, secure witness statements, and pursue all available insurance, including uninsured motorist (UM) coverage.
• Drunk Driving Accidents: We don’t wait for the criminal case to resolve. We immediately launch a civil claim, investigate alcohol involvement, and seek full compensation for the trauma caused.

Florida law has its own set of rules when it comes to car accident claims, and they can seriously affect your compensation if you’re not careful. Our legal team knows how to navigate the system and protect your rights, but here are a few key things you need to know about the car accident claim process in our state.

Florida Personal Injury Claims Laws

Florida law has some unique rules for motor vehicle accident claims. Our legal team knows the system and how to protect your rights. But you need to keep in mind a few things about car accident law and the personal injury claim process in the state of Florida.

Florida’s No-Fault Insurance (F.S. § 627.736)

Under the no-fault law, your own insurance company pays for your basic medical care and lost wages up to $10,000, regardless of who caused the accident. This is called Personal Injury Protection (PIP).

However, PIP doesn’t cover everything. And in many cases, it’s limited to just $2,500 unless you’re diagnosed with an emergency medical condition.

When You Can Sue the At-Fault Driver (F.S. § 627.737)

If you have severe injuries, such as permanent impairment, significant scarring, or disability, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver and their insurance company.

Modified Comparative Fault Rules (F.S. § 768.81)

Florida now follows modified comparative negligence. If you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages (reduced by your % of fault). If you are more than 50% at fault, you can’t recover.

That’s why building strong evidence and working with a team that knows how to prove liability is so important.

You Have 2 Years to File (F.S. § 95.11)

As of 2023, Florida’s statute of limitations for car accident lawsuits is 2 years. If you wait too long, you may lose your right to file a claim in Florida.

Compensation for Car Accident Injuries

A crash isn’t just a moment. It’s the beginning of a storm that can hit your health, your job, your family, and your future. And for many of our clients, that storm gets worse when the bills start piling up, and the insurance company doesn’t want to help. That’s where we come in.

What Florida Law Allows You to Recover

Florida law splits car accident compensation into two major categories: economic and non-economic damages. If the crash caused permanent injuries, severe scarring, or a long-term impact on your life, you can go beyond basic PIP and pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault party.

Economic Damages

These are the actual losses you can see on paper:

• Medical Expenses: Costs for medical treatments, surgeries, and rehabilitation that exceed PIP coverage. Florida Statute specifies that PIP covers 80% of medical expenses above $10,000.
• Lost Wages: If you missed work or can’t return to your job, we calculate your lost income and loss of future earnings (for income above $10,000 lost due to the inability to work, above the PIP limit).
• Property Damage: Costs to repair or replace your car, your phone, or anything else damaged in the crash.
• Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Additional expenses incurred due to the accident, such as transportation costs or home modifications.
• Wrongful Death Expenses: If the accident took a life, we pursue funeral expenses, loss of household income, and support for surviving family.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are less tangible but equally significant damages, including:

• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress caused by the injury.
• Mental Anguish: Psychological impact, including anxiety, depression, or PTSD resulting from the accident.
• Emotional Pain or Distress: The emotional burden of dealing with the aftermath of the accident and its impact on personal life.
• Loss of Enjoyment in Life: Compensation for the inability to engage in activities you once enjoyed.
• Permanent Disabilities and Impairments: Ongoing effects of your injury that impact your quality of life and ability to perform daily activities.

You may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.

In some cases, if the other driver’s actions were especially reckless like drunk driving or fleeing the scene punitive damages may also apply.

Our legal team at Steinger, Greene & Feiner is equipped to navigate these complexities, prove your case, and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
