Motor Vehicle Accidents, Car Wrecks, and Personal Injury in Miami

2 minute read

Miami, the cultural and financial hub of South Florida, is known for its bustling highways, international tourism, and heavy urban traffic. Miami-Dade County consistently reports some of the highest numbers of motor vehicle accidents in Florida [1]. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), Miami-Dade reported over 60,000 crashes in 2023, including more than 300 fatalities [2]. So far in 2025, Miami-Dade has over 20,000 crashes reported with 100 fatalities [3].

Why are crashes so common?

In Miami, high-crash areas include major routes like US-1, I-95, and intersections near the I-195/I-395 interchanges. Local streets such as 12th Avenue in East Little Havana are also common accident zones due to heavy traffic and frequent turning conflicts [4].

Common causes of accidents in Miami include distracted or aggressive driving, speeding on expressways and major roads, impaired or drowsy driving, and the challenges posed by heavy pedestrian and cyclist traffic [5]. These factors contribute to the city’s high rate of collisions and traffic-related injuries.

What to do After an Accident in Florida [6]:

  1. Prioritize safety; move your vehicle if safe to do so
  2. Call 911 for medical and police assistance
  3. Take photos of the scene and your injuries
  4. Exchange contact and insurance information
  5. Submit appropriate crash report if needed
  6. Seek medical care immediately
