It can be dangerous driving on the streets of Miami. Even the most careful drivers who dutifully put on their seatbelts every time they get into their car, check both ways before driving through an intersection, and always obey the speed limit can be the victim of a car accident. Drivers who fail to stop at red lights, speed, operate their cars while impaired, or aren’t paying attention create hazards for everyone on the road.
According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, Miami-Dade County experienced 64,627 vehicle crashes in 2018, resulting in 21,187 injuries. Statistics show that, after falls, injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents are the second leading cause of injury-related hospitalization for all age groups in Miami-Dade County. Car accident victims may have seemingly minor injuries such as burns, scrapes, or lacerations which require medical attention. Serious injuries can happen when a victim hits their head on the steering wheel or dashboard, potentially causing trauma to the brain. Broken bones, neck or back injuries, and damage to internal organs may also result from serious car accidents. These may require extensive hospitalization, surgery, and continuing medical treatment.

Car Accident Lawyer for BahamiansPoor economic conditions and scarcity of work prompted many Bahamians to seek jobs in the United States, with the first major migration to South Florida occurring in the 1880s. They found jobs at Key Biscayne’s Peacock Inn, as well as other local hotels. Eventually, they began to settle in the area now known as Coconut Grove. Bahamians were known for their skilled stonemasonry and played an integral role in developing the Grove’s unique architecture, which can still be seen in historic homes and churches today. Many started their own companies and built homes in the Village West area of Coconut Grove.
Today, there are over 21,000 Bahamians that live in Coconut Grove. The city celebrates its deep Bahamian roots with the annual Goombay Festival, which featuring authentic Caribbean cuisine, Bahamian beer, Junkanoo music, all mixed in with plenty of Bahamian culture.
