Overtown Accidents Leading to Wrongful DeathsOvertown is known as a historic neighborhood in Miami. Overtown is just the second longest continuously inhabited area in Miami, after Coconut Grove. This part of the city has once been a cultural center and a night entertainment spot, before declining in the middle 20th century. The population has declined by 80%, from 50,000 to 10,000. Nowadays, despite the new developments, the population remains low at around only 6,000 people.
Overtown is located between Allapattah and Downtown Miami. Its borders are from North 20th Street to the north to North Fifth Street to the South, and from West First Avenue and Florida East Coast Railway on the east to the Miami River and Dolphin Expressway.
The high crime rates in Overtown means many calls for advice on personal injury and wrongful death recovery for any Miami accident attorney. We help people in the following manner:
Many clients ask whether pursuing compensation after a wrongful death will help. Our answer is that it can to some degree. No amount of money can replace a family member lost in a wrongful death. Financial compensation will never eliminate the pain or complete sense of loss. But holding the responsible person or company responsible can help not only you but your family and, possibly, your community as well. It is entirely possible that your actions in holding someone responsible for their actions that led to the death of a loved one may prevent that person from harming or even killing someone else. That is an undeniable benefit to your community.
