As it now stands, the 826 extends from South Dade south of the Merrick Park Mall to Sunny Isles Beach. Depending on where you enter and exit, the Palmetto could go north and south or east and west. If you drive the entire distance, you will ride on highways to city streets but without any tolls. And you won’t be alone. The Palmetto has over 250,000 vehicles on a daily basis.

If you don’t believe how busy the Palmetto Expressway is, our Miami Car Accident Lawyers would tell you to just check the traffic reports during rush hour on any given day. Some days it seems like a demolition derby out there.

Accidents happen all the time on the Palmetto. With 250,000 vehicles or more per day, crashes are inevitable. Our State Road 826 Car Accident Attorneys have represented personal injury victims injured in the following types of accidents:

Our attorneys can investigate the facts of your accident and find the wrongdoer who did not follow the safety rules which left you injured.

In addition to these types of accidents, some people are injured because of the never-ending construction on various parts of the Palmetto. If you were injured because of construction site negligence such as improperly place barriers, failure to warn, uneven roads or debris figuring out who is responsible can be tricky. Often the investigation includes review site plans, proposals, construction logs and even an investigator on site. Most records for public road projects are available through a Public Records Act request under Florida Statue Chapter 119.

After the records are acquired, then those documents need to be reviewed. That review is usually an expert that will work with our Car Accident Lawyers in Miami to figure out if the general contractor or someone else is responsible. Sometimes, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is the at-fault party. The Palmetto Expressway Accident Attorneys of Miami at Wolfson & Leon have handled these types of cases and are available to speak with you at (305) 285-1115 anytime.
