Florida Personal Injury Statistics

Florida ranks among the top states for personal injury and auto accident claims. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), there were over 331,900 car crashes in 2024, resulting in over 250,000 injuries and 3,400 fatalities statewide. Miami-Dade County consistently leads the state in accident volume, averaging over 50,000 crashes annually, many involving pedestrians, cyclists, or commercial vehicles.

For additional context, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that unintentional injuries are among the leading causes of death in Florida, particularly among adults under 45.

These numbers highlight why victims need skilled representation. A Miami personal injury lawyer ensures evidence is preserved, deadlines are met, and negligent parties are held accountable.

Why You Need a Miami Personal Injury Attorney

Accidents in Florida trigger complex legal and insurance issues. Here’s what a qualified attorney can do for you:

Protect Your Rights: Insurance adjusters often pressure victims into early, low settlements. Your attorney shields you from these tactics and ensures fair treatment.
Investigate the Cause: From car accident reconstruction to reviewing hospital records, we uncover the full story behind your injury.
Calculate True Damages: We assess both economic (medical bills, lost wages) and non-economic damages (pain, emotional trauma) for a fair claim value.
Negotiate With Insurance Companies: With experience handling insurers like GEICO, Progressive, and State Farm, we understand how to present evidence that compels a fair settlement.
Litigate When Necessary: If insurers refuse fair compensation, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court and fight for a verdict.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does it take to settle a personal injury case in Miami?

Most Miami personal injury cases settle within 6 to 12 months, depending on the complexity of the claim and medical treatment duration. Cases involving severe injuries or litigation can take longer, but Rafaeli Law works efficiently to secure the fastest, fair outcome possible.

2. Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Yes. Under Florida’s modified comparative negligence law, you can recover damages even if you were up to 50% at fault. However, your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

3. What are the most common causes of car accidents in Miami?

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), leading causes include distracted driving, speeding, and impaired driving. Miami’s heavy tourism and dense traffic make intersections like Biscayne Blvd and I‑95 hotspots for collisions.

4. Should I talk to the insurance company before hiring an attorney?

No. Insurance adjusters may attempt to get recorded statements or early settlements that hurt your claim. Always consult a Miami personal injury lawyer first to protect your rights.

5. What evidence should I collect after an accident in Miami?

Document the scene with photos, gather witness contact information, obtain a police accident report, and save all medical bills and correspondence. Rafaeli Law can handle evidence preservation and accident reconstruction for you.

6. How are pain and suffering damages calculated in Florida?

These non-economic damages are calculated based on injury severity, recovery time, emotional distress, and impact on quality of life. Miami juries often rely on multipliers of medical expenses to estimate fair compensation.

7. Do I have to go to court for my personal injury case?

Not necessarily. Most personal injury claims in Florida are resolved through settlement negotiations. Only about 5% go to trial. Rafaeli Law prepares every case as if it will go to court to strengthen your position.

8. What should I do if I’m injured while visiting Miami from another state or country?

If you’re a tourist or visitor injured in Miami, you still have the right to file a personal injury claim under Florida law. Our firm frequently assists out‑of‑state and international clients in navigating local courts and insurance procedures.
