Types of Personal Injury Cases
Accidents in North Bay Village happen in many settings—from waterfront walkways to condo complexes to the busy Kennedy Causeway. We represent clients in a wide range of personal injury cases throughout Miami-Dade County, including:
Car Accidents
The 79th Street Causeway is the lifeline into and out of North Bay Village—and also the site of frequent collisions. With limited lanes, high speeds, and heavy commuter traffic to Miami and Miami Beach, accidents are common. We handle cases involving:
- Rear-end accidents
- Side-impact or T-bone collisions
- Head-on crashes
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Aggressive driving
- Drunk or impaired driving
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists enjoy riding through the scenic causeway and island roads, but they face serious risks from inattentive drivers, sudden lane changes, and blind spots. Motorcycle crashes often lead to severe or life-changing injuries.
Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents
North Bay Village’s walkability and waterfront views attract cyclists and pedestrians daily. However, narrow sidewalks, busy restaurant zones, and high-speed causeway traffic can create dangerous situations, resulting in:
- Crosswalk accidents
- Bike lane collisions
- Sidewalk and curb-related injuries
Slip and Fall / Premises Liability
Falls are common in areas with tile flooring, waterfront moisture, and busy dining and hospitality spaces. We represent victims injured at:
- Restaurants and bars
- Retail stores
- Condominiums and apartment complexes
- Marinas and docks
- Parking lots and walkways
Common hazards include wet floors, uneven surfaces, poorly lit walkways, and negligent property maintenance.
Uber & Lyft Accidents
Rideshare activity is significant due to tourism and local nightlife. Whether you were a passenger, a pedestrian, or another motorist, we manage rideshare liability issues and determine which insurance policy applies.
Boating & Marina Accidents
Given North Bay Village’s waterfront environment, boating accidents are not uncommon. Injuries may involve:
- Unsafe marina conditions
- Jet Ski collisions
- Negligent boating
- Dock accidents
- Rental equipment malfunctions
Dog Bite Injuries
We represent victims harmed by dogs in residential neighborhoods, condo buildings, and public areas.
