Nestled between Coral Gables and Westchester, the City of West Miami is a tight-knit community known for its tree-lined neighborhoods, family-owned businesses, and convenient access to major roadways like Coral Way, SW 67th Avenue, and Bird Road. But even in a small, peaceful city, serious accidents happen without warning. One moment you may be shopping along Coral Way, driving through the SW 62nd Avenue corridor, or walking near Cooper Park—and the next, you’re dealing with painful injuries, medical appointments, lost wages, and aggressive insurance calls.
