Common Accidents in Kendall

Highway and Arterial Crashes

The Palmetto Expressway, Don Shula Expressway (SR 874), Florida’s Turnpike and Kendall Drive carry heavy, fast traffic all day.

Shopping Center Injuries

Dadeland Mall, The Falls, Kendall Village Center and dozens of plazas see slip and falls, parking lot crashes and assaults.

Pedestrian and Bike Injuries

Wide, fast roads with long distances between crosswalks put people walking to bus stops, schools and the Dadeland Metrorail stations at risk.

Where Crashes Happen in Kendall

The busiest crash corridors in Kendall include Kendall Drive (SW 88th Street), US-1 (South Dixie Highway), the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826), the Don Shula Expressway (SR 874), the Snapper Creek Expressway (SR 878), Florida’s Turnpike, SW 107th Avenue, SW 117th Avenue, SW 137th Avenue and Sunset Drive (SW 72nd Street). Intersections around Dadeland, Baptist Hospital, Miami Dade College Kendall Campus and the large shopping centers along Kendall Drive are frequent crash sites.

Injury Cases We Handle for Kendall Clients

Florida Law You Should Know

Two-year deadline. For most negligence claims arising on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years to file a lawsuit.
Modified comparative fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover. Below that, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault.
PIP pays first in most car crashes. Your own Personal Injury Protection covers up to $10,000 in medical bills and lost wages, if you get treatment within 14 days.
Government claims are different. If a city bus, county vehicle or dangerous public road played a role, written notice must be given to the government before suing.

Getting Help After a Crash in Kendall

Crashes in Kendall are usually handled by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, since most of Kendall is unincorporated. Crashes on state highways may be handled by the Florida Highway Patrol. You can request a copy of your crash report once it is filed, and we can get it for you.

For serious injuries, the nearest trauma care is often the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, though many Kendall patients are first treated at Baptist Hospital of Miami or Kendall Regional Medical Center. Keep every record from the ambulance, emergency room and follow-up visits. Those records are the backbone of your claim.

Injuries We Often See

Neck and back injuries, including herniated discs
Broken bones and fractures
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Knee and shoulder injuries that need surgery
Burns, scarring and disfigurement

Some injuries, like concussions and disc injuries, do not show up right away. Get checked by a doctor even if you feel fine after a crash.

What Your Claim Can Include

Florida law lets injured people recover for the full impact of an injury caused by someone else’s negligence. Depending on your case, that can include:

Medical bills, past and future, including surgery, therapy and medication
Lost wages and lost ability to earn in the future
Pain, suffering and emotional distress
Loss of enjoyment of life, including activities you can no longer do
Property damage, such as vehicle repair or replacement
For families, wrongful death damages when a loved one is killed

We document every loss with medical records, bills, employer records and, when needed, expert opinions, so the insurance company cannot overlook any part of your claim.

What to Do After an Accident in Kendall

Call 911 and ask for a police report. Write down the report number.
Take photos of the scene, the vehicles, any hazard and your injuries.
Get names and phone numbers of witnesses.
If you fell at a store or mall, report it to the manager and ask for a copy of the incident report.
See a doctor right away, and within 14 days for a car crash to protect your PIP benefits.
Do not give a recorded statement to an insurance company before talking to a lawyer.

Where Your Case Will Be Filed

Injury lawsuits arising in Kendall are generally filed in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, in downtown Miami.
