Miami Intersection Accidents

Intersection accidents in Miami and across Florida are often preventable. In many cases, accidents that occur at intersections occur because someone ran a red light, was driving distracted, was driving drunk, or failed to check their blind spots or failed to yield right-of-way. At an intersection, cars and pedestrians are vulnerable, since any mistakes can affect multiple pedestrians and cars in a collision. One simple mistake – such as somebody failing to yield right-of-way – can cause a chain reaction accident or another type of traffic accident.

Because intersection accidents are so often preventable, if you've been injured in this type of accident it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney in Miami or your community. If you've been injured, the attorneys of Flaxman Law Group would like to help by offering a free, no obligation case evaluation.
