Common Car Accident Causes in Miami
As with most other accidents, car accidents can happen for several reasons. In some cases, car accidents and other types of auto accidents can be caused by negligent signage, hazardous road or weather conditions, defective car parts, and more. That being said, it’s no surprise that most car accidents are caused by negligent drivers. The most common causes of car accidents that our firm has seen in the past are as follows:
- Distracted driving, such as texting while driving
- Driving while drowsy or fatigued
- Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, even if prescribed
- Running stop signs or stop lights
- Failing to yield to oncoming vehicles with the right of way
- Unsafe lane changes or merges
- Speeding
If you were hurt because another driver was doing any of the aforementioned and caused your accident, there is a very good chance that you will be eligible for compensation. Our Miami car accident lawyer is prepared to fight for this compensation, every step of the way, on your behalf.
Recovering Compensation in a Car Accident Claim
When injuries are sustained by the negligence or recklessness of a motor vehicle driver, it is crucial to understand the three basic elements of recovering compensation for your injuries:
- Fault: Fault means that another driver must be responsible for your injuries. Oftentimes, a negligent driver will not accept responsibility for his or her actions. That is why Aigen Injury Law will be your advocate to ensure that the responsible driver is held accountable and will not impede your right to recover.
- Injuries: You must prove you sustained a permanent injury to recover compensation for your pain and suffering under Florida law. The severity of an injury and the effect that it has on one’s life will likely be the most important factor in the monetary value of your claim. However, even when the accident is determined to be the fault of another party and severe and permanent injuries are sustained, there generally must be active insurance coverage to recover monetarily.
- Insurance Coverage: Insurance coverage means that the responsible party in a motor vehicle accident must be carrying Bodily Injury (B.I.) insurance coverage on his or her policy in order to recover monetary compensation. Under Florida law, drivers are not required to carry Bodily Injury coverage. When no Bodily Injury coverage is available, our team will determine whether our client has
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (U.M.) coverage on the automobile policy. U.M. coverage entitles victims of motor vehicle accidents to recovery for injuries when the responsible party has no insurance, no Bodily Injury insurance, or insufficient Bodily Injury insurance to fairly compensate the injured victim.
Florida’s Statute of Limitations for Auto Accident Claims
Here in Florida, the statute of limitations for auto accident claims is four years, in most cases.

This is why it is always best to simply retain the services of a competent Miami-Dade County personal injury attorney as soon as you can. Aigen Injury Law is ready to help you.
