Brickell packs high-rise homes, offices and restaurants into a few dense blocks. Rideshare pickups, delivery vans stopped in travel lanes, garage exits across busy sidewalks and heavy foot traffic around Metromover stations create constant conflicts. Rush hour into and out of I-95 brings rear-end crashes, and scooters and bikes share narrow lanes.

Transit, bikes and pedestrians

The free Metromover Brickell loop, Metrorail’s Brickell station and the City of Miami Brickell trolley all serve the area, so many crash victims here are pedestrians or riders. If you were hurt on foot, on a bike or as a passenger, your own household PIP policy usually pays first.

Nearest emergency care

Jackson Memorial Hospital and its Ryder Trauma Center (1611 NW 12th Ave), Miami-Dade’s main adult trauma center; HCA Florida Mercy Hospital (3663 S Miami Ave) has a full emergency department. In an emergency, always call 911.
