Busy roads in the area include Collins Avenue, Alton Road, Washington Avenue, Ocean Drive, and the MacArthur, Venetian and Julia Tuttle Causeways.
Miami Beach traffic includes residents, tourists in rental cars, rideshare vehicles, scooters, cyclists and very heavy foot traffic. Visitors may be unfamiliar with local roads and Florida insurance rules. The causeways connecting the Beach to the mainland see high-speed crashes, and weekend and event crowds increase the risk of impaired driving.
Nearby emergency care
Mount Sinai Medical Center on the Beach operates an emergency department, and Jackson Memorial's Ryder Trauma Center across Biscayne Bay handles major trauma. In an emergency, always call 911.
What makes Miami Beach claims different
If you are visiting from out of state or another country, your claim can be more complicated. Florida PIP rules depend on residency and vehicle ownership, and rental car coverage has its own terms. Tell the attorney where you live and what insurance you have.
