If you were hurt in Miramar, you deserve clear answers and someone in your corner. Alexandra Linder Diaz helps injured people across Miramar from our downtown Hollywood office, with a free consultation and no fee unless we win.
Miramar stretches a long way from east to west, from older neighborhoods near State Road 7 out to newer communities close to U.S. 27. That means many people here drive long distances every day, on busy highways and wide arterial roads. When a crash happens, it often happens at speed.
If you are reading this after an accident, take a breath. You do not need to have everything figured out today. This page explains how injury claims work for people in Miramar, what local steps matter, and how we can help.
Your first consultation with Linder Diaz Law is free. We work on a contingency fee, which means no upfront costs and no fee unless we win. You can call or text (305) 853-8628 at any hour.
The City of Miramar describes four major corridors that cross the city: Florida’s Turnpike, Interstate 75, U.S. 441/State Road 7 and U.S. 27. Add Miramar Parkway and Pembroke Road, two busy east–west routes, and you have a road network that carries heavy commuter and truck traffic every day.
Some of the places where we hear about injuries include:
Long, straight roads invite speeding, and stop-and-go traffic near highway ramps leads to many rear-end collisions. Florida law presumes the rear driver was negligent in most rear-end crashes, although that presumption can be challenged with evidence.
Inside city limits, crashes are generally handled by the Miramar Police Department. Depending on where the crash happened, another agency, such as the Florida Highway Patrol on a highway, may write the report instead. The report number the officer gives you at the scene tells you which agency to ask.
The Miramar Police Records Unit is located at 11765 City Hall Promenade. According to the city, crash reports are confidential for the first 60 days after the accident. During that time they are released only to people involved in the crash, their attorneys and their insurance agents, with identification.
You can also buy a copy online through the state’s Florida Crash Portal, run by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Reports can take several days to appear there. If you hire us, we request the report for you, so you do not have to chase paperwork while you recover.
Miramar is in Broward County, which is part of Florida’s 17th Judicial Circuit. If a lawsuit becomes necessary, it would be filed in Broward County. The main courthouse is the Broward County Judicial Complex at 201 SE 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale, and there is also a South Regional Courthouse at 3550 Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood.
Most injury claims never reach a courtroom. Many are resolved through negotiation with the insurance company. Still, it matters that the insurer knows your lawyer is prepared to file in Broward if a fair offer does not come.
Miramar sits between Broward and Miami-Dade, and many residents spend a lot of time on highways and at work. That shapes the kinds of cases we see.
Because many Florida drivers carry little or no bodily injury coverage, your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage can make a real difference. Our guide on uninsured motorist coverage in Florida explains how it works.
The days right after a crash can feel chaotic. A few steps can protect both your health and your claim.
Florida also uses modified comparative negligence. If you are found partly at fault, your compensation is reduced by your share of fault, and if you are found more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing. That is one more reason to preserve evidence early.
For example (hypothetical): a nurse leaves work and heads east on Miramar Parkway. Near the I-75 interchange, traffic slows suddenly, and a pickup truck hits her from behind. She feels sore but goes home. Two days later her neck pain is worse, so she sees a doctor, well within the 14-day window.
Her PIP coverage begins paying part of her medical bills and lost wages. The truck driver’s insurer calls asking for a recorded statement. Instead, she calls a lawyer, who requests the Miramar Police report, gathers her medical records and checks whether her injury may meet Florida’s permanent injury threshold for pain and suffering. Every case is different, but this is how a claim often begins.
Our office is at 1909 Tyler Street, Suite 503, in downtown Hollywood, just off Hollywood Boulevard.
