As it now stands, the 826 extends from South Dade south of the Merrick Park Mall to Sunny Isles Beach. Depending on where you enter and exit, the Palmetto could go north and south or east and west.

Palmetto Expressway Construction Accidents in Miami

In addition to these types of accidents, some people are injured because of the never-ending construction on various parts of the Palmetto. If you were injured because of construction site negligence such as improperly place barriers, failure to warn, uneven roads or debris figuring out who is responsible can be tricky. Often the investigation includes review site plans, proposals, construction logs and even an investigator on site. Most records for public road projects are available through a Public Records Act request under Florida Statue Chapter 119.

After the records are acquired, then those documents need to be reviewed. That review is usually an expert that will work with our Car Accident Lawyers in Miami to figure out if the general contractor or someone else is responsible. Sometimes, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is the at-fault party. The Palmetto Expressway Accident Attorneys of Miami at Wolfson & Leon have handled these types of cases and are available to speak with you at (305) 285-1115 anytime.
