Dangerous Intersections in Florida: Who Is Responsible?

Intersections are among the most high-risk areas for accidents, especially when poor design, lack of traffic signals, or inadequate maintenance create hazardous conditions. In Florida, state and local governments are responsible for ensuring roads and intersections are safe for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

Unfortunately, many intersections in South Florida are notoriously dangerous, leading to severe crashes, injuries, and fatalities. If you or a loved one was injured in an accident caused by a poorly designed or hazardous intersection, you may have a case against the responsible municipality, county, or state agency.

Many intersection accidents happen due to design flaws, lack of maintenance, or poor traffic control measures, such as:

🚦 Lack of Traffic Lights or Stop Signs (leading to right-of-way confusion)
🚧 Uneven Pavement or Potholes (causing loss of vehicle control)
🚗 Sharp Curves or Poor Road Design (increasing risk of high-speed crashes)
🌧 Inadequate Drainage (leading to hydroplaning or flooding)
🌿 Overgrown Trees & Foliage (blocking visibility for drivers and pedestrians)
🚛 Poorly Marked Crosswalks or Bike Lanes (endangering pedestrians and cyclists)
🚙 Obstructed or Missing Signage (failing to warn of upcoming hazards)

When intersections lack proper safety measures, they can become deadly. Florida ranks among the top states for intersection-related accidents, with thousands of serious injuries and fatalities every year.

Filing a claim against a government agency for an intersection-related accident is complex and requires strong legal representation. Unlike standard car accident claims, cases involving municipalities or state authorities have strict deadlines and additional legal hurdles.
