Serving accident victims across the Florida Keys
Nearly every serious crash in Monroe County happens on the Overseas Highway — U.S. 1 — the single two-lane lifeline running from Key Largo through Islamorada and Marathon, across the Seven Mile Bridge, down to Key West. Head-on collisions from risky passing, tourist and rental traffic, motorcycles, bicycles, and scooter riders in Key West all share one crowded road. When U.S. 1 closes for a wreck, the whole chain feels it.
Key West is the county seat, and injury cases for Monroe County residents are generally pursued in the county’s courts — Monroe County sits in Florida’s Sixteenth Judicial Circuit.

Monroe County injury FAQ
I was hit on the Overseas Highway by a tourist in a rental car. Now what?
Rental cars and out-of-state drivers are the norm in the Keys — and they add insurance layers most people never see. Moving quickly to identify every policy matters.
I was on a scooter or bicycle in Key West. Do I still have a claim?
Often, yes. Riders hit by cars can recover from the driver’s insurance — and sometimes from coverage you didn’t know applied. Don’t assume you have no case.
Do I need a lawyer based in the Keys?
No. You need a Florida trial lawyer who will actually fight your case. We serve Monroe County clients wherever they are on the chain — the consultation is free and remote-friendly.
