Driver inexperience is just one of several possible factors that can contribute to traffic accidents occurring in Kendall, Kendall Lakes, or any other area in South Florida. Many car crashes happen as a direct result of driver negligence. Under Florida law, negligence is defined conduct that is below the degree of care a reasonable person would use under like circumstances. Driver negligence might include speeding, tailgating, running a red light or failing to yield. Distracted and drowsy driving are also common driver mistakes that can result in a collision occurring. Other Examples of breach of the duty of care can be violation of safety rules, traffic laws, or behavior that is unreasonably careless such that no reasonable driver would take such actions.

Unfortunately, drunk driving is also one of the most dangerous kinds of driver negligence and is far too common in Kendall car accidents and in wrecks throughout Miami-Dade County. In 2011 alone, 58 of the 249 fatalities in Miami-Dade involved drugs or alcohol. There were 13 accidents in Kendall that were described as having involved alcohol use. Accident victims are entitled to receive compensation for their injuries. However, Florida law requires that car accident victims sustain a permanent injury to recover for pain and suffering. Florida law also requires drivers to carry their own insurance to pay for their own medical bills and expenses regardless of fault. Also referred to as PIP, all Florida vehicle owners are required to carry no fault insurance. Common auto accidents arise from:

Kendall is located in Miami-Dade County, which was the site of 42,171 of the traffic accidents that occurred in the state of Florida in 2011. In Miami-Dade County, 248 people lost their lives in the wrecks that happened over the course of the year. More than 470 of the wrecks occurred specifically in Kendall.

Communities within the area designated as Kendall include County Walk, Kendall West and The Hammocks. In these communities, there are more than 11,000 Columbian Americans amidst the population of 75,266. Kendall is served by the Miami Metrorail, but many residents and visitors still drive through the area. Unfortunately, this means that there is a risk of car accidents within the unincorporated area.

Kendall is home to universities including Kaplan University, Keiser College, Miami-Dade College and Nova Southeastern University. The relatively young demographic the area has a median age of 37 may help to explain why there were so many crashes in the area as younger and more inexperienced drivers may be more likely to become involved in auto accidents.
