South Florida is one of the most visited destinations in the United States, drawing tens of millions of tourists annually to its beaches, theme parks, cruise ports, hotels, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The region's economy is built substantially on the hospitality and tourism industries, which means that at any given moment the roads, waterways, sidewalks, and commercial properties of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties are populated by a mix of permanent residents, seasonal visitors, and tourists from around the world - all with varying degrees of familiarity with local conditions and traffic patterns. This environment creates a distinctive and complex personal injury landscape that sets South Florida apart from most other American jurisdictions.
