Fall in Miami: Why Shorter Days Can Mean More Car Accidents
Fall doesn’t bring crisp leaves and chilly weather to Miami—but it does bring one big change: shorter days. As daylight hours fade, more drivers are commuting in the dark, navigating glare at sunset, and adjusting to busier fall traffic with tourists, events, and back-to-school routines. These seasonal shifts create more opportunities for car accidents—and knowing what to do after a crash matters more than ever.
At Pezon Law, we help clients understand how seasonal changes affect liability, evidence, and claims. Because it’s not just about the accident itself—it’s about protecting your rights when the unexpected happens.
Why Fall Brings More Accidents in Miami
Reduced daylight: Drivers face more nighttime driving and harsher glare during evening rush hour.
Increased traffic: Tourists, seasonal residents (“snowbirds”), and event-goers crowd Miami roads.
Distracted drivers: Busy schedules and holiday planning add to already high distraction levels.
Weather shifts: Afternoon storms and slick streets create hazards, especially with less light.
Each of these factors makes proof of fault harder—and that’s where legal counsel comes in.
How Florida Law Sees Fall Accidents
In Florida, car accident cases are governed by comparative negligence. That means:
If both drivers share blame, fault is split into percentages.
You can only recover damages if you’re less than 51% at fault.
Insurance companies often use seasonal conditions (like glare or weather) to shift blame onto victims.
At Pezon Law, we investigate beyond the surface—examining traffic camera footage, witness statements, and road conditions to show what really caused the crash.
