Hialeah

Hialeah, Florida is the city with the highest Cuban-American population in the United States, with 74% of the residents being of Cuban descent, and 90% of the population speaking Spanish at home. The large influx of Cuban-Americans can be traced back to the late 1950’s, where political unrest would cause huge numbers of Cuban families to emigrate to the United States in a series of waves. Since then, the city of Hialeah has become one of the most successful immigrant enclaves in the United States. One Princeton professor says that it is the only industry city in the U.S. that continues to grow. Businesses of all sizes, from “mom and pop” type small businesses to major corporations such as Telemundo are based out of Hialeah. A city with booming business has a large number of very active and dedicated workers who typically rely on their independent transportation to travel to and from work. High volumes of drivers on the limited roadways in Hialeah and Miami-Dade county are factors that contribute to the risk of auto accidents. Other risk factors include:

• Driving distracted
• Texting and driving
• Driving under the influence
• Road rage
• Inexperienced drivers
• Driver fatigue

When drivers exhibit these behaviors, their negligence greatly increases the risk of collision with other vehicles on the road. Automotive collisions are very serious despite the everyday, mundane feeling associated with driving. Since most of us do it daily, we are not accustomed to perceiving driving as risky behavior, however the statistics show that car accidents are very common. Fatal accidents are rare, but injuries are more frequent. Common injuries typically associated with auto accidents include:

• Burns and scars
• Head injuries
• Joint, muscle, neck, back and bone injuries
• Knee and joint damage
• Whiplash
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• Loss of limbs
• Permanent disability
• Wrongful Death

These injuries can range from minor aches and pains all the way to permanent disfigurement or wrongful death. Injuries on the more severe side of the scale can bestow a tremendous amount of emotional and financial pressure on the individual affected as well as their family. If the primary income earner in a household is severely injured in an auto accident, they may not be able to work and generate income to provide for their family with. This can send an entire family from stability to danger in a matter of seconds. It is impossible to prepare for a car accident, but it is possible to protect yourself and your loved ones after.
