We Represent Motorcycle Accident Victims in Opa-Locka, FLOpa-Locka was founded by the Father of Naval Aviation, Glenn Hammond Curtiss. It is a city of just over 4 square miles in Miami-Dade County. Its boundaries are NW 151st Street, NW 47th Avenue, and NW 17th Avenue. The southern border is jagged and comprised of E 65th Street and NW 135th Street. The urban community was chartered in May 1926. The area where the community was established was originally named Opa-tisha-wocka-locka by the Seminole Native Americans. Curtiss developed the city with the theme of Arabian Nights and utilized Moorish architecture. As of 2018, the city had a population of more than 16,300 people.
Long gone are the days when Opa-Locka began as a planned community. Now, the community is crisscrossed by several major roads and accessible from several highways. The small city sees a fair amount of traffic, which increases the risk of auto accidents, including motorcycle crashes.
