Home to some of the world’s best known fishing and scuba diving, particularly in John Pennekamp Park; Monroe County’s most well-known city is Key West, sometimes called the Conch Republic. The islands, called Keys, that make up the majority of Monroe County include Key West, Marathon, Key Colony Beach, Layton, Islamorada, Cudjoe Key, Big Pine Key, Duck Key-which is home to Hawks Cay, Tavernier, Key Largo, Flamingo, Bay Pint and Sugarloaf Shores.

There are approximately 1400 car accidents each year in Monroe County, which unfortunately result in an annual average of 20 wrongful deaths. The personal injury cases arising from those car accidents, and every other type of accident in Monroe County, are resolved within the courtrooms at the Monroe County Courthouses, identified as Florida’s 16th Judicial Circuit. Given the large geographic distances between cities within Monroe County, those courthouses are located in three separate locations: 302 Fleming Street, Key West, 3117 Overseas Highway, Marathon and 88820 Overseas Highway, Tavernier.
