Florida Car Crashes
Florida’s roads see an alarming number of crashes every year. In 2023 alone, more than 400,000 traffic collisions were reported statewide, resulting in thousands of injuries that left victims and families facing painful recoveries and lasting challenges. From crowded interstates to busy city streets in places like Gainesville, Orlando, and Miami, the combination of heavy traffic, unpredictable weather, and driver negligence makes Florida one of the most dangerous states for motorists.
Car accident injuries can range from broken bones and whiplash to catastrophic conditions such as spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries. Beyond the physical pain, victims often face months of medical treatment, time away from work, and mounting expenses that can put intense strain on families already struggling to cope.
Unfortunately, many of these crashes are preventable. Distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, and reckless maneuvers remain leading causes of serious accidents in Florida. When negligence leads to injury, victims have the right to seek accountability and compensation.
