Highway Crashes in Florida
Florida’s major highways, such as I-95, are vital arteries for commuters and commercial transportation, but they are also prone to frequent accidents. In 2023, the state recorded over 400,000 vehicle crashes, with a considerable portion occurring on busy interstates like I-95, which spans the length of the East Coast.
Highway crashes often involve factors such as speeding, driver fatigue, or distracted driving. Staying alert, maintaining a safe following distance, and adhering to posted speed limits are critical to reducing the likelihood of accidents. Florida’s no-fault insurance laws enable victims to seek initial medical coverage, but those with significant injuries often pursue additional legal avenues to recover compensation for expenses and losses.
