Car Accidents in Florida
Florida’s highways, including major routes like I-295, frequently experience traffic crashes due to high-speed travel, congestion, and driver-related factors. Common causes of highway accidents include distracted driving, following too closely, improper lane changes, and sudden braking.
Under Florida’s no-fault insurance laws, injured victims typically seek compensation through their personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, which helps cover medical expenses regardless of fault. However, in cases involving severe injuries, victims may be able to pursue additional claims against at-fault parties to recover further damages.
Authorities encourage drivers to remain alert, maintain safe following distances, and adhere to posted speed limits to reduce accident risks, particularly on high-traffic corridors like I-295. Defensive driving can significantly lower the likelihood of collisions.
