Car Accidents in Florida
Florida’s highways, including I-95, are high-risk areas for vehicle accidents, especially in express lanes where high speeds and limited merging opportunities can increase the likelihood of collisions. Traffic congestion, sudden lane changes, and driver distraction are common factors contributing to these crashes.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), thousands of accidents occur on the state’s roadways each year, with many resulting in serious injuries. Roadblocks from crashes can also create additional hazards, increasing the risk of secondary collisions.
For those injured in a crash, seeking medical attention is essential, even if injuries seem minor. Additionally, understanding legal rights can help victims recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Consulting with a legal professional can provide guidance on the next steps after an accident.
