Interstate Accidents in Florida
Florida’s highways, including I-75, are among the busiest roadways in the state, frequently seeing high-speed travel and heavy commuter traffic. Mile Marker 38, located in a less populated stretch of the interstate, can present challenges such as limited emergency access and high-speed merging.
Collisions on major highways often result from speeding, distracted driving, or sudden lane changes. When crashes block multiple lanes, the risk of secondary accidents increases, causing further congestion and delays. Drivers are urged to remain alert, maintain safe distances, and reduce speed in high-traffic areas to minimize accident risks.
For those injured in interstate crashes, seeking medical attention and understanding legal rights is essential. Florida law allows accident victims to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages resulting from another driver’s negligence.
