Car Accidents in Florida
Car accidents are a frequent issue across Florida’s highways, particularly on high-traffic corridors such as I-95. Heavy congestion, lane changes, and distracted driving are common contributors to collisions during peak commuting hours.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), more than 390,000 vehicle crashes occurred statewide in 2023, resulting in over 250,000 injuries. Crashes on major highways, like I-95, can be especially dangerous due to high speeds and limited maneuverability. Blocked lanes not only delay traffic but also create additional risks for other drivers and emergency responders on the scene.
For victims of car accidents, injuries may range from minor to severe, often requiring immediate medical attention and follow-up care. The physical, emotional, and financial impact of a crash can be significant, with expenses for medical treatment, vehicle repairs, and lost income adding up quickly.
Florida law allows victims to pursue compensation for their injuries and damages caused by negligent drivers. Consulting professionals familiar with traffic laws and personal injury claims can help victims navigate the recovery process and secure the support they need.
