Car Accidents in Florida
Highways like I-295 in Jacksonville experience frequent collisions due to high traffic volumes, lane changes, and speed variations. Accidents that result in blocked lanes can create additional hazards, increasing the risk of secondary crashes.
Victims of highway accidents may face medical expenses, vehicle damage, and lost wages due to their injuries. Florida’s no-fault insurance laws allow drivers to seek compensation through their personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, but in more severe cases, further legal action may be necessary. Understanding one’s rights is crucial for those affected by serious accidents.
To help reduce the risk of collisions, drivers should remain alert, maintain safe speeds, and avoid distractions. However, when crashes occur, knowing where to turn for support can make a significant difference in recovery.
