Common Hazards on Florida’s Highways
Florida highways, including I-75, are notorious for high-speed traffic and a mix of local and out-of-state drivers. Due to the heavy volume of vehicles, accidents on interstates are common, often caused by reckless driving, lane changes without signaling, and rear-end collisions.
Weather conditions and roadway distractions also play a role in highway crashes, making it imperative for drivers to stay alert. Speeding remains a leading contributor to serious injury crashes, especially during early morning and late-night hours.
Individuals injured in highway accidents should seek medical attention immediately and document the scene if possible. Those affected by crashes caused by reckless or negligent drivers may have legal options to recover damages.
