Highway Accidents in Florida
Florida’s major highways, including SR-836 (Dolphin Expressway), often experience high traffic volumes, leading to an increased risk of crashes. Accidents at on-ramps and off-ramps are particularly common due to merging conflicts, sudden braking, and driver inattention.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles , thousands of highway crashes occur each year in the state, many resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. Contributing factors in these collisions often include speeding, driver distraction, and failure to yield at ramps and intersections.
For those injured in highway accidents, the impact can be physically, emotionally, and financially significant. Medical bills, lost income, and long-term rehabilitation are common challenges faced by victims. When another driver’s negligence or reckless actions contribute to a crash, injured victims may have legal options to seek compensation for their losses. Consulting with a professional can help individuals understand their rights.
