Traffic Hazards and Crash Risks on Florida’s Turnpike
Florida’s Turnpike is a critical transportation route for residents and travelers, often experiencing heavy traffic volume, particularly near urban centers like West Palm Beach. Crashes on high-speed roadways like SR-91 can cause serious injuries and significant delays, especially when lanes are blocked.
Lane-blocking accidents present increased risks for secondary collisions as approaching drivers may not have sufficient time to react. Speeding, sudden lane changes, and driver distraction are some of the most common factors contributing to crashes on major highways.
For those involved in serious highway collisions, the aftermath can be overwhelming, with medical expenses, vehicle damage, and legal complexities adding to the challenges. Understanding available options and seeking appropriate guidance can help accident victims navigate the recovery process.
