In Florida, about 40 car crashes occur every hour, and roughly 40% of these incidents result in injuries to at least one person involved. For instance, each day in the Sunshine State, approximately 1,100 car accidents are reported, with around 450 of these leading to injuries. Being hurt in a car accident can be an incredibly stressful and challenging experience. If you or a loved one has recently been injured in a crash, you may be eligible to pursue financial compensation to help you rebuild your life.

A skilled and compassionate attorney will not only help you seek proper medical treatment for your injuries but also connect you with the right therapists for your emotional well-being, as well as any other professional services you may need following the accident. While the need for various types of assistance can feel overwhelming, it also means you may be entitled to financial compensation to cover these expenses, especially if another driver’s negligence caused your accident.
Driver negligence is both illegal and alarmingly common across the United States. In fact, around 95% of reported car crashes nationwide are attributed to some form of driver negligence. Dangerous behaviors like drunk driving, drug use, distraction, fatigue, and excessive speed are major contributors to these accidents. This means it’s highly possible that your crash was due to the actions of a negligent driver.
Even if you believe you bear partial responsibility for the accident, you may still qualify for financial compensation. For example, if you are found to be 30% at fault, you may still recover up to 70% of the total compensation available for your injuries and losses.
