Florida Car Accidents

 Jacksonville, FL - Teenage Boy was Killed in Wreck on J Turner Butler Blvd near Southside BlvdTraffic accidents in Florida are extremely common. On average, the state sees over 400,000 vehicle collisions per year. Of these incidents, over 150,000 people sustain injuries while more than 3,200 lose their lives. Auto accidents are a serious problem in the United States and have become more prevalent in the past ten years. 

Driver negligence causes the majority of auto accidents in the United States. Drivers who are distracted, fatigued, and intoxicated cause millions of traffic collisions every year in the US. In Florida, the leading cause of car wrecks is speeding, a hazardous form of driver negligence. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that over 90% of vehicle wrecks reported in the United States are the result of driver negligence. 

When you or someone you love is hurt by a negligent driver, it can be overwhelmingly stressful. Your injuries may be painful and debilitating, keeping you from working and living your life the way you’re used to. You may be wondering where you can turn for help, especially if the crash that caused your injuries was the fault of another person. 

You need to contact a personal injury lawyer if you were injured in a car wreck caused by negligence. The only thing worse than being hurt in a crash is losing someone you love in the same manner. A wrongful death attorney in Jacksonville can help you file a wrongful death claim so you can get financial compensation for the damages related to your loved one’s accident.

When a negligent driver causes an auto crash that injures other people, those injured victims and their loved ones are often eligible to collect financial compensation that helps pay for the cost of medical care, vehicle repairs, funeral costs, and more. The wages you lose while you’re stuck in the hospital may be able to be reimbursed to you. You may even qualify for compensation for the pain and suffering you endured, depending on the nature of your accident.
