Florida Car Accidents
Every year in the United States, millions of car crashes are reported, with approximately 6 million vehicle accidents occurring nationwide. These accidents result in around 3 million injuries and, tragically, over 35,000 fatalities annually. In Florida alone, hundreds of thousands of car accidents are reported each year, injuring more than 100,000 people and claiming the lives of over 3,000 individuals.
When you or a loved one is seriously hurt in a car accident, it’s crucial to understand how and why the incident happened—especially if it was caused by someone else’s negligence. Careless driving contributes to millions of car crashes in the U.S. each year, and right now, driver distraction is the leading cause, often linked to the widespread use of smartphones.
If you can determine that another person caused your accident—or even if you might have played a partial role—you could be eligible for significant financial compensation to cover most of the costs associated with your accident. Filing a personal injury claim with an attorney can provide the support you need to secure compensation for wage loss, vehicle repairs, medical expenses, and more.
