Florida Traffic Accidents
In the United States, every year, millions of car crashes are reported. Approximately 6 million vehicle accidents happen each year nationwide. These accidents cause about 3 million individuals to sustain injuries. Of these accidents, more than 35,000 people are killed per year. In Florida, hundreds of thousands of auto accidents are reported each year that injure over 100,000 people. More than 3,000 people lose their lives in Florida car accidents annually.
When you or a loved one has been seriously hurt in a car wreck, it is important to be able to determine how or why the incident occurred, especially if you know it was someone else’s fault. Drivers who act negligently cause millions of vehicle wrecks in the United States. Right now, driver distraction causes more auto accidents than any other type of driver negligence. This is most likely due to the rising popularity of smartphones.
