Car Accidents in Florida

Florida sees hundreds of thousands of motor vehicle crashes each year, many of which involve serious injuries. In 2023, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reported over 394,000 crashes statewide. A large number of these accidents occur on high-speed roadways like Interstate 75, where congested traffic and high speeds can quickly turn dangerous.

Understanding how these crashes happen and what to do afterward is vital. Here are some important insights about common injuries from car accidents:

Whiplash and Neck Injuries: A sudden jolt from a crash, especially rear-end collisions, often leads to soft tissue injuries like whiplash. These injuries may not show immediate symptoms but can worsen over time, requiring physical therapy or extended treatment.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even with a seatbelt, hitting your head on a window, headrest, or steering wheel can cause concussions or more severe brain trauma. TBIs can lead to long-term cognitive, behavioral, or motor function issues.
Back Injuries and Herniated Discs: Back injuries are among the most frequently reported conditions. Victims may experience limited mobility or chronic pain that interferes with daily activities and work life.
Fractures and Broken Bones: Accidents often cause broken limbs or ribs due to the force of impact. Some fractures require surgery and months of recovery, affecting a person’s independence and routine.
Psychological Trauma: Beyond physical injuries, many individuals experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD after a serious car crash. Mental health care can be an important part of the recovery process.
