Car Accidents in Florida

Florida roads see a high number of serious crashes each year, many involving injury or loss. In 2023, there were over 390,000 crashes reported across the state, with more than 250,000 people injured. Accidents like the one in Land O’ Lakes often happen on local roads and intersections with moderate-to-heavy traffic, particularly during afternoon hours.

While injuries vary from case to case, many people suffer long-lasting harm. Today, we’re highlighting types of injuries often seen after vehicle accidents:

Neck and Back Injuries: Whiplash is common in rear-end crashes and can cause long-term pain and limited mobility. Herniated discs and other spinal damage may take time to surface, and recovery often requires physical therapy or surgery.
Broken Bones: Fractures are frequent in moderate or high-impact crashes. Arms, ribs, and legs are most often affected. Healing time varies and may include casting, physical rehab, or even surgical repair.
Internal Injuries: Seat belts save lives, but impact forces can cause damage to internal organs. These injuries may not be visible immediately but can be life-threatening without medical attention.
Facial Injuries: Deployed airbags, shattered glass, or impact with the steering wheel can lead to cuts, bruises, or broken bones in the face. Some of these injuries require reconstructive surgery.
Soft Tissue Damage: Strains, sprains, and bruising affect muscles and ligaments, often limiting movement and function. While not always visible, these injuries can be painful and long-lasting.
Psychological Trauma: Accidents can leave behind mental and emotional scars. Many survivors deal with anxiety, depression, or PTSD long after their physical injuries heal.
