Car Accidents in Florida
Car crashes are a frequent occurrence in Florida, with thousands of accidents reported each year. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were over 401,000 crashes statewide in a recent year, resulting in more than 252,000 injuries.

Understanding what to do after a crash can help victims protect their rights. Here are key steps to take following an accident:
- Seek Medical Attention: Even if injuries seem minor, it’s important to get checked by a doctor. Some injuries, like concussions or internal trauma, may not be immediately apparent.
- Report the Crash: Contact law enforcement so that an official report is filed. This documentation is crucial for insurance claims and legal action.
- Gather Evidence: Take photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries. Exchange information with other drivers and collect witness statements if possible.
- Avoid Admitting Fault: Even casual statements at the scene can be used against you later. Let investigators determine the cause of the accident.
- Contact a Lawyer: An experienced attorney can help navigate the legal process and ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries and damages.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a crash, speaking with a Largo car accident attorney as soon as possible is crucial.
