Fatal Car Accidents in Florida

Florida experiences thousands of deadly crashes annually, with many occurring at intersections. According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), over 3,000 fatal crashes took place statewide in 2023. These accidents leave families facing unimaginable loss and financial hardship.

Several factors commonly contribute to fatal crashes, including:

Speeding: Higher speeds increase the severity of crashes, making it more difficult for drivers to react in time to avoid a collision.
Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or any activity that takes a driver’s attention away from the road can have fatal consequences.
Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drug use significantly affect reaction time and decision-making, leading to many fatal crashes each year.
Failure to Yield: Running red lights or failing to give the right-of-way at intersections often leads to deadly collisions.
