Car Accidents in Florida

Every year in Florida, thousands of residents are injured in vehicle accidents across urban, suburban, and rural communities. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reports that in 2023, the state saw over 390,000 crashes, leading to more than 250,000 injuries and thousands of fatalities. These collisions range from minor fender benders to severe multi-vehicle incidents with long-term consequences for victims and their families.

Understanding your rights and the claims process is important. Below are common financial impacts of injury accidents:

Lost Wages: Many accident victims are unable to work for days, weeks, or longer. This can lead to missed paychecks and financial strain, especially for those without sick leave or disability insurance.
Medical Expenses: Emergency room visits, surgeries, therapy, and prescription drugs all add up quickly. Even with insurance, out-of-pocket costs can overwhelm families trying to recover.
Vehicle Repairs or Replacement: Damaged vehicles may need extensive repairs or be declared a total loss. Insurance may not always cover the full cost, especially with deductibles or disputes over fault.
Transportation Costs: While waiting for your car to be repaired or replaced, you may have to pay for rentals, rideshares, or rely on public transportation. These added costs can disrupt your daily routine.
Long-Term Disability or Accommodations: Some injuries result in lasting disabilities. Adjustments may be needed at home or work, such as mobility devices, home modifications, or career changes, further impacting your financial stability.
