Car Accidents in Florida

Florida’s roadways see a significant number of accidents each year, with intersections and major highways being common locations for crashes. In a recent year, more than 400,000 traffic collisions were reported statewide, many resulting in injuries or fatalities. US-41 is a frequently traveled roadway, making it a hotspot for accidents due to congestion and varying speed limits.

Here are some common causes of accidents in Florida:

Failure to Yield: Many crashes occur when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way, especially at intersections where vehicles are merging or turning.
Distracted Driving: Using cell phones, adjusting the radio, or engaging in other distractions can lead to serious accidents. Even a moment of inattention can be dangerous.
Speeding: Exceeding posted speed limits reduces reaction time and increases the likelihood of severe injuries in a crash.
Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment and coordination, making DUI-related accidents a major concern on Florida roads.
Aggressive Driving: Tailgating, weaving between lanes, and road rage incidents contribute to many avoidable crashes each year.
