Car Accidents in Florida

Florida consistently experiences a high volume of motor vehicle accidents. Reports from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles show that there were more than 380,000 accidents across the state in 2023, resulting in over 250,000 injuries. With a large number of drivers on Florida roads daily, even cautious motorists can find themselves involved in accidents caused by the carelessness of others.

Understanding what to expect after a car accident can help victims better prepare for the challenges ahead:

Filing a Police Report: After any crash, especially hit-and-run incidents, filing a police report is critical. This documentation becomes crucial for insurance claims and any legal action that follows.
Seeking Medical Attention: Injuries from crashes are not always immediately apparent. Getting evaluated by a medical professional ensures your health is prioritized and creates important records for your case.
Gathering Evidence: If it is safe, taking photos of the scene, your vehicle, and any visible injuries can greatly help later claims.
Notifying Your Insurance Company: Reporting the accident to your insurance provider quickly is essential. Some policies require notification within a short window of time.
Consulting an Attorney: Hit-and-run cases, especially those involving injuries, can be complicated. An attorney can guide you through the next steps and work to hold the responsible driver accountable.
