Car Accidents in Florida

Florida ranks among the states with the highest number of traffic collisions each year. With millions of residents and tourists using its roadways, the risk of serious crashes remains a daily reality. Data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shows over 390,000 traffic crashes took place in the state in 2023 alone, resulting in thousands of injuries and fatalities.

When people are injured in crashes, many questions follow. To help, here’s information on some of the most common injuries seen in Florida car accidents:

Spinal Cord Injuries: These injuries can have life-altering consequences, leading to partial or full paralysis. Victims may require long-term care, adaptive equipment, or modifications to their home and vehicle. Immediate medical attention is critical in minimizing long-term complications.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): TBIs can range from concussions to severe brain damage. They often result in cognitive and emotional challenges. Victims may struggle with memory, mood regulation, and concentration, affecting both work and relationships.
Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These injuries are particularly common in rear-end collisions. Though sometimes considered “minor,” whiplash can lead to chronic pain and reduced range of motion. Physical therapy and ongoing treatment are often required.
Broken Bones and Fractures: High-impact crashes frequently result in fractures. Recovery may include surgery, immobilization, and rehabilitation. Depending on the location and severity, these injuries can temporarily or permanently impact a person’s mobility and quality of life.
Internal Injuries: Damage to internal organs is not always immediately visible. Injuries to the lungs, liver, or spleen can be life-threatening and may require emergency surgery. Internal bleeding is especially dangerous if not diagnosed quickly.
