Each year, there are approximately 250,000 injury accidents in Florida. This number places our state near the top of the nation when it comes to the highest number of injury accidents. While most people would like to feel safe when they are in their vehicles, the reality is that injury crashes occur multiple times per day and often affect innocent victims. Given the number of negligent drivers in Florida, all motorists should use extreme care and caution and be aware of their surroundings in order to reduce their chances of being involved in a potentially catastrophic accident.
