Car Accidents in Florida

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Florida continues to experience high numbers of vehicle-related injuries each year. In 2023 alone, over 250,000 people were hurt in crashes across the state. Accidents along rural highways like SR-285 can be especially dangerous due to high speeds and limited visibility in certain stretches.

Knowing what to do after an accident can make a major difference in your recovery. Here are several key things to consider:

  • Stay at the Scene and Remain Calm: Always remain at the crash site unless emergency transport is required. Cooperate with authorities and provide your account of what happened.
  • Get Checked by a Medical Professional: Even if you feel fine, injuries like concussions or internal trauma can show up later. A thorough medical evaluation helps identify any hidden problems early.
  • Exchange Information Safely: Collect the name, insurance information, license plate number, and contact details of any other involved drivers. If possible, write down what you remember while it's fresh.
  • Request and Keep a Copy of the Police Report: The police report can provide essential details needed for claims or legal action. Make sure you know how to request a copy from the responding agency.
  • Consult a Trusted Attorney Before Speaking to Insurance: Insurance companies often try to settle quickly for less than what a claim may be worth. Speak to a car accident attorney before agreeing to any offers or providing recorded statements.
  • Follow All Medical Advice and Document Everything: Stick to your doctor’s treatment plan and maintain records of every appointment, prescription, and expense related to the crash.
