Car Accidents in Florida

Vehicle crashes remain a major concern in Florida. In 2023, over 390,000 crashes were reported across the state, leading to more than 250,000 injuries. Intersections like West Jackson Street and North Fairfield Drive are especially common sites for crashes due to their high traffic volume. Agencies such as the Florida Highway Patrol continue to respond to and investigate these incidents daily.

Accidents often leave more than just physical marks. Here’s a closer look at common causes of crashes across the state:

  • Distracted Driving: This remains one of the leading causes of crashes. Using a phone, adjusting the radio, or eating while driving can reduce reaction times and increase crash risk significantly.
  • Speeding: Exceeding posted speed limits or driving too fast for road conditions often contributes to accidents. Higher speeds reduce a driver’s ability to stop in time and intensify the force of impact.
  • Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drugs impair judgment, coordination, and reaction time. Impaired driving continues to be a major factor in both fatal and injury-related crashes statewide.
  • Failure to Yield or Obey Traffic Signals: Ignoring traffic lights or failing to yield at intersections can lead to side-impact crashes and serious injuries. These are often preventable with increased driver awareness.
  • Weather Conditions: Rain and poor visibility can make roads slick and difficult to navigate. Drivers must adjust their speed and attention to changing weather to avoid losing control.
  • Aggressive Driving: Tailgating, unsafe lane changes, and road rage increase the chance of collisions. Maintaining patience and following traffic laws can help reduce these incidents.
