Car Accidents in Florida

Each year, Florida sees hundreds of thousands of motor vehicle accidents, many of which result in serious injuries. According to data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were more than 390,000 traffic crashes reported in 2023 alone. These incidents often occur on urban roads and at intersections, similar to the one in Navarre. Understanding the factors that lead to these events helps communities and officials work toward improving safety.

When injuries occur, victims often face numerous physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Here's what you should know about common causes of car accidents:

  • Distracted Driving: This is one of the leading causes of crashes across the state. Whether it's texting, adjusting the radio, or using in-car technology, taking your attention off the road for even a few seconds can lead to severe outcomes. Florida law now prohibits texting while driving, but distractions remain a constant threat.
  • Speeding: Driving above the posted speed limit or too fast for conditions increases both the likelihood and severity of a crash. Speeding reduces reaction time and can make it harder to avoid collisions, especially on wet or narrow roads.
  • Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, coordination, and reaction time. Despite public awareness campaigns and strict DUI laws, impaired driving still contributes to many serious and fatal crashes every year in Florida.
  • Failure to Yield: Misjudging right-of-way rules at intersections often leads to T-bone or side-impact collisions. These types of crashes are particularly dangerous and can cause major injuries to occupants on the struck side of the vehicle.
  • Following Too Closely: Tailgating leaves drivers with little room to react if the car in front stops suddenly. This can result in rear-end collisions, which are among the most common accident types and often lead to whiplash or back injuries.
