Car Accidents in Florida

Florida sees a high volume of motor vehicle accidents each year, with thousands of injury crashes reported across the state. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, more than 390,000 traffic crashes occurred in 2023 alone, leading to over 250,000 injuries. These numbers highlight the ongoing risks faced by drivers throughout the state.

When it comes to recovering from a crash, understanding common injuries is vital. Below are several types of injuries often sustained in collisions:

  • Whiplash and Neck Injuries: Sudden impact often leads to neck strain or whiplash, especially in rear-end crashes. Victims may experience stiffness, pain, or limited range of motion that can persist for weeks or longer. Treatment usually includes physical therapy, rest, and sometimes pain management.
  • Concussions and Head Trauma: Even low-speed crashes can result in the head hitting parts of the vehicle interior, leading to concussions or more serious traumatic brain injuries. Symptoms can include dizziness, confusion, memory issues, and in severe cases, long-term cognitive problems.
  • Back and Spinal Cord Injuries: The force from a crash can compress or damage vertebrae and discs, resulting in chronic pain or mobility limitations. More severe injuries may involve partial or complete paralysis and require extensive rehabilitation or surgery.
  • Broken Bones and Fractures: Arms, legs, ribs, and facial bones are often vulnerable in a collision. Recovery depends on the severity and location of the break, with some cases needing surgery and months of healing.
  • Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma can cause unseen damage to organs such as the liver, spleen, or lungs. These injuries can be life-threatening and require immediate medical intervention, often including surgery.
