Car Accidents in Florida

Across Florida, interstate crashes like the recent one in Crestview highlight how common serious vehicle accidents can be. Florida consistently ranks among the states with the highest number of annual motor vehicle accidents, with more than 400,000 crashes reported each year. High-speed interstates often see multi-vehicle collisions that result in injuries requiring extensive medical care and recovery. It’s important for drivers to remain alert and practice safe driving habits at all times.

Understanding your options after a collision can make all the difference. Here are some common causes of car accidents you should be aware of:

  • Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or using in-car technologies can divert a driver’s attention from the road. Just a few seconds of distraction can result in a severe crash. Always keep your focus on driving and limit any activities that take your eyes or mind off the road.
  • Speeding: Driving above the speed limit reduces the time you have to react to other vehicles or hazards. Speeding also increases the force of impact in a collision, often causing more serious injuries. Always obey posted speed limits and adjust your speed in poor weather or heavy traffic.
  • Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug impairment remains a leading cause of car crashes in Florida. Even small amounts of alcohol can affect reaction times and judgment. Never get behind the wheel if you have been drinking or using any substance that may impair your ability to drive safely.
  • Weather Conditions: Florida’s sudden rain showers can create slick roads and lower visibility, making accidents more likely. Slow down when roads are wet, turn on your headlights, and leave extra space between your vehicle and others to reduce the risk of hydroplaning.

If you were hurt in a crash, it’s important to reach out to a trusted Crestview car accident attorney right away. Acting quickly means your lawyer can gather evidence, speak to witnesses, and handle communications with insurance adjusters on your behalf. This helps you focus on your recovery and can make a difference in the outcome of your claim. Don’t wait to get help if you’ve been injured due to another driver’s actions.
