Car Accidents in Florida

Crashes occur every day in Florida, forcing innocent people to deal with lasting consequences. Many crashes are caused by reckless drivers. Some common examples of reckless driving include:

• Speeding well above the posted limit

• Tailgating or following too closely

• Running red lights and stop signs

• Frequent lane changes without signaling

• Engaging in street racing

Some of the most common injuries reported in collisions include:

• Trauma to the head: Head trauma can result in concussions, skull fractures, or traumatic brain injuries (TBI), potentially leading to long-term cognitive and physical impairments.

• Internal organ damage: High-impact collisions can cause internal bleeding and damage to organs such as the liver, kidneys, and lungs, often requiring immediate medical attention and surgery.

• Seatbelt injuries: While seatbelts save lives, they can also cause injuries such as bruising, cracked ribs, and abdominal injuries due to the force exerted during a crash.
