Car Accidents in Florida
Motor vehicle accidents take place every day in Florida. These accidents add up to hundreds of thousands of injuries every year. In many cases, crashes are completely preventable. Distracted driving remains one of the leading causes of car accidents in Florida. Activities such as texting, eating, or fiddling with the radio can take a driver's focus off the road, leading to disastrous consequences. Speeding and reckless driving are also major contributors. Many drivers underestimate the dangers of exceeding speed limits or making aggressive maneuvers, which can easily result in loss of control and collisions.
In addition, weather conditions in Florida can be tricky to drive through. Heavy rain, fog, and even hurricanes can create hazardous driving conditions. Drivers often fail to adjust their driving to suit these conditions, leading to accidents.
