Car Accidents in Florida

In 2023, Florida reported more than 252,000 injuries resulting from car accidents. These crashes often leave victims needing extensive medical treatments and requiring significant time away from work to recover. The combination of high medical bills and lost income can create a heavy financial burden for both individuals and their families. Some of the most common injuries from car accidents in our state include:

  • Internal organ injuries: These injuries occur when the impact of the crash damages organs such as the liver, spleen, or kidneys. Internal bleeding is a serious risk, and immediate medical attention is often required.
  • Head trauma: Injuries to the head can vary from concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries. These can happen due to direct impact or the sudden stop during a collision, leading to long-term health issues.
  • Severe compound fractures: These are breaks where the bone pierces the skin, causing extreme pain and a higher chance of infection. Treatment for these injuries is often complex and lengthy.

Unfortunately, many of these accidents happen because of other drivers' careless actions, such as distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence. When someone is injured in a crash through no fault of their own, it is essential to know their rights. A Pensacola car accident attorney can help you file a personal injury claim to seek compensation for the injuries and damages you have suffered.
