Car Accidents in Florida

Florida continues to report high numbers of vehicle-related accidents each year. In 2023, the state documented over 390,000 crashes, many resulting in serious injuries and fatalities. With so many cars on the road each day, even a small lapse in attention or judgment can lead to a dangerous situation.

As we examine causes behind many of these crashes, it's important to highlight common weather-related driving hazards:

  • Heavy Rainfall and Slick Roads: Florida often experiences sudden and heavy downpours. These can quickly create slick road surfaces and reduce tire traction, increasing the chance of hydroplaning. Drivers may also struggle to see clearly during intense rainfall, adding further risk.
  • Flooding and Pooled Water: Accumulated water on roadways can hide potholes or debris and cause vehicles to lose control. Even a few inches of water can result in a driver losing traction or stalling out.
  • Fog and Low Visibility: Fog can settle over highways and local roads during early mornings or after sunset, drastically reducing visibility. In such conditions, brake lights and turn signals become harder to see, making collisions more likely.
  • Hurricane Aftereffects: In the wake of tropical storms or hurricanes, roads may be cluttered with branches, downed power lines, or unstable surfaces. These factors can lead to serious vehicle damage or accidents if not navigated carefully.
  • Wind Gusts: Strong coastal winds, especially in the Gulf region, can affect vehicle stability—particularly for larger vehicles like trucks or SUVs. These winds can push vehicles out of their lanes or make it difficult to maintain control.
