Car Accidents in Florida

Florida sees thousands of traffic accidents each year, with many leading to serious injuries or fatalities. Data shows that over 400,000 crashes occur annually across the state, often due to factors like driver inattention, reckless behavior, or poor road conditions.

Understanding what leads to these accidents is key to improving roadway safety. Below are some of the most common mistakes that contribute to crashes:

  • Following Too Closely – Tailgating reduces a driver's ability to stop in time, often leading to rear-end collisions that can cause significant injuries.
  • Ignoring Traffic Signals – Running red lights or stop signs can result in severe T-bone accidents, particularly at busy intersections.
  • Driving While Fatigued – Drowsy driving impairs reaction time and decision-making, similar to the effects of alcohol impairment.
  • Improper Lane Changes: Failure to signal or check blind spots before switching lanes can lead to dangerous sideswipe crashes.
  • Defective Vehicle Parts – Malfunctioning brakes, worn-out tires, or faulty steering systems increase the risk of losing control on the road.
