Car Accidents in Florida

Florida experiences a high number of vehicle crashes each year, with thousands of injuries and fatalities reported. According to state data, distracted driving, speeding, and failure to yield are among the leading causes of collisions. Many accidents occur at intersections, where traffic flow and visibility can be challenging.

Understanding how accidents occur can help drivers take precautions. Here are some common causes of crashes in Florida:

  • Failure to Yield: Many collisions happen when drivers fail to yield the right-of-way at intersections or merging lanes. This can lead to side-impact crashes or even multi-vehicle pileups.
  • Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or adjusting in-car controls while driving can lead to severe accidents. Even a few seconds of inattention can have devastating consequences.
  • Speeding: Driving above the speed limit or too fast for road conditions reduces reaction time and increases crash severity. High-speed crashes are more likely to result in serious injuries.
  • Weather Conditions: Rain, fog, and slippery roads contribute to accidents, especially when drivers fail to adjust their speed or following distance.
  • Running Red Lights & Stop Signs: Ignoring traffic signals is a leading cause of intersection crashes, often resulting in T-bone collisions.
