Car Accidents in Florida

Florida roads witness a high number of accidents each year, with over 390,000 crashes reported statewide. These incidents result in more than 250,000 injuries, affecting countless drivers and passengers. Factors such as high traffic volume, distracted driving, and speeding contribute to the frequency of these crashes.

Understanding driver errors that lead to accidents can help prevent future collisions. Some common mistakes include:

  • Failure to Yield – Many accidents happen when drivers do not give the right of way at intersections or while merging.
  • Running Red Lights or Stop Signs – Ignoring traffic signals can lead to dangerous side-impact collisions at intersections.
  • Improper Lane Changes – Failing to check blind spots or signal before switching lanes often results in crashes.
  • Following Too Closely – Tailgating reduces reaction time, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions.
  • Driving Under the Influence – Alcohol and drugs impair judgment and coordination, making crashes far more likely.
