Car accidents in Florida take place nearly all the time. In fact, according to statistics from NHTSA, a reportable crash occurs about once every 92 seconds. This goes to show us that no motorist is ever truly safe from the potential effects of a dangerous or deadly accident on our roadways. With a high prevalence of negligent drivers, motorists in Florida should always be on the lookout for ways in which they can help avoid these catastrophic crashes from occurring.
