Last year in Florida, approximately 3,000 people were killed in car accidents that took place across our state. Sadly, many of these victims will lose their lives due to the actions of third parties. Negligent drivers play a key role in many Florida car accidents and even a single instance of negligence can result in a catastrophic event with life-changing consequences.
