Florida is a dangerous state for motorists. According to statistics, our state accounts for about 6.2% of all car accidents reported in the United States, with approximately 400,000 crashes per year. A Florida car accident can result in devastating injuries and a long recovery period. Many of these crashes are caused by negligent drivers and affect the lives of innocent victims.
