Last year in Florida, more than 3,000 people tragically lost their lives in accidents that took place on our roadways. A car accident in Florida can bring devastating consequences both to victims and their families. Sadly, many of these crashes occur due to driver negligence or error. All it takes is a single wrong move to cause a crash that can result in death or serious injuries to innocent victims.
