A Florida car accident occurs about once every 92 seconds. This means that no one is ever truly safe from being injured or even killed in a car accident in our state. While many people develop a false sense of security while in a vehicle, it is important to never take safety for granted and to drive carefully and cautiously at all times. 

Our thoughts are with the injured victims of this Sarasota car accident. We hope for a complete and speedy recovery from their injuries.
