Florida is one of the most dangerous states in the nation for motorists. According to statistics, a car accident in Florida takes place about once every 92 seconds. While no one ever expects to be involved in an injury accident, the reality is that these crashes take place hundreds of times every day and innocent victims can be affected. 

We would like to offer our thoughts and hopes for a complete recovery to the victims of this car accident in Cape Coral.
