Florida experiences a reportable crash about every 92 seconds. This means that the odds of being involved in a crash at some given point in time are quite high for all motorists. A Florida car accident can affect not only those who are directly part of the incident but also innocent bystanders who merely find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. Negligent driving can have catastrophic consequences for a wide variety of unintended victims.
