Deadly crashes occur in Florida about once every three hours. Unfortunately, negligent and careless drivers are responsible for many lives lost every year in Florida. Driving under the influence is a major cause of many serious and fatal crashes in our state. There is nothing more heartbreaking and devastating than the loss of a loved one in a Florida traffic accident. When the loss occurs at the hands of another motorist, the tragedy is even greater.
