Fatal car accidents take place in Florida about once every three hours. Last year, approximately 3,000 lives were lost due to traffic collisions in our state. Sadly, many fatal Florida car accidents are avoidable and are caused due to the negligence of another motorist. Speeding, distraction, impairment, and reckless driving can all lead to catastrophic outcomes for crash victims.
