Car Accidents in Florida
A significant amount of injuries in Florida take place due to car accidents every year. This is why car accidents are one of the leading causes of injuries within the state. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, approximately 255,353 people were injured in car accidents in 2018 alone. Too few accident victims understand that they have options after they have been harmed in a collision that is not their fault. Being faced with the aftermath of a car accident can impact your life in many ways but you do not have to stand alone.
What most victims fail to recognize is the fact that they have a right to seek compensation for their injuries and other damages under Florida law. Car accidents tend to occur most often due to the negligence of others. This means that you may find that you are eligible for a wide array of aspects such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more in your time of need. If you have been harmed in an accident that is not your fault, it is essential that you speak with an attorney who has had experience with these cases in the past.
