Fatal Accidents in Florida 

Florida can be a very dangerous and deadly place for motorists. Major highways such as I-95 are common locations for serious car accidents. With higher speed limits and increased traffic volumes, motorists on highways are very susceptible to being injured in crashes. This is especially true given the number of negligent drivers that are on the highways on a daily basis.
