Car Accidents in Florida 

Florida sees more hit-and-run accidents than many other states in the U.S. These accidents tend to lead to severe results due to the fact that a driver flees the scene of an accident immediately after it occurs. In 2019 alone, statistics showed that approximately 105,000 hit-and-run accidents happened in Florida. A large percentage of these accidents lead to accidents, which means that victims are left wondering how they will move forward after a collision that is not their fault.

Any type of accident can lead to severe results. In the blink of an eye, many victim’s lives are turned upside-down by car accidents. Some of the most common injuries that result from these accidents include spinal cord injuries, TBIs, broken bones, and more. Being injured in a car accident might be one of the most complex and challenging things that you have ever faced, but you should never have to stand alone after an accident that is not their fault.
