Car Accidents in Florida 

In one year’s time, over 2.5 million intersection accidents take place within the U.S. due to the recklessness of others. Intersection accidents are incredibly damaging in some cases, causing serious injuries. Speeding motorists and those who are distracted could be involved in one of these accidents in the blink of an eye. Other motorists may notice that there is about to be a red light and so they try to get through the intersection before the light changes. Any of these actions can lead to a preventable but irreversible accident that causes traumatic harm to those involved. It is important that injured victims understand that they have options after an intersection accident that is not their fault.

Intersection accidents tend to be some of the most common but devastating accidents on our roads due to the fact that they lead to a wide array of damages. Many injuries stem from these accidents every year including head injuries, spinal cord injuries, contusions, broken bones, hip injuries, burns, and more. If you believe that your accident took place because another party violated the law, you will have to show this through your personal injury claim.
