Car Accidents in Florida

There are well over 6 million automobile accidents in the United States each year. These result in 3 million people being injured, and nearly 50,000 people per year killed.

In Florida, according to 2007 accident statistics from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were more than 250,000 traffic accidents, involving more than 360,000 drivers, which resulted in over 200,000 injuries, of which almost 3000 were fatalities. There were also over 9000 motorcycle accidents and over 8000 pedestrian accidents.

The largest percentage of these accidents, by age, involved teen drivers.

In a state of a little over 18 million people, these accidents involve more than one out of each seventy- five people in the state.

The injuries that arise from car accidents can range from the inconvenient to the crippling.

Traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries can leave the victim in lifelong pain and as an invalid, unable to take care of himself or herself. Even if you are not in a severe accident, whiplash can injure your neck and back, and even jar your head enough to cause a brain injury.

Broken bones and soft tissue injuries can cause great pain, and leave you unable to work, or take you out of work for periods of time.

Under Florida law, you may be entitled to compensation from a person who causes you injury in an automobile accident for:

--Medical Expenses

--Pain and Suffering

--Inconvenience

--Lost Income

If you have been in an automobile accident, and especially if you have been injured, you need legal representation to help you through the very complex and confusing legal processes that may happen after the accident.
