What Are the Most Common Causes of Fatal Car Accidents in Florida?

Florida is home to just over 21 million residents but plays host to nearly 112 million domestic visitors each year, most of whom arrive by car. Distracted drivers, excited by their vacation time with family and friends, can cause serious collisions on our roadways. Unfortunately, each year, thousands of these collisions are deadly.

At the Law Offices of Keith Bregoff, PA, our Vero Beach auto accident attorney knows just how dangerous it can be to travel our city streets and highways, and we want to help you hold the reckless party who caused your crash accountable for their negligence.

Florida Traffic Crash & Fatality Statistics

Last year, throughout the United States, there were 33,654 fatal motor vehicle crashes.

Florida ranked third in the nation in the number of traffic fatalities, with 3,133 people losing their lives in these crashes.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, the greatest car accident risks our Florida drivers face include: 

• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Alcohol or drug-impaired driving
• Drowsy driving
• Failure to obey traffic signs and signals
• Improper turns
• Reckless driving
• Unsafe lane changes
• Vehicle defects
• Wrong-way driving

When negligence is a factor on our roadways, people can get severely hurt or even killed. These tragedies occur without notice and leave the surviving family members and friends devastated.
