Car Accident in Florida?
According to the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles, approximately 600-700 automobile crashes occur every day in Florida, and according to the United States Census Bureau, there are more than 10,000,000 auto accidents every year in the U.S.
More than 2,500 people in Florida are killed each year because of car crashes, and nation-wide there are more than 36,000 fatalities. Each year, approximately 200,000 Floridians suffer injuries from auto accidents.
With the sheer volume of auto accidents that occur day-in and day-out, insurance companies have become experts at defending their financial interests. Insurance adjusters are skilled at protecting their profit-making interests by minimizing injury claims and payments to injured victims. When you’ve been injured in an auto accident, it only makes sense to hire an experienced attorney who can protect your interests.
