Florida Traffic Crashes

In 2018, Florida saw 397,812 auto accidents take place with 251,970 injuries and 3,004 deaths. According to statistical records, there were 402,489 reported traffic accidents in Florida in 2017 with over 254,300 injuries and 3,114 deaths. This is a mere 1% difference between the accident rates for 2017 and 2018. 

Rollover crashes are dangerous occurrences that have a higher fatality rate than many other types of auto crashes. Rollovers, on average, account for about 35% of the yearly accident-fatality rate in the United States. In the year 2010, there were over 7,000 people who lost their lives in rollover crashes in the nation. The majority of these deaths can also be attributed to not properly utilizing restraints, which is a form of driver/passenger negligence. 

Auto accidents in Florida can occur for many different reasons, but currently, the leading cause is distracted driving, specifically texting and driving. This dangerous and negligent driver behavior accounts for nearly a quarter of all car accidents in the Sunshine State. Unfortunately, about 94% of auto accidents in the US are the result of some form of driver negligence. 

A traffic collision in Florida is estimated to take place approximately once every 84 seconds, or over 1,000 times per day. Yearly, Florida sees about 400,000 traffic accidents take place. Florida is ranked as one of the most dangerous states to travel through due to its high accident-fatality rate. However, Florida is one of the most highly-populated states in the nation, which directly correlates with its statistical values.
