What is Causing Car Accidents In Florida?
There is a number of factors that result in car accidents in Florida. It may be shocking to see the most common causes listed together, as most of them are easily preventable. Car accidents in Boca Raton are commonly caused by:
- Distracted driving. This is an epidemic of the modern world. Distracted driving can mean usage of one’s cell phone or another electronic device, talking to passengers, eating behind the wheel, or other things that cause you to focus your attention elsewhere while driving.
- Speeding. Speeding violations can involve either driving over the posted speed limit, or driving too fast for existing road conditions.
- Failure to stay in the correct lane. This caused approximately 3,169 injuries in Florida in 2019.
- Not yielding to the right of way. Almost 20,000 people were injured for not yielding properly in Florida in 2019.
- Failing to notice motorcycles or pedestrians. Altogether, motorcycle and pedestrian accidents accounted for 13,279 injuries in Florida in 2020 alone.
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In 2020, 188 injuries stemmed from driving under the influence, and 215 fatalities occurred.
How Can You Receive Compensation For Your Injuries?
Florida law requires all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. This insurance policy may provide you with no-fault coverage, regardless of who was at fault for the accident. Relatives who live with you, others who borrow your car with permission, pedestrians, and bicyclists are covered by this insurance as well.
That said, there may always be additional questions you have regarding any existing law. That is one of the main reasons legal advice may have a great impact on your case. An experienced Boca Raton car accident lawyer such as Brian L. Elstein can help you with your claim.
