Car accidents in Florida are, unfortunately, all too common. Each year, there are over 400,000 motor vehicle accidents (MVA), many of which result in significant injury and sometimes even death. Even those with mild to moderate injuries can be left with severe mental trauma and chronic pain. Further, a significant number of people remain disabled
As a driver, you know that there are certain prerequisites for getting behind the wheel: you need a license, a vehicle, fuel, and insurance. It can seem like a no-brainer. You drive, you get insured. But one in eight US drivers who are involved in a motor vehicle accident is underinsured or uninsured. In Florida,
In many ways, Florida is a bicyclist’s dream come true; we boast beautiful year-round weather and some of the most stunning scenery in the country. In other ways, however, the Sunshine State is not particularly bike-friendly. With notable exceptions like Orlando, Florida ranks 28th in the nation in terms of “bike-friendliness,” according to the League
Florida is a fantastic place to live but it also has the dubious distinction of being one of the deadliest states for pedestrians, cyclists, and motor vehicle drivers. In 2018, there were nearly 420,000 motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) which resulted in over 3,100 fatalities. In addition, the MVAs resulted in over 250,000 injuries, many of

Every car accident involves a different set of circumstances resulting in varying settlement values. Due to the fact that so many variables can impact the value of a car accident settlement, it is impossible to state what an “average” settlement would be in the state of Florida.
