"Deadly Driving: A Look at Florida’s Most Dangerous Highways
Florida has one of the highest numbers of licensed drivers in the country. With its beaches, colorful nightlife, and Disney World, the Sunshine State also stands out as a top tourist destination. What does that mean for Florida highways? It means they’re some of the most dangerous in the nation.
This data-driven infographic from Brooks Law Group features a crash map of Florida traffic collisions.
Many studies of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data have identified several of Florida’s primary highways and interstates as some of America’s deadliest.
Remember that every research agency uses its methods to compute and analyze fatal car accident data. For that reason, results can vary. The most meaningful takeaway is that studies consistently show that Florida is home to heavily traveled roads with very high numbers of crashes no matter what.
Does Tourism Cause More Crash in Florida?
Florida has long been known as a vacation hotspot, and its tourism numbers are at record highs. The Florida Department of Transportation reported an estimated 130 million visitors to the state last year. While the “the more, the merrier” rule generally applies, the seasonal influx of tourists does mean that roads become more congested and that the risk of car accidents increases sharply.
Tourists don’t necessarily cause more car accidents than Florida residents. Florida is home to several highly urbanized areas that are already overcrowded. But tourists simply don’t know Florida roads the way locals do. They will likely be consulting their GPS devices more frequently, driving more slowly, or making sudden or erratic moves in traffic to avoid missing exits or turns.
Florida’s population is also projected to increase by 6.4 million people by 2030. That growth, combined with the state’s increasing tourist numbers, will contribute to more car accidents in the Sunshine State, making the need for safe driving more critical than ever.
A severe car accident can leave someone physically and financially vulnerable — ill-equipped to push back alone against an insurance company and their trained legal team. Getting help from an experienced auto accident attorney makes sure you get the full benefits you need from an insurance company and make sure any additional damages you’re eligible for are recovered for you.
If you or a loved one have been hurt in an auto accident, Brooks Law Group can help you get the compensation you need to get your life back.
