Car Accidents in Miami-Dade
Travel by car is the most popular method of transportation throughout the United States, and motor vehicles have come a long way since their advent in 1886. Numerous safety measures are taken while building automobiles to ensure the continued well-being of their users. Though there have been countless precautions taken in order to improve the safety features in motor vehicles over the years, there is no way to guarantee your safety, unfortunately. In Florida, the leading cause of motor vehicle accidents is distracted driving. Across the country, negligent driving accounts for almost all of the traffic accidents that take place, and wrong-way incidents are a major contributor to fatal collisions.
People lose their lives every single day due to car accidents in Florida and across the United States. Statistically speaking, more than 3,000 people per year are killed due to fatal traffic accidents in Florida.
