Road accidents
Every year we face shocking statistics about accidents happening on roadways. Approximately 1.3 million people worldwide die each year due to injuries from road accidents. They can happen to anyone, regardless of social status, gender, or age.
According to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were over 391,715 accidents on the state’s roads in 2022. These include crashes involving cars, motorcycles, trucks, bicycles, scooters, or pedestrians.
Unfortunately, many underestimate the risk of accidents and fail to take preventative measures. Here, we want to provide information about each type so you can understand more about these accidents and learn how to prevent them.
Car accidents
Cars are the most popular mode of transportation in America, which unfortunately makes them involved in most road accidents. In 2022, there were 391,715 accidents in Florida alone.
Motorcycle accidents
Motorcycles are smaller vehicles that lack the protective features of cars, making them more vulnerable to accidents. In 2022, there were 9,150 motorcycle accidents in Florida. To avoid these accidents, wearing protective gear, maintaining a safe distance, and following traffic rules is essential.
Uber and Lyft accidents
The rise of ride-sharing services has led to an increase in accidents involving these vehicles. If you are involved in an accident while using a ride-sharing app, knowing what to do and how to act is crucial.
Truck accidents
Trucks are vital for transporting cargo across the country, but they can also cause severe accidents due to factors like reduced visibility and longer stopping distances. Knowing how to proceed with a personal injury claim is important if you are involved in a truck accident.
Scooter accidents
Scooters have become a popular mode of transportation in recent years, but they also pose risks to riders and pedestrians. Understanding the dangers and taking safety precautions to prevent accidents is important.
Bicycle accidents
Even though a Bicycle doesn’t necessarily operate on gas or electricity, when a bicycle rider is driving on the road, it becomes subject to all the laws applicable to other motor vehicles, such as following signs, signals, and lane marking.
Injured pedestrians
Pedestrians are vulnerable to accidents on the road, and it is essential to seek medical and legal help in the event of an injury, regardless of its severity.
Additional accidental injuries
Although roadway crashes are the most common type of accident, there are many other scenarios in which accidents can occur.
Below are some information and tips about how to prevent and handle them.
Slip and falls
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, from a wet floor in a store to an obstacle on a sidewalk. It is important to get a professional assessment after a slip and fall accident to determine if there is any underlying injury that requires medical attention.
Metaverse injuries
As new technologies emerge, so do unknown risks. Injuries can occur while immersed in a virtual experience, which may lead to personal injury claims.
Dog bite
In 2022, there were 17,597 dog bite claims nationwide. Dog bites can cause serious injuries, and knowing what to do in these situations is important.
Nursing home abuse and neglect
Elders’ vulnerability and limited ability to defend themselves or communicate effectively make them an easy target for cases of abuse and neglect, often unbeknownst to their families for months or even years.
Boating and watercraft accidents
Boating and watercraft are often recreational activities, captivating adventurers and water enthusiasts alike. However, people lack the necessary precautions, causing accidents, injuries, or even deaths.
Wrongful death
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or intentional actions is an indescribable tragedy that no family should endure.
Aviation accidents
Airplane accidents, although relatively rare, can have devastating consequences.
Train and railroad accidents
Although train travel is generally considered safe, accidents can still happen due to various causes, such as human error, mechanical failures, signal malfunctions, and track defects, among others.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I contact a lawyer after I have been involved in an accident?
The sooner, the better. While you have many rights under an insurance contract, you also have certain obligations with strict time constraints. Calling an attorney can ensure that you are fully protected and able to receive the best and most appropriate compensation.
Can my insurance company raise my premium after an accident?
Pursuant to §626.9541, your insurance company should not raise your premium unless you were substantially at fault for the automobile accident.
Why do I have to use my insurance if I was not at fault for the accident?
Florida is a no-fault state, meaning that anyone who owns an automobile in the state must have at least $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection coverage. When you are involved in an automobile accident, your first source of insurance coverage available for medical expenses is through PIP coverage, regardless of who is at fault.
How do I get my vehicle repaired after an accident?
The answer to this question depends mainly on two main factors – what coverages you have under your insurance policy and whether or not you were at fault. Obtaining a rental and repairing your vehicle is often very stressful and costly. We will assist you every step of the way, from determining whether your insurance will cover the rental cost to ensuring your vehicle gets repaired quickly.
