The culture in Florida and in the United States as a whole is such that we are dependent upon our cars to get us around. While millions of autos hit the roads every day, few of us consider the dangers that we encounter every time we hit the gas pedal. Although statistics would tell us that the chances of being involved in an accident are relatively low, that does not mean that anyone is immune to this problem.

One look at some basic statistics that are kept by the state government in Florida should tell all of us that we need to be prepared should we ever be involved in a vehicle accident. Below is an overview of these statistics and how you should proceed if you are injured in such an incident in Florida.
