What are the Most Dangerous Highways in Florida?

by

one of the most dangerous highways that cause many auto accidents

Florida routinely ranks in the top 10, of all of the states in the U.S., for the total amount of car accidents, as well as for the number of uninsured drivers. Knowing what highways are the most dangerous in Florida can help you potentially avoid accidents the next time you take a drive. 

This article discusses the deadliest roadways in Florida, the most common reasons for car accidents, and what steps to take if you are involved in a car accident. 

If you’ve been injured in a collision, it’s in your best interest to consult with an experienced auto accident attorney as soon as possible. Our attorneys, at Schrier Law Group, have successfully represented auto accident victims for more than 40 years. We can do the same for you. 

Contact us today to learn how we can help you get the most compensation possible for your case. 

The Deadliest Highways in Florida

Some roads in Florida are more dangerous than others due to conditions, congestion, and many other factors. Some of the most dangerous highways in the state include, but are not limited to:

  • Interstate 4 is the busiest in the entire country. Although some may believe that this roadway is haunted, distracted driving and the high amount of motor vehicles on this interstate make it riskier for Florida drivers. 
  • Interstate 10 is one of the main east-west highways in Florida. The highway’s popularity makes it susceptible to traffic, and the higher speeds increase the risk of accidents. 
  • The Ronald Reagan Turnpike goes through 11 counties in Florida and runs north to south throughout the state. This route is popular for commercial vehicles, making it more dangerous for motor vehicle travelers. 
  • Interstate 95 stretches down the entire east coast. It is also one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in the U.S. Its daily traffic and heavy congestion, due to thousands of car and truck users, make I-95 more dangerous for everyone. 

What Are the Most Common Reasons for Accidents in Florida?

Accidents can happen for any reason, including road conditions, negligent drivers, and many others. The most common driving behaviors that increase the risk of accidents include:

  • Aggressive driving – speeding, cutting off other drivers, switching lanes without signaling, aggressive honking, tailgating, road rage, and other avoidable acts commonly contribute to Florida car crashes. 
  • Distracted driving – accidents are a significant problem, due to the overuse of smartphones, especially texting, while driving. Other dangerous behaviors include eating, talking to passengers, caring for pets or children, changing the radio, reading directions, and more.
  • General traffic infractions – Falling to signal or yield the right of way, running stoplights, driving over the speed limit, and making illegal turns are some of the most common reasons for Florida auto accidents.
  • Drunk driving: More than 5,000 accidents are caused by intoxicated driving in Florida each year. 

How Can I Stay Safe While Driving on Florida Highways?

Exercising caution, while driving on Florida’s roads, is one of the best strategies for staying safe. The following tips can also keep you and your family safe while sharing the highways:

  • Avoid distracted driving on Florida highways by stopping at rest stops, welcome centers, and service plazas when you want to use your phone. 
  • Avoid pedestrians, bicyclists, and skateboarders when driving, and practice safe driving techniques when they are nearby.
  • Don’t drive while you’re intoxicated, impaired, or fatigued. Drivers can be held criminally liable for injuries, deaths, and accidents caused by their negligence.
  • Take a safe driving course to brush up on your skills, familiarize yourself with Florida traffic laws, and learn defensive driving techniques.

What Steps Should I Take if Involved in an Accident in Florida?

If you suffer severe injuries from your crash, you have the right to file a lawsuit for damages against the at-fault party, generally within four years of the date of your accident. An adept Florida auto accident attorney can:

  • Help you file the claim
  • Conduct an independent investigation
  • Negotiate with the insurance company 
  • Represent you in court (if necessary)
  • Assert your rights 
  • Seek maximum compensation for your damages

Although Florida is a no-fault state, it’s still imperative to report the crash to the police, to obtain a crash report, and to file your insurance claim as soon as possible. Failing to act, after your accident, could result in you losing your right to ever bring a case or it could cause you to lose your case.

I must say that Mr. Schrier was there when we needed immediate advice after my wife got rear-ended by an unlicensed speeding lunatic. We called a handful of attorneys in our area, but after waiting 2- 5 days they would drop her case. We found Mr Schrier online and he explained the pros/cons and he took the case. We waited patiently, and in time he was able to tracked down the actual owners of the car and get their auto insurance info!

The Schrier LG is an excellent firm! They accepted my case, provided me with all the procedural information, maintained a high level of professionalism while showing kindness and care. The doctor's office that they suggested is another group of kind and considerate individuals, dedicated to my full recovery. I would recommend the Schrier Group to friends, just as they were recommended to me. I am happy with my settlement and very pleased with the attention and diligence of the group as a whole. Thank you again!

Mr. Paul Schrier is by far the best attorney for the job! He is very responsive, knowledgeable, and very efficient. Despite my very busy schedule, he kept me informed throughout the process. I am very please with the outcome of my case. The customer service I received from the entire team has been amazing! Thank you all so much!

Not only did I get a phenomenal attorney to represent me in my case, but I also got a step by step education on how the legal process actually worked. I was encouraged to ask questions and be an informed client. I was never treated like a case. I truly felt like the advice and recommendations he gave to me would have been the same he would have pursued if he were the client. That was important to me. I needed to work with an attorney I could trust with my best interest in mind...and that is what I got with Paul Schrier.

I was involved in an auto accident in January 2016. We decided to contact Paul K. Schrier, PLLC for legal advice. He never got annoyed with me calling to ask questions, which was quite often. We have finally reached the final stages of this case, which they handled very well, and have come to a settlement. I highly recommend the Florida personal injury attorneys at The Law Offices of Paul K. Schrier, PLLC, especially Paul K. Schrier to any one who needs a personal injury attorney. Thank you very much Paul for everything you have done do me.
