Featured Video of The Week:
Each year, there are around 300,000 traffic accidents in Florida; that's about 700 collisions a day! Florida traffic accidents caused almost 3,000 fatalities in 2008. This makes Florida one of the most dangerous states for driving. In fact, I-95 and U.S. Highway 1 are ranked among the
deadliest highways in the nation.
But, Florida accidents are not limited to the highways. Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Jacksonville were recently ranked as the four
most dangerous American cities for pedestrians. Florida also has the highest number of
bicycle fatalities, and nearly all these deaths occurred when the bicyclist was hit by a motor vehicle.
But, those are the statistics;
you are not.
Attorney Kim Cullen understands that traffic accidents can be devastating to the individuals and families involved. Car crashes that are not fatal may still result in brain damage, spinal cord injury, disk herniations, shoulder, neck and knee injuries, and soft tissue injuries - injuries that are life altering.

In the blink of an eye, your everyday life changed. Suddenly you are dealing with injuries, hospital visits, loss of income, insurance companies, and perhaps even death and burial expenses.
