Sadly, Floridians know all about auto accidents. Our state consistently ranks in the top three in the country for total number of auto accidents and people injured and killed in these accidents each year. Here in Pinellas County, we are acutely aware of the dangers of auto accidents as our county ranks in the top five in the state for auto accidents and numbers of people injured and killed.
