What Are Motor Vehicle Accidents?
Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of injury and death in Florida and across the United States. In 2023, Florida reported 395,175 crashes, resulting in over 165,000 injuries and 3,375 fatalities. That means, on average, more than 1,000 accidents happen every day on Florida’s roads. These crashes devastate families, communities, and victims who are left struggling with physical, emotional, and financial hardships.
A motor vehicle accident occurs when a car, truck, motorcycle, bus, or other vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist, or stationary object. These incidents can range from minor fender-benders to catastrophic collisions, causing permanent injury or death. Some of the most common causes of motor vehicle accidents include speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, and mechanical failure. Regardless of the cause, the impact is often life-altering, requiring skilled legal representation to protect victims’ rights.
Types of Motor Vehicle Accident Cases We Handle
Car Accidents
Car accidents are the most common type of roadway collision in Florida, ranging from rear-end crashes to multi-vehicle pileups. These can leave victims with severe injuries, lost wages, and medical bills. At Souder Law, we meticulously investigate every detail of the crash, from police reports to witness statements and accident reconstruction, to build a strong, airtight case. We aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve from negligent drivers.
Fatal Car Accidents
Losing a loved one in a fatal car accident is devastating. Families are left with emotional pain and unexpected financial burdens.

We work to secure damages for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and future financial support, ensuring your family receives the justice and dignity you deserve.

Commercial delivery trucks and smaller freight carriers can also cause devastating collisions. These cases often involve complex liability issues, including negligent hiring, poor maintenance, or reckless driving.
