Daytona Beach & Volusia: What the Numbers Show
Florida saw 381,210 police‑reported crashes in 2024 and 3,184 traffic deaths statewide, per the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). Volusia County remains a high‑activity corridor because of tourism, beach driving zones, and interstate traffic. You can review official statewide and county dashboards via FLHSMV’s Crash Dashboard and FDOT safety data portals for current trends.
Beach‑area incidents—like vehicle‑pedestrian collisions on drivable beach sections—continue to make headlines and highlight local risk patterns. (Example: widely reported 2025 beach‑ramp collision involving a tourist; see Volusia Sheriff releases and news coverage.)
Common Causes of Crashes in Daytona Beach
- Distracted driving (texting/GPS use)
- Speeding and aggressive lane changes on interstates
- Failure to yield at busy intersections and beach ramps
- Impaired driving (DUI)
- Red‑light running on International Speedway Blvd.
- Tourist unfamiliarity with local traffic patterns and beach driving rules
Our investigation focuses on police reports, EDR/“black box” data, cameras, witnesses, and scene evidence to lock in fault and insurance coverage; we also leverage our trial and litigation process playbook when carriers stall.
Injuries We Commonly See
- Whiplash and soft‑tissue injuries
- Fractures and joint injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal injuries and nerve damage
- Internal injuries and organ trauma
- Wrongful death claims for families
We coordinate with your treating doctors and, when needed, specialists and life‑care planners to document future medical needs and loss of earning capacity.
How We Build Your Case
- Early evidence work: photos/video, scene measurements, vehicle inspections
- Records & data: crash report, EMS/ER records, imaging, repair and total‑loss files
- Expert input: accident reconstruction and medical experts
- Negotiations: we handle adjusters and push the settlement process forward
- Trial‑ready strategy: if insurers lowball, we file and litigate
Learn what losses can be claimed: types of damages, plus how insurance and third‑party claims really work.

- Future care and home/vehicle modifications
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage and diminished value
- Wrongful death damages for families
Florida Rules That Affect Your Claim
No‑Fault (PIP) Basics. Florida’s PIP covers 80% of reasonable medical expenses up to $10,000, regardless of fault, and requires timely treatment. See FLHSMV’s Insurance page for details: PIP/PDL requirements and involved in a crash.
Comparative Negligence (51% bar) & Deadlines. In March 2023, HB 837 changed Florida negligence suits to modified comparative negligence—a party more than 50% at fault cannot recover—and shortened the statute of limitations to two years for most negligence claims. See the Florida Senate bill page and enrolled text HB 837 PDF.
