Palm Coast & Flagler County: What Recent Data Shows

Flagler County sees steady traffic from commuters, beach visitors, and I‑95 corridor travel. State sources track trends in rear‑end, angle (T‑bone), left‑turn, and pedestrian crashes, with spikes near major intersections along SR‑100 and Palm Coast Pkwy. Review current county data on:

• Florida Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles Crash Dashboard – county‑ and city‑level views of crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
• FDOT Safety Data Portals – mapping tools and safety analysis for state corridors.
  These official portals are updated regularly and are the best reference when insurers dispute “how bad” your corridor is.

Injuries We Commonly See

• Whiplash/soft‑tissue injuries and concussion
• Fractures (wrist, ankle, ribs) and joint injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal injuries (herniations, nerve impingement)
• Internal injuries and organ trauma
• Wrongful death claims for families

We coordinate with treating physicians and specialists to document future medical needs and loss of earning capacity—key drivers of case value.

Florida Rules That Affect Your Claim

No‑Fault (PIP). Florida’s PIP generally pays up to $10,000 for reasonable medical expenses regardless of fault if you treat promptly. See the FLHSMV insurance pages for details.

Comparative Negligence & Deadlines (HB 837). Since March 24, 2023, Florida uses a 51% bar—you cannot recover if you’re more than 50% at fault; otherwise, your award is reduced by your share of fault. The statute of limitations for most negligence claims is two years. We track deadlines from day one.
