Common questions
Where do these Palm Beach crash numbers come from?
The 997 deaths, 4,396 serious injuries, and 38%-on-4%-of-streets figures are from the Palm Beach TPA 2025 Vision Zero Action Plan update (July 2025), using Signal4 Analytics (University of Florida), which is FDOT’s crash-data system of record.
Does trend data decide claim value?
No. Trend data tells you where to preserve scene evidence. Case value still depends on liability, medical documentation, damages, and insurance coverage — including PIP’s 14-day rule under Fla. Stat. § 627.736.
