What the Center Analyzes

Each research area draws on the same normalized crash-data model, analyzed across these dimensions:

  • Total crashes
  • Fatal crashes
  • Serious injuries
  • Pedestrian crashes
  • Bicycle crashes
  • Motorcycle crashes
  • Commercial vehicle crashes
  • Location patterns
  • Time-of-day patterns
  • Year-over-year trends

Why This Exists

Florida publishes an enormous amount of crash data, but most of it is hard to find, hard to read, and disconnected from the places people actually drive, walk, and ride. The Injury Intelligence Center exists to make that public safety information easier to understand, easier to explore, and more locally relevant — for residents, journalists, researchers, and policymakers.

HOV Law's attorneys work with the consequences of these crashes every day. This center is our public-interest contribution: careful analysis, published with its methodology and its limitations, free to cite with attribution.

Built on Transparency

  • Methodology — how data is collected, cleaned, defined, and ranked, with a versioned change history.
  • Data sources — every source we use or plan to use, with coverage, access dates, and known limitations.
  • Limitations stated on every analysis — reported crashes are not a complete record of all incidents, and recent data is subject to revision.
  • No statistic is published without a named source. Where data isn't connected yet, pages say so plainly.

Planned and Prospective Data Sources

Integration status for each source is documented on the data sources page.

The HOV Injury Intelligence Center provides public-interest research and general informational resources. Crash data may be delayed, revised, incomplete, or affected by differences in reporting methodology across agencies, and reported crashes are not a complete record of all incidents. This information is not legal advice, does not establish an attorney-client relationship, and is not a substitute for official government records. HOV Injury Intelligence is operated by HOV Law, PLLC.
