A new report reveals Florida has the most dangerous intersection based on injuries and death.
Florida ranks number one on a 100 risk score with 1,208 deaths and 1,090 injuries at the intersection.
Thomas Feiter, CEO of Fighter Law, an Orlando-based personal injury law firm, helped analyse the data.
Using CDAN statistics, Feiter filtered the information down to state and county levels, further narrowing it down to the number of deaths and injuries that occurred at intersections within each county.
The number of deaths and injuries from all counties in the state was summed to calculate state-level figures. This approach compares statistics at the state level rather than identifying specific dangerous intersections.

All data columns were normalized to a 0-1 scale. The average was then calculated and converted to a 100-point scale multiplied by 100. The higher the score, the more likely the state will have many dangerous intersections. This dataset was published in February 2025 and this analysis was conducted based on the latest available data.
“They all converge with multiple streams of traffic, pedestrians and cyclists all converge and create numerous potential conflict points.” The combination of Florida’s high tourist traffic, seniors and urban density causes perfect storms at intersections, adding the fact that many visitors are not used to local roads, and you have a recipe for disasters.
Why are there so many incidents? The state’s year-round weather means more pedestrians and cyclists share vehicles and roads, increasing the risk of serious accidents at intersections.
“These findings should serve as a wake-up call for drivers traveling in particularly high-risk conditions. Intersections are inherently dangerous as they are places where multiple traffic flows are filled and often at different speeds and directions,” Feiter said.
