Duval County · Northeast Florida
Injured in an Accident in Jacksonville?
Jacksonville covers more ground than any other city in Florida, and its roads reflect that: interstates I-95, I-10 and the I-295 beltway, long river crossings over the St. Johns, and busy commercial corridors like Beach Boulevard and J. Turner Butler Boulevard. Freight traffic to and from the port adds heavy trucks to the mix.
