Throughout Florida, there are many master-planned communities that provide a wonderful place for people to live, visit and work.

One of the master planned communities located in Broward County is Coral Springs. Coral Springs is located approximately 20 miles to the northwest of Fort Lauderdale, and is considered to be a part of the Pompano Beach, Miami and Fort Lauderdale statistical area. Coral Springs was chartered as a master –planned community in July of 1963. During the 70s, 80s and 90s, the city added around 35,000 new residents every 10 years. Today, it is considered very livable and family friendly. Unfortunately, however, there are always risks even in the safest of suburbs. One of the biggest risks is the danger of auto accidents occurring and causing serious or fatal injury.
