Exploring Your Options for Compensation After a Rear-End Accident

Florida is a no-fault state, which means you use your own insurance first. This system can make it easier to get the care you need and to make ends meet after the crash; however, your insurance policy is very limited in what it covers. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policies only cover a portion of your medical care and lost wages. In more serious rear-end collisions, you can quickly exhaust this coverage.

If you meet certain requirements, you can hold the other driver liable for your injuries and losses. Filing a claim or suing the other driver could allow you to recover the entirety of your damages. Our Florida rear-end collision lawyers can help you determine whether you qualify.

How We Prove You Are Eligible for Damages

We can’t recover damages for you unless we prove the other party caused your crash. Doing so requires that we establish the following:

• The other driver owed you a duty of care. Drivers owe other road users a duty to follow laws and drive safely.
• The other driver failed to uphold this duty by driving carelessly or recklessly. Examples may include drunk driving, distracted driving, drowsy driving, failing to adapt driving to weather conditions, failing to maintain brakes, speeding, tailgating, weaving, or unsafe lane changes.
• Their failure caused your accident. For example:
  • You are stopped at a red light on US-27 when a driver hits you from behind. They were texting and didn’t see the stopped traffic. You suffered a traumatic brain injury and whiplash.
  • You are driving on FL-500 when a driver who is weaving in and out of lanes cuts you off and hits their brakes. You crash into their car, suffering internal injuries.
• You sustained damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
