Can You Secure Damages After a Rear-End Accident in Florida?
You may be able to secure funds for your losses after a rear-end collision in Florida. Our state uses no-fault laws to handle motor vehicle collisions, so all drivers should have PIP insurance, which can provide compensation for medical expenses and other losses.
However, if you sustained a permanent injury due to another party’s negligent actions, you may qualify to file a personal injury lawsuit. Your Florida personal injury attorney can review your situation and go over methods to bring you full damages for your losses.

What Compensation Do You Get for a Florida Rear-End Accident?
Rear-end accidents occur when one vehicle strikes another from behind. We often see these collisions after drivers run red lights or ignore stop signs. Drivers who tailgate can also cause rear-end crashes.
These wrecks often leave you with significant financial burdens. A rear-end accident attorney can step in to help you secure funds to cover your:
Medical Expenses
Rear-end accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, including concussions, whiplash, broken bones, and spinal cord injuries. Our Florida catastrophic injury lawyers can help you seek funds to cover the costs of your:
- Emergency medical care and ambulance ride
- Time spent in the hospital
- Any necessary medical tests and procedures
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
You may also receive funds for any medications prescribed by your doctor.
Lost Wages
Our team can help you seek damages to cover any lost pay, bonuses, or raises after a rear-end accident. We understand that you may require time off to recover from your injuries.
You may also qualify for funds to cover your diminished earning potential if the accident left you with a disabling condition.
Pain and Suffering
If you sustain physical injuries in your accident, you may receive funds to cover your non-economic losses, including any pain, mental anguish, and emotional suffering caused by the collision.
Property Damage
Rear-end accidents can seriously damage your vehicle, especially if the wreck involves a large commercial vehicle. You may qualify for funds to cover vehicle repairs or replacement for collisions that total your car.

How Much Compensation Do You Get for a Rear-End Accident in Florida?
The amount of monetary compensation you receive after a rear-end accident in Florida depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries and the type of medical care you need to recover.
Your attorney can review your situation and provide more exact information about your damages.
How Does a Florida Rear-End Accident Lawyer Help?
A rear-end accident attorney can guide you through the complicated legal process associated with securing compensation after a wreck. Our team can:
- Find and interview all witnesses to your rear-end accident
- Look for photos and video surveillance from the accident scene
- Visit the accident scene to look for physical evidence
- Work with rear-end accident experts
After we have the evidence, we can proceed forward with your claim. We may assist you during negotiations with insurance agents. The professionals recommend allowing a lawyer to review any settlement deals before you sign them.
Once you sign settlement documents, you typically lose your rights to seek additional compensation. We can determine if these deals cover your losses and file a lawsuit when applicable.
Throughout the legal process, we’ll answer your questions and keep you up-to-date about the status of your claim.

What Will a Florida Rear-End Accident Lawyer Charge?
Our team at SKG gets paid on a contingency basis, meaning you do not pay a fee unless/until we recover money for your losses. Therefore, we only take payment for legal fees after resolving a case, and the amount of compensation we receive varies for each case.
Under contingency pricing, we receive a percentage of your final financial award, so the cost of hiring a lawyer can vary significantly.
How Long Do You Have to File a Rear-End Accident Claim in Florida?
You must file your rear-end accident claim before Florida’s statute of limitations expires. The state recently updated these regulations. Generally, you have two years to move forward with a claim before losing your chance to seek compensation.
How Long Do Rear-End Accident Cases Take to Resolve?
The time it takes to resolve your claim after a rear-end accident can vary. If you receive compensation through insurance coverage, you’ll likely resolve your claim more quickly than going through a lawsuit.
