- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries

Who Is at Fault in a Rear End Collision in Florida?
In most rear end collisions, the driver who hit the car in front is considered at fault. However, there are exceptions. A thorough investigation can reveal contributing factors such as:
- Sudden or unsafe lane changes
- Brake failure or vehicle malfunction
- Tailgating or distracted driving
- Hazardous road conditions
At Graves Law, we gather crash reports, witness statements, medical records, and video footage when available to build a strong claim. We do not rely on assumptions—we pursue the evidence.

Rear End Collision Claims and Florida’s Insurance System
Florida is a no-fault insurance state, which means your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage will typically pay for some of your initial medical bills and lost wages. However, if your injuries meet the threshold for seriousness, you can file a claim against the at-fault driver for additional compensation. Florida’s no-fault laws are described in F.S. 627.7407 and F.S. 627.730-627.7405.
These cases can become complicated quickly. That is why working with a Florida rear end accident attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
