Rear-End Collisions and Determining Liability in Your Miami Case

Every driver knows that stopped traffic—either for an accident, a traffic light, or congestion during your commute—can place you at risk for a rear-end collision. If you noticed another driver approaching fast in your rearview mirror, chances are you had no place to go to avoid the collision.

It is also possible that your rear-end collision happened so fast that you did not anticipate the impact. Understanding what caused the at-fault driver to not notice the stopped traffic in time to stop could help determine liability for your injuries.

Common Causes of Rear-End Accidents

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), traffic accidents involve a variety of driver behaviors and actions. The following are just a few common types of driver negligence that result in rear-end crashes:

Distracted Driving

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists the following three types of driver distraction:

Visual: Anything that takes a driver’s eyes from the road
Manual: Anything that takes a driver’s hands from the wheel
Cognitive: Anything that takes a driver’s mind off driving

According to accident data from the FLHMSV, there were 2,656 incapacitating injuries and 275 fatalities in Florida due to driver distraction in 2022 alone.

If the driver responsible for your rear-end collision engaged in distracted behavior before the accident, they may be liable for your damages.

Speeding and Aggressive Behavior

The FLHMSV 2022 data also shows us that speeding and aggressive behavior caused 1,250 serious injuries and resulted in 517 fatalities that year.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety points out that speeding and purposely tailgating are two forms of aggressive driving. These dangerous driver actions can lead to a rear-end collision.

Our legal team can determine exactly what happened and who is liable for your injuries. In some cases, responsibility may point to multiple parties. For example, faulty brakes or other mechanical errors could place liability on the car and parts manufacturer. No matter what caused a driver to rear-end your vehicle, we will fight for compensation.

When a Rear-End Collision Results in the Death of a Close Loved One

An especially violent rear-end collision—like one caused by a semi-truck—may result in the death of a close loved one. If you lost someone you love due to reckless actions, a mechanical failure, or both, we may be able to help you with a wrongful death case.

In a wrongful death claim or lawsuit, your relationship to the decedent is an important qualifier for pursuing compensation. The following types of relationships are standard in such cases:

Surviving spouse
Parents
Children

Florida Statute § 768.19 allows for legal action when a death results from the negligent actions of another person. To learn if the death of your close loved one may entitle you to pursue compensation and justice, call Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers now for a free case evaluation.
