Know Your Rights After a Rear-End Crash

If you were seriously injured in a rear-end accident, you may be entitled to compensation, even if the other driver or their insurer downplays your injuries. Florida law allows victims of negligence to pursue financial recovery for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other crash-related losses. But asserting your rights takes more than submitting a claim.

Rear-end collisions might seem straightforward, but insurance companies often try to avoid responsibility, especially when serious injuries are involved. That’s where Stallworth Law steps in. We investigate liability, calculate your damages, and fight for the outcome you deserve in negotiations or in court.

Who’s at Fault in a Rear-End Accident?

In most rear-end collisions, the trailing driver is presumed to be at fault, but that doesn’t mean liability is automatic or uncontested. To recover compensation, you’ll still need to prove the other driver was negligent and that their actions caused your injuries.

Common causes of fault in rear-end crashes include:

• Distracted driving, such as texting behind the wheel
• Speeding or following too closely, giving the driver no time to react
• Impaired driving, including alcohol, drugs, or fatigue
• Failure to adjust to road conditions, such as rain or traffic congestion
• Brake failure or vehicle defects, which may create third-party liability

In some cases, the front driver may share fault — for example, if they suddenly slammed on the brakes without cause, reversed unexpectedly, or had non-functioning brake lights. Even then, Florida’s modified comparative negligence law allows partially at-fault victims to recover compensation, so long as they are 50% or less responsible for the crash.

At Stallworth Law, we investigate the facts thoroughly, consult with accident reconstruction experts when needed, and build a case that reflects the full picture, not just what the insurance company wants you to believe.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Rear-End Crash?

If you were seriously injured in a rear-end accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation, not just for immediate medical bills, but for the full extent of your losses. At Stallworth Law, we work to ensure clients aren’t shortchanged by lowball insurance offers or limited interpretations of what “counts” as a recoverable damage.

Depending on your case, compensation may cover:

• Medical expenses (including future care needs)
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Vehicle damage or loss
• Long-term disability or rehabilitation
• Wrongful death benefits (in fatal collisions)

Insurance companies will often push back on the severity of your injuries or try to limit what they owe. We push back harder with evidence, expert testimony, and a trial-ready case if needed.

How Stallworth Law Helps Clients After Rear-End Collisions

Rear-end accident claims may seem straightforward, but insurance companies often find ways to complicate or devalue them. Whether it’s denying the extent of your injuries, arguing you had a pre-existing condition, or shifting blame, they’re looking to reduce what they owe — not make you whole.

At Stallworth Law, we take over the legal burden so you can focus on healing. We help by:

• Investigating the crash and establishing fault
• Collecting and preserving evidence (dashcam footage, black box data, witness statements, etc.)
• Calculating the full value of your economic and non-economic losses
• Negotiating directly with insurers or litigating when necessary
• Keeping your case on track and your questions answered

We’ve helped injured clients across Tampa and beyond recover millions in serious injury and wrongful death claims, and we’re ready to do the same for you.
