What these pages are for
Each page describes how that kind of injury is usually talked about in a Florida claim, and links to a longer article where we have one. The pages do not tell you who was at fault. Fault depends on the facts, and a participating attorney would have to review them.
Rear-End Collision
A rear-end crash is often blamed on the driver in back, but Florida comparative negligence does not make that automatic.
Intersection / T-Bone
A T-bone crash is a side impact, usually in an intersection, and it turns on who had the right of way.
Hit & Run
Leaving a Florida crash is a crime under sections 316.027 and 316.061. A civil referral can still be requested if the driver is gone.
Uninsured Motorist
Florida does not require most drivers to carry bodily-injury liability. Uninsured-motorist coverage can be rejected in writing.
Uber / Rideshare
Uber and Lyft insurance in Florida depends on whether the app was off, waiting, or carrying a passenger.
Commercial Truck
A commercial truck crash can involve the motor carrier's policy, not only the driver's personal insurance.
Motorcycle
Florida generally treats motorcycles differently from passenger cars, and PIP usually does not cover the rider.
Pedestrian Hit
A person hit while walking may still have PIP through their own auto policy, and drivers must yield at crosswalks under section 316.130.
Bicycle
A person hit while riding a bicycle is a vulnerable road user. Fault is fact-specific, and this page does not invent a bike-only statute number.
Slip & Fall
A slip and fall on Florida property is a premises claim. In a business, section 768.0755 generally requires proof of knowledge of a transitory foreign substance.
Workers' Compensation
Florida workers' compensation under chapter 440 is generally no-fault for an injury in the course and scope of employment, with limits on claims against the employer.
CrashAid is a free attorney referral service, not a law firm. This page is general information, not legal advice, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Sending a request does not guarantee that an attorney will contact you or accept a case.
