CrashAidFault is a percentage, not a slogan
Insurers like a simple story: the rear driver was following too closely. Florida's modified comparative negligence rules still look at signals, sudden stops, and what each driver did. If you are found more than 50 percent at fault, the who-pays article explains that you can recover nothing on a negligence claim. CrashAid does not assign that percentage.
Photos of both bumpers, the skid marks, and the traffic light help more than an argument at the scene. The after-the-crash checklist walks through what to save.
Where this shows up locally
An August 2024 FDOT memo found rear-end crashes were the most common type in its 2018–2022 study of US 41 at SR 54, west of Wesley Chapel. That is one studied intersection, not a statewide ranking. The Wesley Chapel page links the memo.
A passenger-car occupant should still know the 14-day PIP treatment window. Motorcyclists should use the motorcycle page instead, because PIP generally does not follow the bike.
Questions
Is the rear driver always at fault in Florida?
No. The rear driver is often blamed, and insurers may start there, but comparative negligence looks at the facts. More than 50 percent fault on you can wipe out a negligence recovery.
Does a rear-end crash still have the 14-day medical rule?
For passenger-car PIP benefits, initial treatment within 14 days still matters. The PIP article explains what missing that window can do to those benefits.
Will CrashAid tell me what the case is worth?
No. Value depends on injuries, coverage, and fault. A participating attorney can review that after a referral. No result is promised.
