Frequently Asked Questions
Who is usually at fault in a rear-end collision?
In most cases, the driver who rear-ends another vehicle is presumed to be at fault, but other factors may shift liability.
What if I was partially at fault?
Florida’s comparative negligence rule allows you to recover damages even if you share some responsibility for the crash.
Can I file a lawsuit if the insurance settlement is too low?
Yes. If insurers refuse to offer fair compensation, Spencer Morgan Law can file a personal injury lawsuit to pursue a higher recovery.
How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?
Most car accident claims must be filed within two years of the crash.
What if the driver who hit me was uninsured?
Your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may provide compensation for your injuries and losses.
