Today, the topic is about rear end collisions and the accident lawyer from Boca Raton (injury lawyer Miami, accident attorney Coral Springs, injury attorney Lake Worth, accident lawyer West Palm Beach, injury attorney Boynton Beach, accident lawyer Homestead, injury attorney Weston, injury lawyer Pembroke Pines) will respond to this question.
Generally, the car from behind is at fault and under Florida law there is a presumption of liability against the car in the back in a rear end collision (although this may be rebutted). In the facts presented if one car is stopped at a red light and the other car crashes in the rear due to texting, this would be pretty clear fault against the texting driver in the back, generally. Thus, the car insurance of the car in the back should generally fix the car of the person in the front. If the person in the front is injured, they may have an injury case against the car that rear ended them, generally.

Of course, every case is unique and has to be judged based on the specific facts of the case. The advice in this blog is intended to be general in nature and should not to be construed as specific advice for a case, as a slight difference in the facts could ultimately change the result. Also, this blog is, as the web site suggests, based on Florida law and the laws of any other states or another country could vary significantly from Florida.
