- Driver inattention or distraction (i.e., distracted driving)
- Following too closely (i.e. tailgating)
- Failure to yield right-of-way

Types of Injuries Common in Vehicle Wrecks
When vehicle collisions occur, it can cause a wide range of injuries. Some people walk away without a scratch, and others suffer only minor scrapes, cuts, and bruises. However, injuries can also be more serious. Some of the most common injuries resulting from crashes include:
- Whiplash and other soft tissue damage
- Head or traumatic brain injury (such as concussion)
- Broken bones (ribs, arms, legs, etc.)
- Internal bleeding

Fatalities can also occur in vehicle collisions. If a loved one is fatally injured in a vehicle wreck, you may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. A specialist at Morgan & Morgan can review your case.
Florida is a No-Fault State
Although Florida is a no-fault state, this means each person involved in an accident must first turn to their insurance provider for compensation, you can hire a car accident attorney to sue a negligent driver in certain instances, such as when your policy won’t cover the extent of injuries and damages, or if significant injury (disfigurement, dismemberment, etc.) or death occur, for example.
Even if you share some portion of the blame for the accident, it doesn’t prevent you from seeking compensation from others deemed at fault.
You may be eligible to receive compensation to cover both your economic and non-economic damages. These damages can include but aren’t limited to,
- Medical bills
- Property damage
- Lost wages
You may also seek compensation for non-monetary damages such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment
