Rear-End Accident Lawyers in Jacksonville, FL

You deserve compensation. Our attorneys can help.

An accident could happen anywhere, at any time. The backroad shortcut you've been taking home from work for years, or the highway you've merged onto countless times, suddenly swarmed with police cars and hazard lights. If you are on the road, there is always a chance that someone will make the wrong turn at the wrong time, text and drive, or run a red light.

Rear-end accidents are incredibly common. Sometimes drivers aren't paying attention, or following too closely when you need to make a sudden stop. When merging onto the highway, drivers may maintain high speeds or even increase them without moving over to allow for incoming traffic. At Pajcic & Pajcic, our rear-end accident lawyers know how unexpected these events are, and how extensive the damages resulting from them can be. That's why we are dedicated to getting you the maximum compensation that you deserve.

Common causes of rear-end accidents

When drivers are not focusing their whole attention on the road, or not exercising proper judgement, the car in front of them can end up suffering the consequences. Whether the accident occurs at 5mph or 40mph, significant physical damage can occur. But why do these accidents happen in the first place? On the busy roads of Florida, rear-end collisions are often caused by:

  • Distracted driving such as use of a mobile device, adjusting a GPS, grooming or eating
  • Road rage
  • Driving while fatigued
  • Not paying attention to traffic
  • Driving while intoxicated
  • Speeding
  • Tailgating
  • Poor vehicle maintenance

Getting rear-ended at an intersection or rear-ended by a truck can result in serious injuries.

    These injuries can change lives forever. Our law firm has seen how devastating they can be. Rear-end collisions often are the causes of:
