Fault Determined

Ultimately, it’s up for a jury to decide who caused the accident.

In Florida, we are a “comparative negligence” state. That means the jury can decide to assign a certain amount of fault to all parties involved. For example, the jury may decide it’s 70% your fault, 30% the other person’s fault. Or maybe it’s both of your fault — a 50/50 outcome.

So, ultimately, the answer is it’s up to a jury.
