Navigation Negligent Driving vs. Reckless Driving Accidents in Florida
To qualify for compensation in most car accident lawsuits, you need to prove that someone else was to blame for what happened.
In Florida, there are different degrees of blame, such as negligence and recklessness, although the legal concept in a car accident case is always the same. If successful in a lawsuit, the responsible driver must pay you full compensation for your injuries.

What Is Negligent Driving in Florida?
Negligence is when a driver does something that a reasonable driver would not have done under the circumstances. A driver may have just been careless and not paying attention. A driver can make a simple mistake, although they will be held responsible for it. There does not have to be any conscious behavior to be legally deemed negligent.
