What Is Considered Aggressive Driving in Florida?
Aggressive driving goes far beyond a simple traffic mistake. It’s a pattern of dangerous behavior intended to intimidate or force other drivers off the road. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), common aggressive driving behaviors include:
- Excessive speeding
- Tailgating (following too closely)
- Frequent and abrupt lane changes
- Failing to yield the right of way
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Obstructing other vehicles from changing lanes
- Gesturing or yelling at other drivers
Many aggressive drivers escalate their behavior into road rage, which can lead to crashes, fights, or even criminal charges. Whether the other driver was reckless, hostile, or intentionally dangerous, our legal team is ready to hold them accountable.

Injured by an Aggressive Driver? You May Have a Strong Claim
In Florida, victims injured by an aggressive driver can often pursue a personal injury claim if the at-fault driver’s behavior meets the legal standard for negligence or recklessness. At Andrew Pickett Law, we help victims prove that the aggressive driver caused the crash and should be responsible for damages.
These cases often involve:
- Rear-end collisions
- Sideswipe or merging accidents
- High-speed crashes
- Intentional contact or forced off-road accidents
- Pedestrian or bicyclist injuries caused by road rage
We act quickly to collect dashcam footage, witness statements, and police reports. If needed, we work with accident reconstruction experts and even subpoena cellphone data or prior driving history.

"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"
Florida’s Comparative Fault Rule and Aggressive Driving Cases
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means if you’re more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovering compensation. But even if you’re partially at fault, you can still collect a reduced amount , as long as your share is 50% or less.
Aggressive driving cases often involve conflicting stories. The at-fault driver might try to blame you or suggest you contributed to the crash. That’s why we fight hard to prove that the aggressive driver’s behavior was the primary cause of the accident. Every percentage point of fault matters in the final payout.
What to Do If You’ve Been Injured by an Aggressive Driver in Florida
If you’ve been hurt in an aggressive driving crash, your safety and case depend on what you do next:
- Call 911 and file a police report, make sure to mention the driver’s aggressive behavior.
- Document everything, take photos of the scene, your vehicle, injuries, and any skid marks or damage.
- Get medical attention, even if symptoms seem minor at first.
- Don’t engage with the aggressive driver, avoid confrontation at the scene.
- Contact Andrew Pickett Law, before speaking to insurance adjusters.
Our car accident attorneys will handle the legal battle while you focus on healing.

How Much Time Do You Have to File a Claim in Florida?
Florida law now gives accident victims two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. This shorter statute of limitations makes it even more important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Time-sensitive evidence like dashcam videos, traffic camera footage, or eyewitness contact info can disappear quickly , and that’s often the best proof in aggressive driving claims.
