Why Stop Sign Accidents Are So Dangerous

Stop signs are designed to prevent collisions by managing the right of way, especially at intersections without traffic signals. When a driver ignores a stop sign or performs a rolling stop, they increase the risk of:

Most victims in stop sign crashes are blindsided with little to no warning. These types of collisions are especially dangerous at high speeds and often result in serious injuries or fatalities.

Common Causes of Stop Sign Accidents in Florida

These crashes can happen for a variety of reasons, including:

No matter the cause, if the other driver ran a stop sign and caused a crash, they are almost always legally liable under Florida traffic law. At Andrew Pickett Law, we’ll make sure that fault is clearly established and that you’re fully compensated for your losses.

Who Is At Fault in a Stop Sign Accident?

In most cases, the driver who ran the stop sign is presumed to be at fault. However, insurance companies may still try to dispute liability or shift blame, especially if there are no witnesses or if both drivers claim to have had the right of way.

Our firm collects critical evidence to prove fault, including:

  • Crash scene photographs
  • Skid mark and impact analysis
  • Witness statements
  • Surveillance or dash cam footage
  • Police accident reports
  • Intersection visibility evaluations

As a Florida personal injury law firm, we don’t rely on assumptions. We investigate thoroughly and advocate aggressively to protect your rights.

What Injuries Are Common in Stop Sign Accidents?

Depending on the speed and angle of impact, injuries in stop sign crashes can range from moderate to life-threatening. Common injuries include:

If you’re facing long-term recovery or are unable to return to work, you deserve legal representation that fights for your full recovery, both physical and financial.

"Mr. Pickett and his team are OUTSTANDING! His attention to detail is amazing. He really understands his clients and puts his soul into building a case. He always kept me in the loop, valued my input, responded to any and all questions I had, and made me feel confident and comfortable throughout."

What Compensation Can You Recover?

In Florida, car accident victims may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages. These include:

  • Medical expenses (emergency care, surgery, rehab)
  • Lost wages and loss of future earnings
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental and emotional distress
  • Property damage
  • Disability-related costs
  • Wrongful death damages, if a loved one was killed

We work closely with medical experts, financial analysts, and accident investigators to build a claim that reflects the full impact of the accident on your life.

Florida’s Comparative Fault Rule in Stop Sign Cases

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means:

  • If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages.
  • If you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Even in a stop sign case, the insurance company may try to argue that you were speeding, distracted, or partially responsible for the crash. At Andrew Pickett Law, we challenge those claims with evidence and expert support.

How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?

Florida law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. If you miss this deadline, your case may be permanently barred.

It’s critical to speak with a car accident lawyer as soon as possible after the crash to preserve evidence and begin building your case.

My experience is based on 2 settlements so far, still pending another case and 1 of the already settled cases M&M took but didn't want to keep after stringing me along for 4 months. So just choose Andrew Pickett Law, don't waste time with another injury attorney. Tiffany Whitehouse is great, she was confident in my cases, kept me informed and very accommodating. We didn't even have to go to court for those 2 cases. And because I had already trusted them with 2 cases, I also gave them a third case which settled quickly. My only regret, I just wish I had known about them sooner. Thanks for everything! I have already recommended my friends and clients and will continue.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I cannot say enough amazing things about Tiffany Whitehouse and her entire team. From the very beginning, I felt genuinely cared for, supported, and prioritized throughout my entire experience. Tiffany is an absolute powerhouse her knowledge, confidence, and attention to detail truly set her apart from any attorney I’ve ever worked with. She knows her craft inside and out, and you can feel that level of expertise in every interaction. What really stood out to me was how responsive and efficient everyone was. Communication was always clear and timely, and I was never left wondering about the status of my case. Tiffany and her paralegal, Vonda, worked seamlessly together and made everything feel organized and stress-free. Vonda was incredibly kind, attentive, and always made sure I had what I needed. They both went above and beyond in ways that made a stressful situation feel manageable. I also want to recognize the admin team, especially Lauren and Hailey. They were so welcoming, helpful, and professional every time I interacted with them. It’s clear that this entire office operates with a high level of care, compassion, and dedication to their clients. Another thing that truly stood out to me was how thorough and patient everyone was when answering my questions. No matter how many I had, they took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I fully understood even if it took 20 minutes. That level of patience and dedication meant so much and made me feel confident every step of the way. What meant the most to me is that they didn’t treat me like just another case they truly cared about me as a person. They checked in regularly, made sure I felt supported, and consistently went the extra mile. That kind of genuine compassion is rare to find. If you’re looking for a legal team that is not only highly skilled but also truly invested in you, I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew Pickett Law. They exceeded all of my expectations and I am beyond grateful for everything they’ve done for me. Thank you all SO incredibly much!
