Yes and no. In Florida, there is a presumption of negligence in a rear end collision case. However, the presumption can be rebutted by facts such as the car in front suddenly stopped or suddenly changed lanes. Certainly, if the facts are that you were stopped at a red light and someone crashed you from behind, then that would be a pretty clear case. But if there was evidence that you suddenly stopped just before the accident or changed lanes in front of the car, then the presumption could be rebutted.
