How Is Liability Determined in a Rear-End Accident?

Liability in a rear-end accident is generally assigned to the driver who struck the vehicle in front. However, there are cases where the front driver may share some liability. Determining fault requires a thorough examination of the accident circumstances. Common factors include:

  • Following Too Closely: Tailgating is one of the leading causes of rear-end accidents.
  • Distracted Driving: Texting or talking on the phone can cause a driver to fail to stop in time.
  • Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, or fog can affect visibility and stopping distance, complicating liability.
  • Sudden Stops: If the driver in front stopped abruptly, they may share partial fault.

The attorneys at Fielding Law will conduct a detailed investigation to establish liability and ensure you are treated fairly.
