Who’s to Blame for a Rear-End Collision?
Determining fault in rear-end crashes is often straightforward. Motorists are expected to remain alert to road conditions and always maintain control over their vehicle. When a driver rear-ends another, it’s presumed that the driver was engaging in a behavior that prevented them from stopping in time.
How Do Rear-End Accidents Happen?
- Eating behind the wheel
- Sending and receiving text messages
- Driving too fast
- Tailgating
- Slick or icy roads
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Vehicle defects
