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.

  • Slick or icy roads
