When Rear Ended Who’s At Fault

Sometimes, rear-end collisions involve more than two vehicles. The car in back hits a car in front, causing a chain reaction accident in which the front vehicle then hits another vehicle in front. In these accidents, determining fault can be more complex than in a two-car collision.

In general, the driver of the rear-most vehicle is typically at fault in a rear-end collision. However, if the driver of the middle vehicle was also following too closely or was otherwise negligent in their driving, they may also be found to be at fault for the accident. Similarly, if the driver of the front vehicle stopped or braked suddenly without warning, or was driving recklessly or in a manner that contributed to the accident, they may also be found to be at fault.

If you were in the middle car or the front car, the rear driver might deny doing anything wrong and try to somehow blame you or someone else for causing your collision. Never take anything for granted. Always consult with an experienced rear-end accident attorney.

Rear-ended in a parking lot – who’s at fault?

Rear-end accidents often occur in parking lots. There are so many cars in the same place at the same time doing different things – driving, parking, backing out or backing into a parking spot. There are also often pedestrians entering and exiting the parking lot, and motorists have to maneuver to avoid collisions. As a result, rear-end parking lot accidents often occur.

Examples of rear-end parking lot accidents include:

  • One car backs out of a parking spot into a moving car or parked car.
  • One car rear-ends another vehicle that is stopped to turn into a parking spot or waiting for another car to back out.
  • A car stops short to avoid hitting a pedestrian and is rear-ended by another car.

So who’s at fault? Again, the rear driver is usually at fault, but in the chaotic environment of a parking lot, that can get complicated. That’s why it’s so important for the injured person to hire a rear-end accident lawyer who can conduct a thorough investigation.
