When a car drives in to the back of you who fault is it?

The fault for a car accident where one car drives into the back of another is typically assigned to the rear-end driver. This is because the rear-end driver has a duty to maintain a safe following distance and to be able to stop in time to avoid a collision. However, there may be exceptions to this rule, such as if the front car suddenly brakes without warning or if the rear-end driver is unable to avoid the collision due to extenuating circumstances. In some jurisdictions, the fault may be shared between the two drivers if both are found to have contributed to the accident.
