In order to determine who is at fault in an auto accident, law
enforcement officers use several factors. They may, for example, determine that
a specific driver was not paying attention or was talking on their cell phone
when it is illegal to do so. In some auto accidents, fault is distributed
between drivers at a percentage. In most rear-end auto accidents, the driver
that hits the car in front of them is at fault, regardless of other
circumstances.
Drivers that hit the car in front of them in auto accidents are at
fault because it is their responsibility to have enough room to stop before
hitting the car in front of them. In most cases, auto accidents that involved a
car hitting the car in front of it, the car in the back is attributed 100
percent fault.
