My son was rear-ended and the other driver claimed my son caused the accident. How does the law decide what is being rear-ended?
A. A rear collision is where one vehicle collides into the rear of another. Typically the person who hits the vehicle in the rear is at fault, However a vehicle that is rear-ended may still be responsible for the accident. If the person stopped suddenly or had improperly working brake lights or turn signals, he/she could be held responsible or partially responsible for the accident.
