Most assume that you have to be at fault if you rear-end someone. However, there are a lot of things we can look at if you believe you were not at fault in this type of accident.
There is a presumption of negligence in a rear impact crash. However, it is a rebuttable presumption that can be overcome by demonstrating that there was a sudden and unexpected stop. You also sometimes see someone u-turn right in front of someone illegally causing a rear impact where the driver may not be at fault. Every case is different and should be reviewed by an attorney. We have free consultations to help explain these issues.
