How to Determine Liability in a Four-Car Rear-End Collision?
1 Answers
If the leading vehicle stops on the road, turns on the hazard warning lights, and sets up warning signs as required, resulting in a rear-end collision, the following vehicle bears full responsibility for the accident. If the following vehicle collides with the leading vehicle that is in motion and the leading vehicle did not intentionally change lanes, the following vehicle is fully responsible for the traffic accident. When driving at night, if the leading vehicle has no taillights and the following vehicle collides with it, the leading vehicle bears secondary liability, while the following vehicle bears primary liability. If the leading vehicle is reversing or rolling back, causing the following vehicle to collide with it, the leading vehicle must bear full responsibility for the accident.
