Is the Rear-End Collision Always the Full Responsibility?
1 Answers
The determination of responsibility in a rear-end collision depends on the specific circumstances. Rear-end collision caused by the front vehicle reversing or rolling backward: These two types of rear-end collisions often occur, typically at intersections while waiting for traffic signals. If the front vehicle fails to engage the foot brake, mistakenly shifts into reverse gear, or rolls backward when starting on a slope, and the rear vehicle did not move before the collision occurred, the front vehicle bears full responsibility. Sudden braking by the front vehicle: If the rear vehicle maintains a safe following distance, a rear-end collision can be avoided. However, a complete judgment requires reviewing the rear vehicle's dashcam footage. If the front vehicle intentionally brakes suddenly, it may also share some responsibility.
