Transcript
Rear-ended? Fault isn't always automatic. Drivers must keep a safe following distance, so the driver in back is usually blamed first. But a front driver who suddenly reverses, cuts in too close, or has dead brake lights can share the fault. Many states then split the blame by percentage, which can shrink what each driver recovers.
