Rear-End Accident Attorneys in Austin
Who Is At Fault for Rear-End Accidents?
Rear-end accidents make up some of the most common types of car accidents in Texas and throughout the nation. In most cases, the rear driver is at fault for such collisions. This is because drivers are responsible for keeping a safe distance from the car in front of them. When they fail to do so, it’s unlikely that they’ll be able to stop in time should the car in front of them need to stop suddenly. However, not all rear-end accidents are the fault of the rear driver. If the driver in front is not exercising reasonable care or is negligent—for example, if he has received a ticket for his brake lights being out but has failed to fix them—he can be held liable.
