A rear-end collision may seem like a straightforward accident, but fault is not always automatically assigned to the driver who hit the vehicle in front.
Comparative fault can still play an important role in determining responsibility. Factors such as sudden stops, unsafe driving actions, road conditions, and other circumstances surrounding the crash may affect how fault is evaluated.
In Indiana, the percentage of fault assigned to each party can impact the amount of compensation available. That is why gathering evidence and understanding the full details of the accident are critical.
Every crash is different, and the facts matter when determining liability and damages.
