Typically, in rear-end collisions, the rear vehicle is to blame and assumes liability to cover the damages. However, there are certain scenarios where the front driver is partially at fault. For example, if the vehicle in front of you stops abruptly for no reason and without any warning, then they could be to blame. There are also cases where a vehicle is at a complete stop at a traffic light and another vehicle hits them from behind causing them to hit the person in front of them.
