Liability for Rear-End Auto Accidents in Midland and Odessa

In most cases involving a rear-end crash, the driver who struck the rear of another vehicle is considered to be at fault and is liable for causing the accident. Such liability often remains even if the first vehicle stopped or slowed suddenly. Basic rules of the road require that a driver be able to stop safely if a car or truck ahead slows or stops for any reason. If the trailing driver cannot stop in time to avoid a collision, there is a good chance that he or she was not driving safely. Rear-end accidents are often the result of driver distraction, and many such crashes have been linked with cell phone use while driving.

Sometimes, however, chain-reaction accidents can make the question of liability more difficult. If a driver, for example, rear-ends a vehicle at the end of a line of cars stopped at a red light, the struck vehicle may be pushed into the vehicle just ahead, and so on. Most chain-reaction crashes involve a number of rear-end impacts, and determining who is at fault may be challenging.
