The driver who rear ended you is at fault.
In New Jersey it is the driver who rear ended him who is at fault. However, that does not mean that the illegal unlicensed driver will not face deportation.
Yes. In a rear end accident, the liability is still there even if police are not called.
It depends on the situation. If you stoped short and got rear ended it is your fault. But if you stoped becasue the driver in front of you stoped then it is that persons fault. If you are sitting at a stop light and get rear ended it is there fault. If you are parked in a parking zone and get rear ended it is there fault. Hope this Helped
if the driver of the car that was hit has cut in front of you and put on his brakes giver you no chance to stop before u rear ended the other driver.
that does not matter, the person who rearended will be at fault
The presumption is that if you were rear ended, the other driver is at fault. The brake lights not working is a mitigating factor, but the bulk of the blame still goes with the other driver. Insurance doesn't have any relation to fault. But it coculd get you a ticket.
Bummer.
any time you are rear ended, it is the other driver's fault, from an insurance standpoint. if you have comp and collision, your insurance company will get you a replacement vehicle. If you only have liabiliy, i am sorry to say, you get nothing.
First, Are you the uninsured driver or the person who was rear-ended? It doesn't matter which party is asking, or that the highway was in Alabama either. The driver who rear-ends another car at a red light is at fault 99.9+ percent of the time. But the other driver cannot ORDER him to pay, unless he happens to also be the presiding judge who hears the lawsuit (maybe Alabama does matter, after all).
the driver that rear ended the car. The person that rear ended will probably get hit with a following too close (if they weren't they would have noticed the other vehicle slow down or stop) and an At Fault Accident and the car that got rear ended would probably get an equipment violation for their brake lights out.
The only thing you can do is, sue the other driver for the damages to your car. Since he was not insured, chances are, he is irresponsible and you may have to find a way to enforce your judgment on your own.
