depends on if they changed lanes safely or not(used their turn signals and changed lanes when safe to do so ) If they did you are At Fault , if not they are . ALLWAYS get a cop out on the scene of a traffic accident , get a report and request that they be cited(given a ticket ) if they illegally change lanes etc , that way you have placed the blame where it should be and had it verified by an independent party (the police) , which is a tough combo to beat in a claim or in court . Good luck

If they backed into you, it's their fault. Failure to yield.
If someone is driving your car and they hit a pedestrian who is at fault?
I believe it could be both persons fault. If you're driving and someone decides to jump in front of your car it's not you fault. If you're driving and aren't being careful or just can't stop in time, than it's your fault. -Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
You changed lanes and hit someone is it your fault?
Yes, it probably would. If you changed lanes and you bump in to someone in front of you, you were not looking. The same for if you bumped into someone behind you.

Can you be prosecuted for rear ending another in car accident?
Each car has a duty of care to survail the road in front of them. No, if you couldn't avoid the accident due to a sudden emergency or someone cutting you off or stopping for no reason in front of you, or yes, if you were both at fault for being on cell phones, eating, or talking to someone in the car and not paying any attention. Basically, the person who has the last clear chance to avoid the accident, but doesn't has to take the blame.
