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.

What if someone rear ends you and you have no license but you have insurance the person who hit you has insurance?

AnswerNo brainer. The person who hit you is at fault. Doesn't matter if you have a license or not. Not having a license doesn't give the other driver a free shot at rear ending you.AnswerIn most states, insurance companies require a police report of an accident. To have a police report, the police have to go to the accident scene in order to write one. Most rear end accidents are the fault of the person who hit the rear of a car. However, if you did not report the accident to the police because you have no license, you may be out of luck with the insurance company.
