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.
Most of the time the car in the rear will be held accountable for the accident, there are times (albeit few) when this is not the case.
The person who was following too closely to stop before hitting the car ahead.
no.not if its a car accident
Yes. In a rear end accident, the liability is still there even if police are not called.
Fault is typically determined by police reports and accident witness(es). In a rear end accident the vehicle striking another in the rear is typically at fault. With multiple cars it is up to the reporting police officer to determine fault.
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.
Because rear end accidents can almost always be avoided by allowing proper stopping distance between you and the car ahead, it is almost universally the fault of the car in the rear. Nothing the car in front can do matters much if the car in the rear is allowing enough distance between them.

yes
Whoever did the rear ending usually
You usually don't. That's why it is called an accident. Like when your front bumper meets the rear bumper of another car. If you plan it, your insurance will deny your claim.
