It depends on the state, jurisdiction, and sometimes even the insurance company; however, in many cases, the vehicle from behind is At Fault.
Most traffic investigators (whether they be law enforcement or with the insurance) agree that the second vehicle (or the vehicle from behind) is delegated the responsibility of following from a reasonable distance.
If the second vehicle is not capable of stopping in time, it's generally because they were following too close to the vehicle in front of them.

What insurance covers the driver who is at fault?
Assuming that the at-fault driver maintained it at the time of the collision, his/her auto liability coverage would be triggered.
Why is it your fault if you have no collision insurance?
Fault is determined by who committed a driving infraction, not who has insurance. If you have no collision insurance, you are responsible for the damages to your own vehicle unless another driver is determined to be at fault.
Who is liable in a car accident where the driver at fault calls the police the other driver leaves the scene and no police report is filed?
The driver at fault is liable for the collision, regardless of the other driver's actions post-collision. The fleeing driver may later be brought up on Hit and Run or Leaving the Scene of an Accident charges, but that will not change the at fault liability.
What if you were in a car accident and it was not your fault but you had no collision?
If the police report says the other driver was at fault, try to recover from his or her insurance company. If you don't have collision coverage, you can't collect from your insurance company.
What can you do if you are involved in an accident was not your fault and the other driver has no insurance?
if you have collision coverage file under that then your company will subrogate the uninsured driver...if no collision coverage you can file a state report, and/or small claims action.....
Who is at fault in side impact collision when changing lanes?
Generally, the person that was changing lanes would be at fault. It would be hard to find fault in the other driver if they were stationary in their lane.
Who is at fault if a driver aggressively braked and the driver behind hit the bumper and back passenger side of the car?
In almost every case of a rear end collision, it is the fault of the car behind. The law in all states implies that the driver of a vehicle should always be in control. The assumption is, that rearend collision can be avoided if the driver had been paying attention and not following too close.
Who is at fault if Driver B was changing lanes and then Driver A rear ends Driver B and then Driver B leaves the scene of the accident?
The fact driver B left the scene does not change that driver A is at fault (there are exceptions to driver A being at fault)Additional: While Driver A may have been the striking vehicle, Driver B MAY be at fault for "Changing Lanes Without Caution." Regardless of the circumstances of the collision itself, Driver B can be charged with "Leaving the Scene of an Accident."
Who is at fault if A stops suddenly at a green light cause they thought it was red and driver B rear ends driver A?
both a and b (i think...)
Who is at fault when driver A spins out on the freeway from slick roads and driver B hits driver A?
Both drivers failed to maintain proper control of their vehicles. Driver A lost control. Driver B failed to avoid the collision.
