A rear end automobile accident, also called a rear end crash, happens when a vehicle in back (the rear vehicle) hits the back of the vehicle in front of it (the front vehicle). It does not matter if either vehicle involved is a car, truck or motorcycle. If one runs into the back of the other, it is considered a rear end auto accident. It also does not matter how many cars, trucks, or motorcycles are involved. In fact, many times rear end crashes involve more than just two vehicles. This type of multi car crash is more common on highways and freeways.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) nearly half of all traffic accidents involve a rear end accident. Given the sheer number of times a rear end car accident occurs, it is important to know what it is, how fault is determined, who is at fault when it happens, and how to avoid it.

The two most common types of sideswipe accidents occur when changing lanes and when merging. This article will address who is at fault inwhen changing lanes.

In most cases, it is very easy to determine who is at fault for hitting a parked car. The general rule is that the driver that hits the parked car is at fault for hitting a parked car. The reason the driver is usually at fault is because the car was parked and not moving. So, the parked car cannot move out of the way to avoid the accident. The driver that hits a parked car, on the other hand, usually does have the ability to move out of the way. The driver has a duty to pay attention to the road ahead and see what can be seen. Therefore, the driver usually has the opportunity to see the parked car and avoid it.
