If you were driving and suddenly a child runs into the street in front of your car, causing you to slam on the breaks and the car behind you to rearend you, who would be responsible?

My experience with accidents is that it's never the people involved in the accident that get to make the decision. It's usually the officer at the scene.
Besides, who cares if someone rear-ended you. Without trying to sound cheesy or anything, you could've killed a child which is worth more than anything anyone could ever buy.

Likely, the guy that rearended you, he would get a ticket for following too close.

The car behind you... The person who rear-ends someone is almost always at fault.. Because they should have been far enough back to have time to stop...

Yes, brian is right - it is the responsibility of the driver behind you to keep a safe distance and to be observant so he can stop in time.

The driver behind you for not having assured clear distance.

If you have insurance and/or the other driver has insurance you have nothing to worry about.

as long as you didn,t hit the child.........you were in control of your vehicle.........the driver behind you was not in control.....therefore they were at fault!
