I will elaborate on this. You are making a a right merging in to the Lane. The Car in front goes ahead, after that, you look to the left to make sure there is no one coming in before going forward. As you are in this process the Driver in front suddenly stops for no reason and you have no time to react. In this situation who is deemed at fault.

Almost always (even if the other person does not have insurance..sheezzzz).
As others have mentioned, everyone has a duty to maintain control of their vehicle. Almost no one stops for "no reason". I've heard that complaint a million times... they always had a good reason. In order for the person in front to be liable you would need to be able to show that they had no reason to stop and should not have stopped in the middle of the road for no reason. This is almost impossible to prove. Many states have case law that cites and example of someone starting up at a green light and then just stopping for no reason in the middle of the road. The person behind has no reason to think the person is going to illegally stop so they would not be 100% at fault for rear ending the person. Again, this is almost impossible to prove and almost never happens.

there is not any regulation that announces the guy interior the lower back is often at fault. normally the guy interior the lower back is negligent for following too heavily. in the journey that your sister replaced into utilising and the different motor vehicle did no longer yield - pulled out in front of her and shrink her off - the different motor vehicle is at fault. How the coverage organization will take care of which could be counted on an impressive variety of issues. Does the police document be sure the presence of the different motor vehicle (i'm assuming it left the scene)? Is there a witness which could be sure the presence of the different motor vehicle and that it pulled out? replaced into there touch between your sisters motor vehicle and the different motor vehicle? you ought to to get a duplicate of the police document and communicate on your coverage agent. finding on what the police document says - it would desire to be deemed a uninsured motorist declare. although, the guidelines selection by utilising state - so how issues artwork the place i'm is probably no longer comparable to the place you're. Take the police document on your agent. they could be waiting that can assist you pick what coverages might word to the loss and in case you will possibly desire to document the declare.

That was what happened to me pulling my bosses trailer full of equipment some old lady in front of me jammed on the brakes at a green light and I couldn't get the truck stopped quick enough. My bosses insurance payed it though. Unfortunately I was blamed for not being in control of my car even though I know she was on the phone or something. What I hate is she cut me off a few minutes before that and I had to swerve when she was on the side of me to avoid her hitting the truck. In fact I still have one more fine coming from that thanks to Michigan's governor Jennifer Granholm. Oh well I guess you live you learn and you watch more closely.

Unless the other car spun in front of you while traveling the opposite direction......
You should adjust your speed and distance so that if anyone stops suddenly in front of you, you are able to avoid hitting them (unless the car behind YOU pushes you forward into them)

Usually yes. One exception I can think of is if you pull out in front of some one and you get hit, you will be charged with failure to yield the right of way.

Not always. The person who hits from the back could be charged with following too closely or driving too fast for road conditions (such as ice or rain)
