[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"The driver in the rear may not be liable for a rear-end crash in some situations. One common case where the rear-ending vehicle may not be liable is if the leading vehicle cuts off the rear driver and abruptly stops or slows down, making it impossible for them to stop in time to avoid a rear-end car accident.  Additionally, if the front driver is reversing at the time of the accident or driving erratically and causes their vehicle to be rear-ended, the court may find them to be the at-fault party for the accident.  Another scenario that may shift blame from the rear driver is when the accident occurs due to a defective auto part. The manufacturer may be liable if a mechanical failure led to the rear-end collision.","@id":"https:\/\/www.sherrodandbernard.com\/blog\/who-is-at-fault-after-a-rear-end-accident-in-georgia\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"The success of your personal injury claim will depend on your ability to demonstrate fault.

As long as you are less than 50 percent responsible for the accident, you still have a right to recover compensation for your injuries and losses from the crash. However, since Georgia has modified comparative negligence laws, your share of fault will directly influence the amount of money you receive for your case.  A successful claim for compensation against another driver involves demonstrating their negligence was a major factor in your accident.
