In California, a legal principle known as the “rear-end collision presumption” is applied in cases of rear-end accidents. This principle assumes that the driver of the vehicle that struck the rear of another vehicle is at fault, unless proven otherwise. However, it is important to note that this presumption is not absolute, as laws may differ and the specific circumstances, evidence, and judicial discretion can influence the assignment of fault in an accident.
If you have been involved in a rear-end collision or have specific legal inquiries related to a California accident, it is recommended to consult a qualified attorney who specializes in personal injury cases. They can provide guidance based on the unique details of your situation. Contact Pacific Attorney Group today for assistance.
