Liability in a rear-end accident is determined by which driver or drivers were acting negligently in the moments leading up to the crash.  For example, if the driver in front was stopped at a red light and hit from behind by a distracted driver, the second driver would likely be held liable for the accident. On the other hand, if the driver in front suddenly slammed on their brakes, that driver may be held liable for the crash.","@id":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/rear-end-accidents\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What Are The Main Causes of Richmond Rear-End Accidents?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/rear-end-accidents\/#Answer"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/rear-end-accidents\/#Question"},{"@type":"Question","name":"What Are Common Injuries Caused by Rear-End Accidents?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/rear-end-accidents\/#Answer1"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/rear-end-accidents\/#Question1"},{"@type":"Question","name":"How Is Liability Determined in a Richmond Rear-End Accident?","acceptedAnswer":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/rear-end-accidents\/#Answer2"},"@id":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/rear-end-accidents\/#Question2"}],"name":"Richmond Rear-end Accident FAQ","@id":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/rear-end-accidents\/#FAQPage"}],{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/rear-end-accidents\/#BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Richmond Accident Lawyer","item":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Richmond Car Accident Lawyer","item":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Rear-End Accidents","item":"https:\/\/www.marksandharrison.com\/accident-attorney\/car-accidents\/rear-end-accidents\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
