Albuquerque Rear-End Accident Attorney

Who is at fault in a rear end crash?

In most cases, a rear-end car accident will be considered the fault of the following driver. In rare cases, the following driver may not be found to be solely at fault. If the leading driver stopped illegally or pulled out directly in front of the following driver, he or she may be deemed to be partially responsible. An insurance company will frequently engage in actions to reduce the value of a claim, even in cases in which the liability is clear. A settlement offer may be far lower than is possible, and it is advised that you speak with our car accident attorney in Albuquerque before you provide any information to the insurance company of the negligent driver. How your case is managed can have a great impact on the final settlement negotiated for you.
