no
The person behind you should not be tailgating (even though many people still do this today). It also depends on how close you are to the front of the car. In this circumstance, you are not at fault. The tailgater is At Fault. For a reminder, always keep a distance at low or high speeds. Tailgating is one of the top causes of car accidents. Stay safe out there.

Generally when you are hit in the rear by another vehicle and both cars a re moving on a road the party in the back is deemed at fault. This is not always the case depending on factors causing the accident but most of the time it is the fault of the person who hit the other one in the rear. The reason for this is that if you hit someone from behind, you are the one who could have stopped the accident from happening. You were usually following the other vehicle too closely and did not have time to stop. This is usually the case.
