Typically, the car that strikes from behind is considered to be the one At Fault. However, there are circumstances that would yield a different result such as a vehicle backing up, for example. In auto collisions, an adjuster is sent to evaluate property damage. Part of this investigation includes gathering evidence such as photographs, statements and police reports to get a clear picture of what occurred. Once the adjuster evaluates everything he or she will make a determination of fault, or lack thereof.

Think about this your are backing up, and your neighbors little boy is playing in your yard, and he isn't supposed to be in your yard and you hit him, (a) did you see him? can you hit him because he is not supposed to be there?
