Nobody is At Fault ... Driver B left the scene of an accident ... it was "B's" fault, but you do not know who Driver B is, so there is nobody to blame.
Probably better off anyway - chances are Driver B had no insurance, let alone a drivers license ... and even if they had stayed and were charged with being at fault, your own insurance would wind up repairing the damage you your vechicle.
AnswerDriver B- Sounds like he was an idiot! AnswerIf driver A was "cutting up" driver B while changing lanes (e.g. sees their exit and crosses two lanes full of traffic to get to it) then they may be at fault.If driver B was frightened by this action they may leave the scene fearful that aggressive driver A is going to attack them. They may be making their way to a police station to report the incident.
AnswerFrom what I understand, driver B is by default the most likely to be at fault unless the facts are reviewed and point to another conclusion, ESPECIALLY if driver B is within X car lengths of driver A.Lewis hamiltons

Who is at fault if Driver B was changing lanes and then Driver A rear ends Driver B and then Driver B leaves the scene of the accident?
The fact driver B left the scene does not change that driver A is at fault (there are exceptions to driver A being at fault)Additional: While Driver A may have been the striking vehicle, Driver B MAY be at fault for "Changing Lanes Without Caution." Regardless of the circumstances of the collision itself, Driver B can be charged with "Leaving the Scene of an Accident."

No, if you were negligent, and 'at fault' you still are, however, if they leave the scene doesn't sound like you will have to fix their vehicle, but you could still have a 'chargeable' accident on your policy.
Is a driver with no insurance at fault in an accident?
He may be at fault for not having insurance. He may or may not be at fault for the accident. Whether or not a driver carries insurance is a separate issue than the one concerning who is at fault in an accident. Do not confuse them or let them overlap. A good, objective assessor won't.
