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.

If a driver of a truck towing a camper that exceeds the truck manual's towing rating is involved in an accident is the truck driver at fault?
If he was at fault, regardless of whether he was pulling a camper or not, he would be responsible. Pulling a camper doesnt make you responsible for an accident if that was the only thing you did wrong. If someone rear-ended him, its their fault, if he rear ended someone or ran a red light, then yes, its his fault.
Who is liable in a rear end collision if the car that was rear ended was parked?
As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
