You are. Since you were unable to stop in time it means you were following too closely.
the driver behind is not at fault as the in front should be liable as he was negligent
In the UK it is the fault of the driver behind Same here in the USA

Who is at fault when a vehicle is hit from behind on a freeway the driver in front for putting on there brakes and whatpenal code does it follow under?
The car behind you
it is ALLWAYS your fault for FOLOWING TOO CLOSE TO SAFELY STOP.
The car that hit you from behind is at fault.
First, you shouldn't be cutting people off. Whom ever hit the other car from behind would be at fault.
The car in the back is usually at fault in a rear end collision. The only exception would be if the car in front were backing up. The car in back is at fault for hitting you ,but if you are pushed into the car in front of you you are at fault for hitting that car.
No, it is not your fault. If you are hit when driving in front of somebody, it is their fault, irregardless of whether you slowed down or not. Obviously you can't jump in front of somebody and slam on the brakes, but just slowing down does not permit somebody to ram you.
If you are completely stopped, the person behind you will be at fault for BOTH cars since they didn't allow themselves enough time and space to stop safely.
you are, because you hit him/her from behind, you must ALWAYS leave enough room between the car in front of you and yourself.
