People tend to hold on to the old misconception that someone who rear-ends another vehicle must automatically be at fault for an accident. The law simply isn’t that black-and-white. At the end of the day, it’s about find the factor that was more likely than not the cause of the collision. Whether that’s distraction, brake-checking, road design, brake failure, faulty tires, a medical condition, etc., it’s up to investigations to gather the evidence and let it speak for itself. The question is if authorities have been investigating things thoroughly enough to rule out even unlikely possible factors. If not, they might miss something important that would take more thorough independent investigations to bring to light.
