Rear-end collision

The rear-end collision is a type of road traffic accident.

The fault for this event is usually when the colliding vehicle driver who is not complied with the safety distance and thus not required on the road due diligence has to exercise.

This basic assumption is a so-called prima facie evidence. Can demonstrate that the front man for example, has slowed down suddenly and completely unexpectedly and the brakes due to traffic was not necessary, however, the man behind this presumption is rebutted. The front man is then - even insurance law - part of the blame attributed to the collision.

Also pile-ups due to bad weather and unangepasstem pace among the rear-end collisions. The damage caused thereby will of the German automobile insurers often in the ratio 1 /3: controlled 2/3 at the expense of the background man. Do not are also cases in which only the rear damage is replaced, however, the frontal damage.

If a so-called Kettenauffahrunfall occurs, the damage is also regulated proportionately, the causal contribution has to be found out. Can a sole guilt of Letztauffahrenden be excluded for lack of concrete evidence, it comes in an accident involving three vehicles involved in a possible claim-sharing of 50 % on the second and 50% on the third vehicle driver.

Drivers of vehicles (also Auffahrwarngerät ) are equipped with a proximity warning device will be warned when you are too close to a vehicle in front of it or a traffic obstacle of this unit.
