I Got Into A Car Accident Due To Someone Else Cutting Another Driver Off. Can It Be Considered My Fault? 
That is a great question ! I 'm very sorry that you had to ask it , and I hope that you and the other driver and your passengers -LRB- if any -RRB- are okay . It sounds as if you were in a bad place at the wrong time . The insurance company will most certainly have their claims investigators look at this case . While thay will surely do their best to help out everyone involved , they will also try to ensure that everyone who had a part in the accident is shown to the insurers . Your statement said you hit him at 65mph as you `` were about to exit . '' You may be at fault in their eyes if that is above the posted speed limit , or deemed to be too fast for conditions . If there was not a reasonable opportunity for the other driver to pull into your lane safely because of your speed or closeness to the vehicle in front of you , you may very well be legally at fault . Generally speaking , if you hit someone from behind or the backsides of the car , you are going to be found at fault , as you should have had time to react and avoid them . Generally , not always . I hope that it works out for you , and again , I 'm glad no one was hurt . Thank you for asking .
