Considering this, every accident is different, there are some general considerations that do indicate who is to blame in case of a traffic accident in which two vehicles are involved:

Reach back

HOW TO PRODUCE: One of the most common accidents. You brake and the vehicle will reach just behind you in the rear.

GUILTY: He who has damage to the front. Although the vehicles going forward brake suddenly and back will adequate to track down and keep a safe distance, the culprit is always the vehicle going behind and reaches the vehicle ahead (not to keep distance security).
