Who is at fault if a driver aggressively braked and the driver behind hit the bumper and back passenger side of the car?

Answer

In almost every case of a rear end collision, it is the fault of the car behind. The law in all states implies that the driver of a vehicle should always be in control. The assumption is, that rearend collision can be avoided if the driver had been paying attention and not following too close.
