This not always the case, however, it is hard sometimes to prove it wasn’t your fault. There are certainly instances in which an accident occurs when the driver in front is acting in a careless or reckless manner. In Maryland or any state in that event, if the person in front is intoxicated and stops their car suddenly and there is no way to slow down, it would be highly unlikely that you would be considered acting in a negligent manner.

While most car accidents in Maryland are settled with the negligence of the driver in the “rear” there are also cases in which the driver in the “front” is negligent and as a result an accident has occurred. If you are in a position in which you are being blamed regarding this circumstance, I would highly suggest seeking legal representation from a lawyer in Maryland.
