More details to this question:
I was involved in an accident in june of this year, I was exiting onto the highway and had merged into my lane after I had the clear, this car had stopped in front of me and at that moment I tried to avoid hitting her and couldn't swerve in the other lane. I hit her in the rear there was no injuries at the time so a week later the car I hit said I was at fault. Was I at fault?

Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for your inquiry. You gave a good description, but it is not possible to fully evaluate a case just based on your description. A police report would give further evidence gathered at the scene by the officer based on his or her investigation. Generally, though, if you rear end another car, you will likely be considered at fault. It may be possible the other driver is also partially at fault, which would bar them from recovering anything from your insurance company; but it is likely that you would be found at fault as well and most likely the other driver would not be found at fault.
