QUESTION
Is there any way to get out of fault for this accident if I later found out the front brake line blew causing brake failure?

Long story short, someone in front of me slammed on the brakes and i rear ended them. There was plenty of room between us and I never recieved a ticket but was put at fault dramatically affecting my insurance rates.

If you can prove the "sudden, unexplained brake failure," then you may argue with your insurance company.

You were at fault. There is no way out as you were operating the car which in turn makes you responsible for it. The brake line issue does not leave you off the hook. You always have to have control of your car.
