Not always. A recent "road rage" type encounter on E470 in Colorado led to a murder conviction for the guy that got hit from behind. He was weaving in and out of traffic and brake-checked the victim after swerving in front of him.
Pretty extreme case, but traffic investigators are increasingly cautious about assigning fault in rear end collisions due to road rage and fake insurance cases.
