If Someone Rear-Ends My Car While I Am Stopped, And I Had One Drink, Who Is At Fault?

Quick answer

If you're rear-ended after one drink, who's at fault? Not you, if you were stopped and driving properly—but Oakland attorney Andrew Dósa notes such a crash still counts as 'alcohol-related' in national statistics if any alcohol is in your system. He argues that overbroad definition inflates the numbers, even when the sober driver actually caused the collision.
