FMCSR - ETA's Guide to Determinning Prevenatbility of Accidents:
http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety-security/eta/index.htm
"Preventable Accidents:
Striking Other Vehicle In Rear Preventable If: * Driver failed to ascertain whether vehicle ahead was moving slowly, stopped, or slowing down for any reason. * Driver misjudged rate of overtaking." Unless someone is reading a newer copy of the FMCSA that says plowing into the rear of a slow moving vehicle is not preventable (which I would love to see) this bylaw should clear up any more arguement about who was at fault.
