that entirely depends on the circumstances.

Do you have access to a police report, diagram or photos of the accident scene to determine the motorcyclist "should have been paying more attantion"? How do you know the circumstances of his view?

Just a comment.
No access to a police report, just practical experience. In these times of cell phones, texting, and etc., you should be riding with your head on a swivel so to speak, or at least I do.

Like I said, what she did was not real bright and perhaps she should shoulder the majority of the blame. Without being there, we dont know either way. Were there no stopping, standing, parking signs? Who knows?

In most cases here, if you rear end another vehicle, you are at fault. Granted what she did was not real bright, but the biker should have been paying more attention IMHO. And I am a motorcyclist as well.
