Went to the dealership, they confirmed it's an alignment issue. I asked if an alignment is standard after being rear ended, they said no.

For context, my car was rear ended in December by a person going about 25 mph. I got it fixed at my dealership's body shop. Received the car back Jan 10. That same day, I got an inspection and passed. Two months later my rear tires are worn to the bands.

They told me there's no way to connect the alignment to the accident and that I could have hit a pothole at some point. They denied any liability for the tires.
The wear concentrated on the inside edges is a toe (in) problem. Rather common for cars with independent rear suspension.

With the tires worn out to state the obvious you are faced with getting the tires replaced.

Then to keep this from happening again getting the car in for a proper alignment.

I always ask the steering wheel be centered/level and for a before and after printout.
