to blame/fault someone

Hello,
What in your opinion is the difference between:
"A lot of people blamed/faulted him for not acting sooner"
"The truck driver was blamed/faulted for the accident."
"I can't blame/fault him for trying to protect the company's interests ."

They do look the same to me and neither would surprise me. What do you think?
