Pretty much any time you hit somebody from behind you are at fault, even if someone 'pushed' you into them. It means you didn't stop a safe distance behind the person in front of you. So the only person that isn't At Fault is the person at the front of the line. It may be that the ones in the middle are held jointly responsible with the guy that ran into the line at the back end. There is no such thing as 'stopped a safe distance behind'. It depends on who hit who first. You are not at fault if your car is pushed into the vehicle ahead of you. If car 1 stops and is hit by car 2 and then cars 3 and 4 pile on, 2, 3, and 4 are responsible for their front end damage and the rear damage to the car ahead of them. If 1, 2, and 3 are all stopped at the light and the fourth car pushes them all together, that driver is responsible for ALL the damage.

Could your cars ACV be affected if it was in a previous at-fault crash and then in a second at fault crash that totaled it and the incidents were within 8 months of each other?

Actually I asked this question because it has happened to me. However I just got my offer report from my insurance company and the ACV wasn't affected at all. They went on the cars condition prior to the accident. I suppose the answer here is it depends on your insurance company.

What is no fault auto insurance?

In any state where no-fault auto insurance is required by law, you recover the cost of damage to your auto and to its occupants from your own insurance company. There is no need to prove who was at fault in the accident. For example, if two cars crash each other, each goes to its own insurance company to be reimbursed for the physical damage and medical costs which result.
