no, if all info is correct, these chain reaction accidents, (assuming each party had one impact) should fall on the guy behind you (that started the chain reaction), for all vehicle's damages and injuries......
it is ALLWAYS your fault for FOLOWING TOO CLOSE TO SAFELY STOP.
Yes. Yes, because you caused the front bumper to mess up by running into the back one, therefore, you are responsible.
Your right, you are responsible to leave enough distance between you and the vehicle in front of you in order for you to be able to stop. Good measure is one car length for every 10 mph that you are traveling. This also applies to the person behind you. Technically you are responsible for the damage to the front vehicle and the front end damage to your vehicle, and the person behind you is responsible for the damage to your rear end and his damage. Submit your claim quickly to your company and the company of the person behind you and get them a copy of the accident report. Let the insurance companies determine who pays what. Most likely your is totaled as you have front and rear damage if it is extensive. If minor it may not be totaled. Go ahead and look around for the value of vehicles similar to yours in model, condition, mileage, etc so you know the ballpark before an offer is made to you.
The car behind you is responsible for the damage to both cars. They are also responsible for putting you and the other driver in a rental car while your cars are being fixed.
Well in occured at a low speed, do you know how much damages will cost. There was no damage to my car, but his cars bumper paint peeled off and it kind of crushed very little. We exchanged some information, but no insurance information yet. Is this going to cost a lot of money you think? The person behind has the right to be annoyed that the lead driver stopped abruptly, but the simple fact is, you're responsible for hitting the car in front of you in the situation you described.
If YOU are the driver of the vehicle that started the chain collision, and pushed the car you hit into the car in front ot it. - YOU are responsible.
the driver behind is not at fault as the in front should be liable as he was negligent
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.
Nothing, if she as at fault she is responsible to the damages of her car.
Responsible for what? If there is no damage or injuries there is nothing to be responible for is there? Are you negligent , more than likely, but if no damage, no claim. Did you make contact with the other vehicle? please be more specific/detailed and I will be able to assist you more.
Behind the Front was created in 1995.
The car that hit you from behind is at fault.
