In a collision, the second collision is when an unsecured driver strikes the inside of the vehicle.
Chargeable Collision: A collision in which the actions of the driver of a City-owned vehicle are the primary cause of the collision. Normally, the driver will have violated state or local traffic law.
Almost without exception (actually I can't think of any) if a moving vehicle strikes a stopped vehicle from the rear, the operator of the moving vehicle is held responsible. ** The driver of B. That's why and what they were cited for. A strong hint is in the question - the one who strikes another is almost always wrong.
The driver of the motorized vehicle.
Yes, if you have collision insurance. It would be a collision claim and you would have to pay what your collision deductible is. If your car caused damage to someone else's vehicle or property, you would also be liable for the damages.
If the piece broke off as the result of a collision it would be the responsibility of the driver at fault in that collision, if it just fell off the vehicle during a non accident trip it is the responsibility of the owner of the vehicle that the part came from.
Bumpers are usually the first part of a car that connects in a collision. They absorb most of the impact. They are made to protect other parts of the vehicle, not the driver or passengers.
Fault is determined by who committed a driving infraction, not who has insurance. If you have no collision insurance, you are responsible for the damages to your own vehicle unless another driver is determined to be at fault.
Inertia is why - the people keep going after the vehicle stops.
Barring any exclusions in the policy, the insurance 'stays with the car' so your insurance will pay for the damage to the innocent persons vehicle (under your liablity coverage). If you have collison coverage on your vehicle/policy it too will pay to repair your vehicle less the deductible. If there is no collision coverage on your vehicle and the driver has a policy with collision coverage the drivers collision coverage may step in and repair your vehicle, but ONLY if you don't have collision coverage.
