Unless you can prove the other car was violating the posted limit, the onus to ensure the road was clear is completely yours. Even if you CAN prove the other car was speeding, this may not remove all of the fault from you.

If a speeding driver hits your car and causes a 4 car accident will his insurance pay for your car and all the cars your was pushed into?
Depends on exactly how it happened. From what you've told us, yes, the speeding driver would be responsible for all the damage if his speeding was the direct (and only) cause of the accident. But if you were trying to beat a red light or were pulling into the street from a driveway or alley, you are also at-fault.
Are you liable for a car accident on private property?
It depends, so here are some scenerios: If there are several cars parked in a private driveway and you back-up or start speeding out of the driveway and hit another car then you are responsible for hitting the other car. If you were speeding on a road and turned a curve and ended up on someone's property you are responsible for the damage done on their property and that includes ripping up gardens, grass, crashing into any part of that home or uprooting trees. If you were on private property and someone else hit you causing you to damage that property then it would be the other person that is responsible.

Does the car speeding show more damage than the car it hit?
It would be unfair to come out with a statement like that. The damage done to a car would be effected by were the impact was I.e. The side of the non speeding car and front of the speeding car. Also the type of car would effect the damage IE. A 4x4 and a Lamborghini the 4x4 could be the one speeding but he could come out better off because the small crunch zone and the 4x4 would proberly go over the Lamborghini. So short answer you can tell who was speeding by damage.

Who is at fault when a car reversing out of a driveway into a public road hits a car who has just backed out and about to move forward?
Here are several opinions from FAQ Farmers: * Always always always the person behind. There are so many reasons you might not see someone behind you, but you should always see the person in front and give them enough room, no matter what they are doing. This is pretty much the view of the insurance companies, too. * The car behind is not necessarily at fault if the car in front is backing up! But if one car is moving and the other is not, 99.99% of the time the moving vehicle is at fault. Think about it. How can a car that is stationary run into anything?
