you are as if you were stopped, you should have had your handbrake on and if you were moving you souldn't have been so close, the cop is responsible for you damages though
A stopped car shouldn't hit anything because it's not moving. If a car hits the car behind it must have been in reverse and front ended the vehicle. In that case the car that front ended the vehicle is at fault.
If you are completely stopped, the person behind you will be at fault for BOTH cars since they didn't allow themselves enough time and space to stop safely.
Anyone who hits someone from behind is at fault. Even though it may seem like the driver in front shouldn't have done what they did.
person coming from behind
Depends whose at fault..
the truck behind the other car
If you hit a car from behind, you are going to be held to be at fault. If a car hits you from behind, they are going to be held at fault. Most jurisdictions consider hitting the back of a car prima facia evidence that you were following too closely. You could literally have six cars at fault in this case, each one for hitting the one in front of it.
No. For example if a driver stops at green light and the driver to his rear hits him, it is the driver in front's fault.
It can be, unless your brake lights don't work.
Unless you are backing up, a rear-end collision is almost always the fault of the person who hits you from behind.
It is their fault.
the car in front of you
