it depends why car 1 stopped. if it was red light and car 1 stopped then it was car 2s fault. if car 1 stopped for no reason, and car 2 hit it, it would be both of their faults.
Another View: The first contributor is correct in stating that the driver of Car #1 MIGHT have contributed to the accident however, the drivers of Car #2 and Car #3 would be charged with either Following Too Closely, or Failing to Give Full Time and Attention to their driving.
the basic fault lies with owner of car 1,for driving a vehicle which is not road Worthy , 3 and 4 are both at fault, as neither left enough stopping room.
Since it was the following car's responsibility to maintain a safe stopping distance from the car in front, the car that rear-ended the stopped vehicle is at fault.
When ever a person hits the car in front of them, they are found at fault. If you hit a car in the rear even though it stops short, you are at fault. You will probably get a ticket and your insurance will go up.
One that stops you car from working.
It would be car one's fault because he was the one who collided with Car 2 causing it to lose control and hit car 3.
Car A is at fault.
Car 1 would be at fault as it was the initiator of the acident.
That depends on the circumstances involved. If you are causing a dangerous situation by blocking traffic, etc. you may be found to be partially at fault.
It is their fault.
the car that hit you in the rear is at fault. think about it this way. What did you do wrong if you were stopped
The at-fault driver in a car accident is the driver who is determined to be primarily responsible for causing the accident.
The third vehicle would be at fault because they hit the second vehicle and pushed it into the first vehicle.
