Yes, car 2 would need to assume the costs of car 3. Car 3 would not have to assume the costs since car was not in motion.
Added: It is questionable whether Car 2 could be held liable or not. In this particular case, the insurors of both Car 2 and Car 3 would probably go to subrogation to settle the damages.
If someone hits a parked car then they are automatically liable.
no
They are.
The control arm is attached to your front wheels and a pivot point attached to the frame, when your wheel hits a bump or hole, the wheel moves up and down via the shocks, the bumper keeps the control arm from slamming against the frame, destroying your wheel alignment along with the tire and wheel well
As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
jesus
You file a report claim.
When a moving car hits a parked car, energy is transferred from the moving car to the parked car. The kinetic energy of the moving car is transferred to the parked car, causing it to move. Some energy is also converted into other forms, like sound and heat, during the collision.
Answer: The vehicle that initiates the collision is at fault.
The person who drove their car into the parked car.
When a moving car hits a parked car and causes it to move, the kinetic energy of the moving car is transferred to the parked car. This increase in kinetic energy causes the parked car to start moving. Some of the energy is also dissipated as sound, heat, and deformation of the cars during the collision.
they are both screwed
