Typically, the car that strikes from behind is considered to be the one At Fault. However, there are circumstances that would yield a different result such as a vehicle backing up, for example. In auto collisions, an adjuster is sent to evaluate property damage. Part of this investigation includes gathering evidence such as photographs, statements and police reports to get a clear picture of what occurred. Once the adjuster evaluates everything he or she will make a determination of fault, or lack thereof.
If YOU are the driver of the vehicle that started the chain collision, and pushed the car you hit into the car in front ot it. - YOU are responsible.
The driver has the sole responsibility as they were behind the wheel.
The car that hit you from behind.
The one responsible for that is the person who own the car that hits your car.
you need to file a claim against their insurance company- anyone who hits you from behind was not alert enough to stop in time- unless this is a fraud most people who are hit from behind should not be at fault
It varies from state to state. In California the renter is responsible for any and all damages regardless of fault. It's up to the renter to go after the person that caused the damage.
The car behind you
Think about this your are backing up, and your neighbors little boy is playing in your yard, and he isn't supposed to be in your yard and you hit him, (a) did you see him? can you hit him because he is not supposed to be there? We are responsible to know what is behind us and be aware of where our car is going. Two wrongs do not make it right. I think you are responsible for hitting a car that is behind you when your are backing up.
is fault of car behind the second car not yours
Yes, you are responsible for all the damage caused by your accident therefore if an object you hit goes on to cause further damage as a result of being hit then you are responsible for all the damage.
First, you shouldn't be cutting people off. Whom ever hit the other car from behind would be at fault.
The driver of the first striking car is responsible for all subsequent damage.
