If you were the 3rd driver in a rear end accident where the car in front of you hit the car in front of it and you hit the 2nd car who is at fault if you didn't see their brake lights come on?
you are at fault of the vehicle you hit, it is possible you were following too close, the other veh is at fault of the veh they hit and you are at fault of vehicle you hit. Insurance and accident investigators generally use a method referred to as "chain of causation". During the investigation they determine which car was the last car in motion and then work from that point. Using this process in regards to multiple rear end collisions they are usually able to discover which driver made the first violation or error that created the accident. That means that the driver of a vehicle that struck another one from the rear is not necessarily the one at fault.
What if the car in front of the car you hit doesn't get hit are you at fault?
Assuming the question is asking in a three car accident the rear most vehicle doesn't strike the front vehicle, could fault be assigned to the rear most vehicle. Answer: Yes, in many states. Laws vary from state to state and depending on the circumstances and the reporting of the police officer on the scene. The officer would determine fault in the accident, which most typically falls on the rear most vehicle who initiated the collision. You are at fault for any vehicle you strike in a rear end accident.
