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.
This depends on the situation, but if you were stationary, not moving and he hit you, he would be at fault. In most cases if the other motorist hits you from behind it is his fault, as you must maintain full control of your vehicle at all times, and if he hit you from behind, that was not the case.
Without some very unusual circumstances, it's going to be the car that read-ended the stopped car. There are very few good reasons for running in to the back of a stopped car.
yes
It is not rare to be in this particular situation. Really, you are not at fault, but you still shouldn't get angry at the other vechicle's driver.Another View: Not enough information is given in the question. If the other car was stopped and waiting for you to back out and YOU ran into THEM, YOU are at fault.If both cars were in simultaneous motion (they were pulling in while you were backing out) BOTH parties are at fault. One for not yielding and the other for backing without caution.
The person who ran into you No contest
If you were in the middle of the intersection it is your fault as you are not legally allowed to enter an intersection unless you have the time to safely complete the turn.
In most jurisdictions it will be considered your fault, especially if you hit the stopped vehicle from behind. In the United States, all state laws require that a driver be in control of his vehicle at all times. It is a common occurrence for a vehicle to break down while being operated on public roads. One should always exercise extra caution when cresting a hill or entering any part of a roadway that we can not see on approach.

Harry and Hermione used the time turner. They went back in time and were waiting in the woods while their past selves were hiding behind the pumpkins.
No "magic" answers here. CH7? did you re-affirm or just assume everything would be OK?? continually paying? well, why does the lender want to cut off their cash flow by repoing? OIC now, what does "i ended up on public assistance while waiting for disability to kick in" have to do with the question??? 9 payments left??? make them and the repo will be stopped.
Usually the driver of the vehicle at the rear, as he/she should be paying attention to what is ahead of them. If you saw him/her reversing out you should have stopped and waited. If you did and were stationary, then the person reversing out is at fault, but you would need witnesses to prove it.
As a police officer, its not an easy of a question as some would think. Now generally as a rule of thumb, a vehicle that is stuck from the rear while stopped, or coming to a stop or what ever the case may be, it its the driver of the vehicle behind them that usually at fault. It is that drivers responsibility to pay attention and to leave enough space between the vehicle in front of them and their vehicle to allow for a quick stop or swerve to avoid hitting the other vehicle. Now besides the fact that there was a motorcycle involved there could be a number of things that could come into play. Was the Motorcycle moving or in a stopped position. Was all the lighting on the bike working, did this happen during a lane change. All questions that have to be asked before deciding who is at a fault in these types of accidents. But to give you a ball park answer, Yes usually when there is a rear collision involving any vehicle, 9 times out of 10 is it the car behind them that is at fault.
