During a lifetime in law enforcement I have investigated M-A-N-Y rear end accidents. Unless the car in front of you suddenly moved in reverse and ran into you, YOU will be found At Fault. How is it possible for YOU to run into someone due to THEIR negligence? The negligence lies with the striking vehicle (i.e.- Following too close for conditions - Failing to give full time and attention to your driving - Failing to have your vehicle under control.) Take your pick.

It depends on the situation. If you stoped short and got rear ended it is your fault. But if you stoped becasue the driver in front of you stoped then it is that persons fault.

the driver that rear ended the car.

Rear ended in California with a lapse in auto insurance is the person that hit you still responsible for medical injuries?
I am not familiar with California laws but... In 99% of cases, the person who rear-end's you is at fault. If the other person is at fault, they are liable for damages and medical injuries. The fact that you are not insured does not make the at fault driver not responsible for damages and injuries that he or she causes.

Will your driving record be affected negatively if you were rear ended by a driver who admits fault and has insurance in the state of Texas?
It depends. Were you also in the State of Texas when the accident happened? In most cases a rear end collision is the complete fault of the person hitting from the rear and will not affect the claimant's rates. MyInsuranceXpert

If you made a quick stop due to a pedestrian in a crosswalk at a busy intersection and were rear ended by a second car which was rear ended by a third who is at fault?
If the car that rearended you without being hit by the third car first then the car in the middle is at fault for your damage and the third car is at fault for the damage to the rear end of the middle car. The first car is not at fault for the quick stop.
Who will be determined at fault when you get rear ended in traffic and the other party claims you rolled back into them?
The police usually give a ticket to the person who got rear-ended. If they have insurance, the insurance company sometimes do an investigation to determine who was at fault for insurance purposes. Also, personally I would obtain an attorney who specializes in traffic law and ask their professional advice.
