3 VEHICLE ACCIDENT WHO PAYS FOR MY REAR END DAMAGE?

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.

Yesterday you got into you 3 car accident the driver agead of us stopped immediately making us rear end which you found out was your fault but the pep behind us hit us had jus got a 2010 mitshubsi?

Your right, you are responsible to leave enough distance between you and the vehicle in front of you in order for you to be able to stop. Good measure is one car length for every 10 mph that you are traveling. This also applies to the person behind you. Technically you are responsible for the damage to the front vehicle and the front end damage to your vehicle, and the person behind you is responsible for the damage to your rear end and his damage. Submit your claim quickly to your company and the company of the person behind you and get them a copy of the accident report. Let the insurance companies determine who pays what. Most likely your is totaled as you have front and rear damage if it is extensive. If minor it may not be totaled. Go ahead and look around for the value of vehicles similar to yours in model, condition, mileage, etc so you know the ballpark before an offer is made to you.

No, if you get into another accident the frame will collapse further, and could cause damage to the occupants. Driving a vehicle with a bent frame is also harder to steer because it interferes with your alignment in most cases.

If an uninsured driver in Massachusetts hits a car in front of him and that car hits other cars in front of him is the uninsured driver responsible for the damage of all the cars in the accident?

An exact answer for this question is not possible without a lot more information, but I will try to give a partial answer in order to get this answer started. The actual and final answer will depend on Massachusetts LAW, AND investigative revelation of the true circumstances of the incident. Many years ago I was an auto insurance adjuster in Washington state, and have lived in Texas over 50 years. Based on my experiences, and related knowledge, the answer depends on who hit who when, and in what order. I will present some different situations which would result in different drivers being libel for damages to others. 1.)IF vehicle "A," which was "rear-ended" by the uninsured vehicle ["B"], was "knocked into" the vehicle ["C"] in front of "A," THEN vehicle "A" SHOULD NOT be libel for damage to vehicle "C." The driver of vehicle "B" SHOULD be found at fault for damage to both vehicles "A" and "C". 2.) However, IF vehicle "A" rear-ended vehicle "C," before being rear-ended by vehicle "B," THEN vehicle "A's" driver is responsible for damage to vehicle "C." 3.)However, assigning responsibility for damage really gets tough IF the investigation reveals that AFTER vehicle "A" rear-ended vehicle "C," vehicle "B" then rear-ended the vehicle "A"/vehicle "B" "stack." Theoretically, vehicle "A's" driver is only responsible to vehicle "C" for damage which vehicle "A" caused. And the driver of vehicle "B" SHOULD BE responsible for the damage caused to vehicle "A," and THE PORTION of additional damage to vehicle "C" which was actually caused by vehicle "B" "piling into" vehicles "B" AND "C." Whew!!!!! If this confuses you, don't feel like you are alone. That's why we have armies of investigators, insurance companies, attorneys, juries, and judges. Although I couldn't give you a more definitive answer, I hope this provides some understanding of the scale of the problem, and it's resolution.
