Car one and car two.
You would be legally at fault for all damage to both vehicles, and yes car 2 can make a claim on your insurance as well as car 1's.

Hello,
This is quite simple. The person who caused the accident bears the responsibility. Car 1 is in no way at fault as it has been shunted into the vehicle in front.
There are 2 ways this could be dealt with
1. car 1 and car 2 claim directly from your insurance
2. car 1 deals with car 2 claim (as no dispute car 1 hit car 2) and then claims both car 1 and car 2 claims back from you.

Check with your insurance company and let them sort it out! They will want to pay out as little as possible and will know for certain who will be able to claim. However, it may depend upon how fast you were going at the time!
I was always told to leave a gap so I could see the road between me and the car in front when in a traffic queue so that my brakes should hold me if I get hit. This was because I would be liable if I hit the car in front, but that it depended upon how fast the person who hit me was going at the time of impact.
However, it sounds as though you had an expensive accident!

In the 1st instance I believe you are responsible for car 1,
In the 2nd instance, if car 1 hits car 2 the driver of car 1 is responsible as they were to close to car 2 to avoid impact.
Check it out with insurers as not 100 pc

They can both claim off your insurance. Car one can also claim from car 2.

They both claim off your insurance if you were to blame for the accident.
If the accident wasn't your fault then the car you hit claims off your insurance and the car that was hit after claims off the car you hit - just depends who was negligently driving.

Since car 1 would not have hit car 2 without your 'help', you are responsible for the damage to both vehicles.

if it was on the road say at traffic lights and ended up as a shunt, or on a motorway pile up then the vehicle you hit would claim off you which is car 1, but if you hit a parked car and that hit another then both would claim off you .
