In a semi truck, yes. You should always have control of your vehicle. We had a driver do exactly that, and the insurance company said, fire him. Did I believe it was right, no. Can you argue with an insurance company, no. Catch 22.

LOL I'm sure the insurance people would not understand. If it was a valid reason, don't you think then, that anyone in a car accident would just say "Oh, I sneezed." There would even be a box to check off that would exempt you from any penalties or fees at the insurance company's place and the DMV that said "DRIVER SNEEZED" and they could check it off and you'd be free. No, it doesn't work that way unfortunately. Everyone would be saying they sneezed or farted and no one would get stuck with any responsibility. What if a diesel ran over your car and the driver said "I sneezed." Would you be like "Okay man, no big deal. I'll just buy a new car, you dont worry about it." NoooOoOpe.

I don't know but I almost got in an accident last time I sneezed. It doesn't help that I always sneeze twice in a row for some reason.
I once knew a girl that sneezed 7 consecutive times every time she sneezed. That would be interesting.

It would depend on the situation. If you were so close to someone that you ran into the back of them when you momentarily closed your eyes it would obviously be your fault because you shouldn't be that close in any conditions, however slow you may be travelling. I once read about someone getting away with it for this reason. I don't think she should have. (But that was in Australia).

Technically yes
Legally yes
When you drive a vehicle you have a weapon in your hand.
Let me put it this way: - If you sneezed and you hit a child, it would be your fault, - so if you hit another vehicle - yes it is your fault.

Whilst you could argue that it was not your 'fault', it would clearly be your responsibility.
Ask yourself the simple question 'If this happened and a serious accident was caused by this, if there anyone else against whom a claim could be made?'
The clear answer is 'NO'

it's your fault because it's your sneeze.
the other driver didn't cause the crash, you did.
