Some people here don't remember the basics of driver ed. You hit the car in front of you. That is 100% your fault, period, no ifs, ands or buts. If he then hit the car in front of him, he was stopped improperly. Remember the lesson where they told you stop at least far enough back you can see the rear tires of the car in front of you touching the road? The guy you hit didn't do that, so he shares in the fault for that one. So you are 100% at fault for one, and possibly 50% at fault for the other. As far as you go "The Mullet", I wager I have been driving longer than you have been alive. If you go past a million miles and are still alive and kicking as I am, come back and see me. My brother was injured in an accident where the car behind him was pushed violently into him. He was pushed forward, and did not hit the vehicle in front. Any guesses why? Read the manual for driver ed. If you can see the tires of the vehicle touch the road in front of you, you are far less likely to be pushed into the vehicle in front of you, and that is simple physics. Read the other posters, and you will realize I am not the only one in the world that has learned this.

let me guess this right, you were the last vehicle in a row and you struck the middle car that had already struck the car in front, or the middle car then struck the car after you struck it...hmmmm yep you are at fault, for failure to control speed to avoid a collision and possibly following to closely. Slow down, add distance and use good judgement. This accident would have just got you between 3 and 5 points on your license.

NO absolutely definitely not, you hit the car in front, end as far as you are concerned.
The car that you hit was too close to the car in front of it,that's why it got hit.
granted the middle car's insurance co will try to blame you & recoup costs from you/your insurance but if you are with a big co (no names) they will fight your corner.
But still be prepared for a long drawn out claim
Incidentally unlike r-t said above you won't get points,hell it was an ACCIDENT,anyway police even attend,unless some1 is/was injured.
Good luck

You are responsible for the rear damage to the vehicle you hit, and part of the front if you caused it to again hit the vehicle in front of it. No way around that. Just hope no conflict arises and that the other vehicles don't claim you started the whole chain reaction.

You are only at fault to the car in front of you. The car you knocked should keep a safe distance in his front, so he'll be answerable to the car infront of him.

If you hit someone from the rear, it's Fail to Control Speed. Guess who's at fault?

Yes of course. Think like what would have happened if you wouldn't hit the car in front of you? simple.The whole accident is because of you. It doesn't matter how many cars involved.

i'm assuming you're interior the U. S.. that's a criminal question, and state regulations are distinctive finding on your state. This answer isn't meant as criminal suggestion, yet purely some popular innovations that are effortless interior the regulations of many states, yet would possibly no longer rather prepare on your state. examine your state regulations or a criminal professional approved to coach on your state earlier making any judgements that would influence your criminal rights. answer: you're in all probability in charge for all the damages led to via you hitting the vehicle in front of you, inclusive of the wear and tear to his front and the wear and tear to the lower back of the subsequent vehicle. at an analogous time as you're able to technically attempt to argue that the guy in front of you're able to have had his foot firmly on the brake if he became at a stop sign or stoplight, in case you get into court you are going to have a complicated time proving that. appears like he had his foot on the gasoline which made him hit, then improve up and hit lower back, which remains your fault. long and wanting it? seems such as you would be able to desire to call your coverage organization precise away, or in case you do not have coverage, look ahead to a pair awkward conversations with the different 2 human beings or their coverage adjusters on how plenty you owe. in the event that they only desire materials harm reimbursed, confirm you get copies of their receipts for fixing it. in the event that they are complaining of neck injuries, your coverage organization will in all probability finally end up hiring a criminal professional for you. in case you haven't any longer any coverage, you're able to hire a criminal professional. Sorry to grant the undesirable information, yet wish it helps.

Yes.....your car hit the car in front of you causing that car to hit the one in front of it. You have to pay for both.
