Re: car accident!

If you had car insurance (or the owner of the car your were driving did), IMMEDIATELY report this accident to your/their company. They will defend the claim. Generally, you would be liable for all damages if you caused the 1st impact which then caused the 2nd impact. If you/the owner of the car did not have insurance, you/the owner need to immediately retain an attorney to defend you and the owner. Good luck and thanks for your question.
