Legal Question in Insurance Law in California

Re: Three car rear end collision

Please see my previous question '' three car rear end collision '' Now I am been sued for $25,000 for injuries,ect. my further question is this: since I am insured,shouldn't the plaintiff sue my insurance company instead of me? Since no police report was written and no proof that I caused the damage exists, does the plaintiff have a case? If the insurance company feels that the plaintiff is not entitled to the $25,000, can they still sue me directly? Does the ''three second rule'' apply in this situation since all cars were at a complete stop just prior to to the collision?

Re: Re: Three car rear end collision

Direct action against an insurance company is not allowed in this type of case. I�ve been a lawyer all my life and I never heard of a ''three second rule''. This issue is who caused the accident.
