Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
I was blamed for pushing a van into 2 other vehicles and causing $40K in damages while there was no damage to my vehicle. The officer claimed I was going 30+ MPH upon impact. My car was a Chevy Prism and now I'm being sued by the car in front of me who actually caused the damage. Can I sue for fraud and that he lied to the officer. I made a complaint against the officer. Can I sue him?

Give the lawsuit to your auto insurance company and get on with your life.
Your insurance company will investigate the accident. Make sure you provide them with all information proving the accident was not your fault. Let them take over. If you want to spend the money to prove you are right, you may wish to retain an attorney and/or a private investigator.

Why is your insurance company not handling this? Let me know.

My colleagues are correct give it to your insurance carrier and let them worry about it. Anyhow since you were the one who rear ended the guy you put the whole collision in motion. If he did something stupid because you rear ended him you are responsible so you should be glad you had insurance.
You did have insurance didn't you?
So give it to your carrier and let them worry about it because that is one of the reasons why you buy insurance.
