Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

If v2 was fully stopped behind you before he got smacked and pushed into you, then I would not sue him. If he was moving, then you probably need to. That is not a hard and fast rule, but generally true.

If you felt two impacts, then they're both probably at fault, but if you felt only one impact, then V-1 is probably at fault.

The previous answer is correct. Was there a police report? Does the police report indicate the car was behind was stopped before it was hit and pushed into you? Were there 1 or 2 impacts with your car? It is always safe to bring a claim against both drivers to protect the statute of limitiations until you learn for sure who was at fault.

Generally only the car that was last in line would be at fault but only if the middle car was stopped.To be on the safe side a claim should be filed against both drivers and let the process take its course.Very often facts are discovered in the investigation that are not immediately apparent that change the liability picture.If you would like a free consultation please call me at 916-448-8831
