well yes, while facts of loss are vague, it would be reasoned that the person with the damage to the rear of their vehicle had ''control'' of the intersection.......was farther thru that the other driver.......therefore the right of way........many many ''if's '' here not really enough info in question
Fault is typically determined by police reports and accident witness(es). In a rear end accident the vehicle striking another in the rear is typically at fault. With multiple cars it is up to the reporting police officer to determine fault.
Amount of settlement is dependent on how much damage has occurred, and who was listed at fault on the police report.
Assuming the question is asking in a three car accident the rear most vehicle doesn't strike the front vehicle, could fault be assigned to the rear most vehicle. Answer: Yes, in many states. Laws vary from state to state and depending on the circumstances and the reporting of the police officer on the scene. The officer would determine fault in the accident, which most typically falls on the rear most vehicle who initiated the collision. You are at fault for any vehicle you strike in a rear end accident.
Generally you would be considered not at fault in this incidence. If you were too close though, there may be an investigation and you could be considered 50% at fault. * Accident investigators use a method known as the "chain of causation" this lets them determine which individuals are responsible for which damages. Usually the last vehicle in motion is the one responsible for the accident. However, a definite answer to the question would not be possible without knowing all the mitigating facts. There is only momentum in one direction in this situation so the center car could not "ricochet back". If the driver in the first car felt two bumps, the second car is responsible for damage to the first car and the third for the damage to the rear of the second. If the front driver felt only one impact, the third driver is responsible for the entire accident.
Nothing, if she as at fault she is responsible to the damages of her car.
It can be called a 50/50 accident... ususally the adjuster can determine that.
you are at fault of the vehicle you hit, it is possible you were following too close, the other veh is at fault of the veh they hit and you are at fault of vehicle you hit. Insurance and accident investigators generally use a method referred to as "chain of causation". During the investigation they determine which car was the last car in motion and then work from that point. Using this process in regards to multiple rear end collisions they are usually able to discover which driver made the first violation or error that created the accident. That means that the driver of a vehicle that struck another one from the rear is not necessarily the one at fault.
the driver behind is not at fault as the in front should be liable as he was negligent
It depends on who had right of way.
when you get in an accident with another vehicle and you both receive damage to the front of you vehicle.
Your right, you are responsible to leave enough distance between you and the vehicle in front of you in order for you to be able to stop. Good measure is one car length for every 10 mph that you are traveling. This also applies to the person behind you. Technically you are responsible for the damage to the front vehicle and the front end damage to your vehicle, and the person behind you is responsible for the damage to your rear end and his damage. Submit your claim quickly to your company and the company of the person behind you and get them a copy of the accident report. Let the insurance companies determine who pays what. Most likely your is totaled as you have front and rear damage if it is extensive. If minor it may not be totaled. Go ahead and look around for the value of vehicles similar to yours in model, condition, mileage, etc so you know the ballpark before an offer is made to you.
Not in the front but middle area so if any accident occur the child will not get much damage
