I live in Washington state. I was heading home after work, and it was about 630 pm. We had a heavy overcast, and the light was dimming rapidly. Post sunset. I was driving with my head lights on when they stuck upon a large gray object directly in my path. I applied my brakes and stuck what turned out to be a large dark grey trailer being towed by a much smaller vehical. The trailer did not have any functioning lights, and completely obscured the lights from the vehical that was towing it. The driver even stated that he thought he could make it home without incident, and acknowledge that the lights did not work. When I say no lights, I mean no lights. No break lights, no tail lights, and no running lights.
I took pictures of the trailer as I there was no phone to be found. In a case like this, who is at fault? Am I responsible for the accident or is the other driver?
I was not speeding, and all of my lighting equipment was on and functioning. The other drive was towing a large trailer with no lighting after dusk. Any adivse will be greatly appreciated.
PS, I bit my lip really bad and now have neck and upper back pain. This really ruined my plans for this weekend.
