I was involved in a rear end collision in Florida where
the driver in front of me struck a stopped vehicle and I
in turn struck him. The accident occurred in a traffic
jam on an interstate at from 5 to 10 mph. The driver at
the front of the collision inspected his vehicle, found
no damage, and left. The second car (the one I struck)
apparently had no damage. I was the only one to have any
damage (cracked the fiberglass on the front of my
vehicle). We exchanged insurance information and drove off.
I found out ten months later that the driver of the
vehicle that I struck has initiated a lawsuit against me claiming injury (soft tissue- nothing that shows up on CAT scan or x-ray). I have contacted my insurance company and they have a lawyer representing me. My question is this, is there any likelyhood of the driver I struck being assigned a degree of culpability in this case thus mitigating the claim against me?
