I had a car accident about a week ago.I have a 2009 acura Tl.My car was at a stop with my foot on the breaks. I then noticed my car began to roll backward. As I proceeded to mash on my breaks it kept rolling backward and I ended up hitting the person behind me. I don't understand how this could happen because I drive an automatic so it must be some kind of malfunction or defect.Nobody was injured I just had some paint from my vehicle rub off on theirs, but my bumper and trunk is pretty banged up.Of course their car insurance isn't going to pay for my car, and I don't feel I should have to pay a 1000$ deductible with my insurance because it wasn't my fault.Would I be able to file this in small claims against Acura so that Acura can fix my car???If so how would I go about doing this I'm so confused...The reason I ask about small claims is because no accident attorney will take on the case because I was not injured and the case is too small...I'm so confused on what to do...Does anybody know how I would go about this?
