What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
While driving on a hill after a light snow we came around a corner and there was a car stuck sideways blocking the entire road. We later found out the woman called the police for help and they told her to stay put. We were already going slow, but slid anyway due to the snow and incline, causing a minor accident. Luckily, Not much damage was done to either car at this point since we were driving so slow to begin with.
Then a 3rd car came down the same hill much faster and smashed our car in between their car and the other. Now our car is extensively damaged, having been smashed in between 2 suvs - our car is a hyundai elantra
The police said everyone is at fault so issued no tickets. Our car is undrivable now, the others had minor damage, like a small dent and broken headlight.
Shouldn't the 3rd driver be held accountable for causing the serious damage? After all, it was minor until the 2nd impact. And what about the lady in the middle of the street on a hill? Does she bear no responsibility?
