Not At Fault In Rear End Collision

[Lawproper]

What is the name of your state? STATE OF CONFUSION?
California**************.
REAR END COLLISION:
I hit a dark colored Veh from behind because it had no visible means of warning following vehicles it was stopped in the middle of a 50 mph lane of hwy traffic; IN THE DARK OF NIGHT on an unlighted section of hwy. By time I saw it and realized it was stopped i had no choice but to hit my brakes; but by then the distance to stop was too short. There was speeding traffic to my left and a guard rail to my right. I was not speeding and only saw this parked vehicle when two cars in front of me jerked into another lane (left) so fast they did not signal to avoid having the collision i had. I had no space to follow them the left lane and was forced to hit my brakes.

I need:
1) CA vehicle codes for this instance where the vehicle was a)stopped, b) stopped with out any turn signal, emergence lights, brake lights, or any sign he was stopped on a hwy.
Also covering reckless driving, and driving as an UM motorist.

Also.. Can you please provide some case law covering liability on rear end collisions.. I am claiming I was not the cause or fault of this accident.

I was so far offered a settlement but turned it down and asked for a trial. I need a lawyer to defend me at this stage.

are you the uninsured driver?

If you know that you need a lawyer already, then let the lawyer (who is familiar with case law) find the info. I don't understand what you are looking for that this lawyer can't provide for you. If they are offering you a settlement, then they are accepting responsibility for the accident. Why are you still trying to figure out who was at fault? I don't understand.

uninsured driver

are you the uninsured driver?

No, I'm not the uninsured driver. The driver of the van that I hit was an uninsured driver, and was specifically excluded from the insurance policy on the van, which was owned by his mother. He took the van without her knowledge or permission. He has a history of at least 4 prior accidents and one DUI.

The insurance company for the van owner is defending this driver.

WHY would an insurance company defend an uninsured, specifically excluded driver??????

The state is California.
