What is the name of your state? Tennessee
In a rear-end collision accident where there are 3 cars involved, who is responsible for the damage to the first car? My bro-in-law was stopped in traffic on an interstate, the car behind him stopped (short, but stopped), the 3rd car did not stop and therefore knocked the middle car into the first. I'm really needing the middle car to be liable, because the 3rd one doesn't have insurance. This accident happened 2 months ago. They filed through their insurance and paid the deductable and all that, but where told they'd get it back when the insurance companies settled. Now, they find out about the no-insurance thing. Their insurance is saying they are getting together with the middle car's insurance company to go after the 3rd and it could be months with collection agencies and all that crap. We're thinking maybe the middle guy is liable because he stopped too close. My brother-in-law didn't hit anyone. Isn't there a certain distance that's supposed to be maintained for stopped cars? I don't know. We're reaching here. A friend of ours is saying we should get a lawyer, because the insurance company is saying it doesn't matter that the middle guy was too close. Can we get anywhere with this?
