Raa Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I dont know about other countries, but in Australian law, if it's a pile up, the person at the REAR of the crash is legally responsible for everyone else. I'm not sure if its the best place to ask for qualified legal advice, do you have a lawyer you can ask?

zivan56 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I believe even if the person in front slams on the brakes for no apparent reason, and someone hits them, the party that hit is automatically at fault. How can he claim that you hit him going backwards? That utter nonsense will be thrown out once it has an initial hearing. Call a lawyer either way, unless the other guy does not have one...but you run a risk of not properly arguing your case.

Dosn't pileup mean more than two cars? so should it be the second car (aka the one that hit the first car) because from my understanding most of the others would be because they had no time to stop or tried to swerve to avoid it.

Thrawn Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Looking at the pictures, it seems that most of the damage is to the front of the car. That would suggest that you hit someone who was in front of you... then consider posts #3,4.

JackBauer87 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Seeing your from new york. Its highly likely the person that hit in the back will be put at fault under review by a judge. Regardless how the cookie crumbles. Now seeing that your story is true, countersuits are typical. Did the guy that hit you have the lawsuit against em before or after the crash?

Julius Caro Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I dont get it. Those pics dont seem to suggest that you here hit in the back. Anyway, don't stress yourself about this right now!!

Not quite right. In a pileup without witness', it would be determined on a per car basis. Car 1 ------ Car 2 (Respon for Car 1) ------- Car 3 (Respon for Car 2) etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/622174-lawsuit-against-eachother-help/#findComment-589232935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackBauer87 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 An accident report along with pictures and witness testimony should be all you need. You need to relax, you cant think straight worrying like you are. my question how would it proof???would they take a look my car did take pictures??? or wat? or my pictures will help?

ozgeek Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Dosn't pileup mean more than two cars? so should it be the second car (aka the one that hit the first car) because from my understanding most of the others would be because they had no time to stop or tried to swerve to avoid it. It depends on the situation. Many factors. And why are you sueing? Just goes to show the world yet another civil lawsuit in US. Perhaps the US is the capital country of lawsuits. I'm so afraid to go to US, that if I touch anyone there, they'd get a lawsuit for millions of dollars against me. :p Thousands of cars get into crashes everyday, many much worst then what you experienced. How bad damaged is your car? Do you both have insurance? Then use it.

Rudnartim Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 You say you got hit in the rear left at 60 mph? And if there is someone at fualt the police report would show that and seeing as how you can see fire trucks and the such in the other pictures, I would assume the police where at the scene and talked to witnesses and both drivers so they should have deteremined whos at fault.
