Hi
I have been involved in a car accident yesterday.
It was starting to tail on the motorway so the car infront of me stopped, I stopped, I saw in the rear mirror the car behind me slowing down and stopping, however the car behind it just smashed into the car behind me, which then hit me and i just managed to only scratch the back bumper in front of me.
My question is now: while it is clear that the last driver will have to take liability, can the driver in front of me claim compensation from me or does he has to claim it from the last driver?
What possibilities does the last driver has to deny liability and argue it was not his fault?
Thank you all for your help
