Who is usually the one at fault in a chain accident?

[Trusty]

[Quantum]

all of you claim insurance from the last one?

[Weixiang_06]

A-B-C-D

 

A jam break...

 

BCD all kenna A.

 

A claim from B, B claim from C, C claim from D..

 

D no one to claim from... and also have to absorb a portion of the claims from A & B

[Quantum]

if D only slightly touched C, also has to pay all meh, it seems unfair to D

[Nelmo]

well... the morale of the story... dun tailgate ;)

[Weixiang_06]

[Stivo]

Dun think it works that way.

 

A claim from B, B from C, C from D. D claim his own.

 

A claim B for A's backside.

B claim C for B's backside and front

C claim D for C's backside and front

D claim from own for front.

 

Stand to be corrected.

[Trusty]

B,C's front how? claim ownself?

Depends on the order of impact and the statements.

 

eg. A stop, B stop, C hit B causing B to hit A. A & B can claim C directly provided the statements of A & B are the same. If the statements contradict, then the claim will be against the car with direct impact.

 

I know because I was in the shoes of A before.

like almost the same?

[Irene]

So the sway one is D.

[Trusty]

think its hard too judge form A's position whether B did stop. nevertheless this can be quite an informative thread to get ourselves prepare just in case

[Jrage]

Pray that all have a good insurance lor..

 

Cos' i know of a friend, in B situation. And have problem claiming from A/C because A/C are using income and refused to pay for the damanags. It ended with my friend engaging a lawyer and won the case.

I usually take a peek at my rear view mirror when I had to brake hard. That's why I know the car behind had stop.

 

In any case, it's a good habit to peek at the mirrors when driving to have a good situational awareness.
