One of the most complicated parts of a multiple vehicle accident is establishing who is at fault. Although this is typically a context-specific question that depends on a variety of factors, generally the last vehicle to be struck does not have liability attached. For example, in a three-car accident, if the first vehicle rear-ends another, which causes the second car to rear-end the third car, the third driver is unlikely to have liability attach. This is because the first vehicle forced the second vehicle to rear-end the final vehicle.
