Answer 1

Almost any time you hit a car from the rear it is at fault.

Answer 2

It will likely be a 50/50 claim, the drivers of the cars left in the road and the motorcycle driver for not paying attention.

Answer 3

It's called a REARENDER!!!!!!!!!!!!! the motorcycle is at fault...failure to maintain assured clear distance.

Answer 4

Answer 5

It depends on the exact road conditions but if he had the capability to see the accident and safely avoid it then it was his fault but a couple of years ago I was cresting a blind hill and hit a van that had been pulled into the road by a tractor and a minute later my car was hit by another driver that didn't  see either of us and the court eventually ruled in my favor because there was no warning or way to see the van in time to prevent an accident. So to sum it up it all depends on the conditions surrounding the accident.

Answer 6

There is such a thing as contributory negligence, which means that if you do something that creates a hazardous situation (such as leaving your car stopped in a traffic lane with no lights on in the middle of the night) then YOU can be held responsible for any accidents or injuries that are caused by your negligence.  I'd say that BOTH of these morons could be held responsible for the motorcyclist's death.

Answer 7

Motorcyclist.  Dumba** should have been looking where his light was and driving according to the road conditions.

Usually if "YOU" hit something (especially a stationary thing) it's "YOUR" fault.  Sad about the cyclist.....But that's Darwin's Theory at work separating the good cyclists from the bad. See, the good ones are still alive.

Answer 8

It is not his fault.  Find an attorney if it is personal.
