Yes, the other three drivers can sue you, but there were two accidents that had happened before you hit the third car.

You cannot, of course, be liable for the first two accidents, UNLESS you caused more damage to the first two folks.

I was assuming that she pushed the other cars into each other and they didn't of their own actions hit each other. If they did, then yes, she's only responsible for any additional damages that she caused.

What two cars were the first to hit each other? When car #4 hit car #3, was this the first collision or did a collision already happen?

I am not the first to hit in the accident. I did not know what happened between the first and the second car. But I know the third car had been hitted the second car when I hitted it.

Your assumption is impossible. Because our cars were in low speed, how can I cause the car ahead of me to hit the ahead of she, even cause a chain reaction. Besides, the third car(ahead of me) is supposed to keep a saft distance with the car ahead of her.

It's quite possible, and in fact happens fairly frequently. A two ton object going even 10 MPH has a lot of force.

So if the other cars had already impacted, you're only responsible for damages to the rear of the 3rd car in line, plus any additional damages you caused to the other vehicles by your additional impact. And of course the damages to your own vehicle.
