What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
OK, there was an accident last weekinvolving 4 (really 5) vehicles. #1 is a Tractor Trailor. #1 Crashed into a guard rail, spewing debris and even one of his tires into the right lane of the freeway (the accident happened in the left lane) #2 stopped suddenly as she rolled over the debris and glass, thinking there was a major mess. Car #3 slammed into car #2 causing car #4(me) to hit car #3. It was raining really hard (wipers on full blast) Facts about the accident:
#1 (Tractor) left the scene of the accident after he hit the guard rail. The state police later tracked him down and the remaining cars were called to the scene of the tractor to get his information. He was given numerous citations. The trooper stressed that he is definitely at fault!
#2 has minor damages to the rear of his vehicle
#3 has front end and minor rear end damage.
#4 (me ) has front end damage
#5 who was not involved in the crash at all, has damage to his car from the debris that the tractor (#1) left behind. (he was at the scene of the run-away tractor to get his information for insurance purposes)
My questions are>
Who is at fault in this accident? The state trooper said we are all clear and gave us an investigation report with the tractor's insurance information on it. He said the tractor is definitely at fault. Had he not left the scene, we would have saw the disabled tractor and would have used more caution to stop! We all drove away saftley and there were no reported injuries. Thus, this is a non-reportable accident.
Is the tractor responsible for my car, since I was the last car in the accident? (I have no collision coverage) Is the tractor responsible for the other cars as well? I have a personal injury attorney because I have been having neck problems since the accident. I plan to go after the tractor since this is his fault!!
The state trooper told me that my story (#4) and #2's stories match we both agree that #3 hit #2 first)...#3 is saying that I hit him, causing him to hit #2. (of course he is taking the blame from him) How likely is is that he will come after me, even though the trooper stated that the tractor is at fault?
This is a really big mess!!!
