Usually, the first driver who either rear-ends a vehicle or started the chain reaction is liable for the entire accident. For example, in a 3-car accident A rear-ends B, and pushes B into C. A’s insurance would be responsible for repairing all the vehicles and compensating all the occupants for their bodily injuries. Even if there are 5 vehicles involved in a car accident, the driver who broke the roadway rule that started the sequence of events is responsible for everyone.
