I work in insurance claims - if you are involved in a multi-vehicle rear end situation as described above - the person who rear ended you and pushed you into someone else will have the majority % of fault - you may have some for not ensuring clear distance and such, but what we do is seek to be advocates for our insured - it's all a matter of who was were and what happened though - each accident is different.
