Getting back to the subject, the initial guy who posted this thread can be partially or fully responsible for hitting the car in front of him because he had followed too closley. The police will determine the distance he was travelling along with the brake marking patterns on the road etc.. to determine how fast he was travelling and if he had enough distance to brake for the car in front of his. Hopefully he wasn't issued a citation for following too closely. Now, if he had stopped within a safe distance and then the car from behind smashes into him hence causing his car to plunged into the car in front of him, then I can see that the vehicle from behind will be paying for all the damages.
But let's suppose they did come to the accident scene. Let's examine your proposition.

What brake marking patterns? Almost all cars have ABS which don't leave skid marks.
Now, if he had stopped within a safe distance
If I stop my car before I hit the car in front of me, I've met that condition.

It's TOTALED...
***UPDATE***
The insurance declared it totaled. The adjuster didn't even write an estimate for the car, just wrote it off immediately once he saw it. Whew!!
Anyway, he offered me $31,224 for it. It was a 2004 6MT, premium package, brembos, and had 16,900 miles on it. I think that's pretty good, what do you guys think? It still sucks I lost the tax and first year's payments...

Dont b suprised if they dont they probably will but i towed a hyundai that was in an accident and we thought there was no way that they would fix the car and they actually fixed it but depending on if the pass quarter panel and how bad the pass front is tht wil determine if its totaled but my professional opinion its totaled bring tit to the best body shop in your area
