A: Not really enough details to say for sure. It sounds like you were in a multi car accident or chain reaction type accident. I will go with likely yes, but it depends upon the facts and circumstances of the case you do not give enough details to say for sure.

Good luck and hope this helps.

A: Yes, one can be sued for just about anything. It's all up to a good attorney and/or trier or fact to discredit any baseless cause of action.
