Today, I had a bad feeling about walking to work because of the weather. Instead, I drove. My car slid on the ice and I created a four-car pile up. All three of the other people involved have decided to sue me. I should've walked. FML

That's not really your fault though. Cars do slide on ice. No one knows when it will happen.

You'll probably need a decent lawyer but the sues shouldn't pass in court if it was just an unavoidable incident.

It's not really your fault... Like my dad said, "Good tires will get you thru snow but nothing will get you thru ice." I hope everything works out.

Not a lawyer by any means, but I've heard you're only responsible for the car you hit and if they hit someone because you hit them, it's still their own fault, because they didn't leave enough distance to prevent hitting them.

how does one sliding on ice in their car make them an idiot? walking, okay, you can see or feel the ice...but in their car?..

I'm assuming you've never had a ticket before, at least not from an accident...they put the weather condition on the actual ticket so not only would that be taken into account. but so would your driving record. you should be fine. but I'm assuming the idea to sue you started from one pissed off mouth and was spread to the rest of the pissed off mouths. it'll be extremely difficult to actually sue you

Also, as far as I know, unless she hit all three cars, they are all getting charged as well. If she caused one car to hit another, she gets charged for hitting one and the other car gets charged for hitting the other, and so on.

So "my car" slid but "I" created a pileup? Your Freudian slip is showing...you did something stupid and caused a problem, didn't you?

I wouldn't worry about it much - tell em to eff off. They only way you see any of this is if they sue above your policy limits. If you get sued for way above your policy limits, your insurance will represent you, and if there is one thing insurance companies have, it's lawyers. They will settle at your policy limit and cut their losses. You may have to file a affidavit stating that you are more or less poor, and then they will leave you alone. A lawyer isn't going to charge into court fighting for money they will never see.
