Advice needed! Been in a three car accident.

If you both were stationary then car who rear ended you is liable for it all.
Had a similar accident about 10 years ago when a pensioner turned round to his grandkids and failed to stop in stop and go traffic.
I'd be more worried about your rear end - if it actually pushed you forward enough to hit another car. When this happened to me there was significant damage to rear (although immediately apparent as he pushed me 1/3m forward with my handbrake on).

I had a little knock on the back a while in my mk7 too..... luckily no damage at all (had to flash the other driver after she drove off to get her details just in case....). Even if there is only superficial damage use a camera phone and record a video.... there is a cutout at the bottom that you can use to get in to see if bumper mounts and crash domes are damaged or mounts for parking sensors are f**ked.

I think if some hits your car and that impact caused you to hit another car then you are at fault for hitting that car.

Not so, the person whose "fault" it was the accident occurred in the first place, their insurer pays for damage to all the cars

Juicetin is right. If someone pushes your car into another then that act is beyond your control.

Looks like the guy that hit me was screwed over by either mine or his insurance companies or maybe it was both of them.

It took them 7 weeks to fix my car and in that time I had a 62 reg Range Rover Sport. When I got the car back the list of stuff they replaced was down right disgusting. They replaced all 5 seatbelts even though I was the only one in the car amongst other things like a front wheel and tyre that had a tiny bit of kerbing on it.

Total ripoff merchants the lot of them.

would you rather they tried a cheap re-furb on the wheel instead and never replaced the tyre

I would rather they fix what was damaged in the accident rather than replace things like wheel that I damaged myself months before the accident. It is a view like your that has the rest of us paying so much for our insurance.

yeah right my view is the reason your paying so much for insurance    and you never said you caused the damage to the wheel outwith the accident in your 1st post

I would rather they fix too much than too little, or be phoning me up every 5 mins to ask me the pre-crash condition of a catalogue of parts that they would otherwise assume were untouched. In the grand scheme of things, that wheel and tyre were probably small potatoes next to the whole cost of the repairs.

Perhaps the seatbelts were all replaced because the pretensioners all went off and the seatbelt units include pretensioners as bought in. So much throwaway tech now, and when that tech is safety tech, i'd be glad they replaced them just in case.

Sorry but I thought it would be common sense that someone driving into the back of you wouldn't damage a front wheel.

The typical claim culture now days does have everyone paying more for insurance.

There was hardly any damage to my car.
