Well since this thread has been resurrected, this is how it is in CA and a few other states. Drivers are responsible to leave enough distance from the car in front of you to safety stop. It doesn't matter if Jesus himself appeared in front of the car ahead causing them to instantly they slam the brakes.Call me crazy, but based on the description in post #1, OP is at fault in this crash. Sounds unambiguously like a case of not leaving enough following distance. The first car getting cut off could be the cops fault, but the second following driver is 100% responsible for what their bumper hits.
Where it gets sketchy is when someone merges and takes that safety space moments before a wreck. Then it becomes hopefully you have a dash cam.
