Yours. Even though a car hit you from behind, you shouldnt have been parked so close to the car in front. You should always allow adequate space to allow for this. Like you do when you are driving - you allow for stopping distances.

Big_K is right. This is the rule for multiple accidents. We are supposed to have control of our car (at least!). Keeping a safe distance helps...

Hello there...

I hope you are safe and have no problems from the accident you had...

According to the Qatari Traffic Law; any driver that cause an accident by hitting another driver's car from behind, it is his mistake and his insurance must pay for the damages he caused... in your case; that driver who hit you from behind must be obliged to repair your car; on the other hand, the car that you hit because of that driver, your insurance will be responsible for repairing the damages...

I hope this was helpful.

Stay safe and have a great day.
