and if your too lazy to read this thread heres the basics

friday, rear ended in 80 trans am, getting fiberglass bumper

FWIW, I got rear ended in my first Grand Prix and the officer told me that if you are rear ended it is almost never your fault. The person behind you is supposed to keep a proper following distance at all times and should be able to stop in time even if you slam on your brakes and come to a complete stop.
