lol....Wrong.
Look the cause of your collision was people not paying attention and or following too close to the vehicle which braked due to debris/hazards on the roadway.
If someone brakes for hazardous debris, and you rear end them, you lose.
I thought the same as you, and I still do sort of, until this happened. By the way every last attorney I have told this story to is dumbfounded by the results.
