However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if a driver is distracted by another driver's actions, such as texting while driving, they could be held liable for the accident even if they were not directly involved. Additionally, if a driver is fleeing from the police or otherwise driving in a reckless manner, they could be held liable for an accident even if they did not directly cause it.
If you are involved in an accident, it is important to speak with an attorney to discuss your rights and options. An attorney can help you determine if you may have a claim against another driver who was not directly involved in the accident.
