Is that only for the front? I assume that the truck driver is paying for 100% of the rear damage?

Wow man that really sucks... One of my friends has gone through something similar a few weeks ago and because his car got pushed into the car in front only once, ICBC ruled that the driver behind my frd is 100% at fault and has to pay for all the damage.
I guess it's that second bump into the Accord that made ICBC think you've collided with the Accord initially. Go talk to the adjuster's manager and explain what has happened. Hopefully it'll turn out well... good luck man.

usually the middle person gets some of the responsibility for hitting the car in front. the argument is that if you were at a safe distance, your car would not hit the first car, but since you were so close, the impact caused you to hit the car. therefore, you did something wrong, being too close to the car, so you get some percentage of the fault... i dont know if you are gonna get anywhere with ICBC trying to argue fault assignment... my suggestion is pay for the damages, and go after ICBC for pain and suffering... claim all your injuries and get everything you can out of them... hopefully it will be enough to cover the repairs...

that route doesnt seem like an easy way out
I believe ICBC is quite crucial in terms of injury pay out
One of my close friend she got hit from the passenger side, and its been an year so far that she has being surfering tremendous amount of back pain. No bs,until today she is still fighting with ICBC with lawyer involved

To me, it doesn't make sense how the truck can push your car forward make you hit the car in front of you and then ur car maintained enough momentum to continue going to hit it again. Unless you were facing downhill, the laws of physics are working against you.

18k damage is bullshit. It's a rip off. It's like nobody remembers stock mark crash just 1.5yrs ago. 18K is a shitload of money for repairs. These guys get like 20$/hr sitting on their ass distributing parts worth few dollars wholesale and sold for hundreds of dollars then u get charged 300% markup, add labour and double all of that and you will get 18k in damage.

Let's have a look at this from a totally unbiased point of view.
Front car says they stopped and then got hit twice
Middle car says they stopped, got hit once but their car hits front car twice
Who knows what the rear car says, but he's probably saying that the middle car hit the front car first and then rear car hits middle car and middle car is pushed into front car again
Who do you believe? (and I'm in no way implying that OP is lying, just stating the facts)
ICBC is going on the balance of probability that middle car rear ended front first, before getting rear ended themselves and pushed into the front car a second time (based on the front car feeling 2 hits)
If you're looking at hiring a lawyer and going to court, your lawyer would have to convince the judge that it did not happen this way. What evidence can you provide that can prove this?

Shit dude, sorry to hear.
I think personally it'd be hard to dispute in court, as godwin mentioned above, play into effect how much lawyer fees would cost, and take that into consideration if it'd be worth it, or just taking a hit on your insurance.
ICBC would argue that you did not keep a safe distance cause if you did and you couldn't stopped further back.
And it's hard for you to prove that you did not hit him the first time. I think that there might be no way out of this...sorry dude. Lesson learnt I guess. Quote:

THANKS GUYS! I have realize perhaps i got hit twice, or what, something made me hit the car hard and continue to roll into it again, after the first hard hit i was definitly not in control of what happens next, im to blame, as i could have easily avoid it by leaving EXTRA space, but we all know, 2+ car space = people changing into your lane.
its in the shop, i will pay deductable, and insurance will go up for 3 years, and back to current discount, so, its all good!
Thanks All!

How does icbc make you half responsible for your own dmg and the dmged car in front. Does that mean both you and the truck behind you is at fault and both of you get shafted by icbc?
if the truck guy had roadstar and just took the 100% responsibility for both ur Z and the accord's dmg, he would only pay like 80$ and since he has no dmg he doesn't need to pay to repair his own truck and ICBC would pay for all damages. the truck guy would lose 3-5steps(CRS i believe) | lol.
he stopped b4 he hit the accord.. truck hits him he hits the accord his car is a manual so it rolled forward and hit the accord again...

Rear-ending = 100% liability, 99times out of 100. You're pretty good to have 50% for the front already.
ICBC stated policy, unless you have witnesses. Their opinion, no matter how you twist and change or however you want to put it. You did not give enough room to give yourself a full stop. In their minds, "if you held back far enough, even if she hard brake you will have room to stop."
