hi there, my kids and i had a car accident last week. i was driving home after picking them from school and the traffic on the main road i always take is usually moderate at that time of day. i was driving at a speed of about 40 - 45km/hr before approaching a queue and as i was slowing down or reducing speed coming up to the queue, a car suddenly hit us from the rear end and i ended up hitting the vehicle in front us. there are damages to my vehicle at the rear end and the front. the vehicle i hit had no damages, just a rip to the spare tyre cover. i need to know who is liable for the damages to my vehicle?

Unless there are some extenuating circumstances, from the information you have provided it would seem that the preson who hit you from behind is liable.
