Judith,

    Was this in Maryland? If so, and your car did not actually come in 
contact with the other guys car you are technically not involved at all!
I was involved in a multiple rear ender on Route 1 in College Park involving
about six cars, one piled into the other. The cause of the accident was a
woman who stopped abruptly in the fast lane to make a left hand turn, rather
than using the turning lane. She, of course, was not hit, but everyone behind
her bit the dust avoiding her. 

    When she came back out of the parking lot she had pulled into to tell
the officer how the whole mess was her fault the officer asked her
one question: "Was you car hit". She said "No, but..." at which time the
officer cut her off and said "I don't need to see you ma'am please go about
your business".

    So, if driving in Maryland, and you didn't actually take sheet metal
damage, your home free. You probably didn't even need to speak to the guy.
