The operator of Veh 2 was under the erroneous assumption that Veh. 1 had slowed and stopped to let her out of Village Grn S.

Veh 1. front passenger side bumper struck the rear driver side bumper of Veh 2. causing substantial damage to Veh 2. Veh 1. appeared to sustain minor damage to its front passenger side bumper.

Who's at fault when you are struck by a car because another vehicle ran a red light and causing vehicle 2 to swerve and hit vehicle your vehicle 1?
That would depend on traffic speed, speed of vehicle 2, weather conditions. Purely based on the information given, the vehicle who ran the light would be at fault because they made a maneuver which caused other vehicles to crash.

Who is at fault if the driver of a parked car pulls away and hits the open door of the parked car in the next space?
This question is impossible to specifically answer without a lot more information. However, it possible to discuss some variables which would impact the determination of fault. For example, IF the driver pulling out [vehicle 1] confirmed, BEFORE moving his/her vehicle, that it WAS SAFE to do so, and then WHILE he/she was pulling away, a person in the second vehicle opened the door in front of, or into contact with, the first vehicle, THEN THE FAULT would lie with the person who opened the door of the second vehicle. The driver of vehicle 1 is obligated to avoid a collision if possible, but is not responsible if circumstances preclude his/her ability to do so. On the other hand, IF, for example, the driver of vehicle 1 actually observed the open door of vehicle 2, and pulled out in spite of an obvious hazard, and struck the open door, then the fault should lie with driver 1. Also, if driver 1 pulled out WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING, then again, the fault should be with driver 1. Determination of fault in this type of collision if very difficult to accomplish, unless for example, a video surveilence camera clearly captured the above discussed actions, or the absense of those actions, the TIMING of those actions, and WHO did WHAT, WHEN. Good luck. j3h
If you are in an accident and at fault do you get points on your license or your insurance policy or both?
Your question makes (2) assumptions. (1) that you were cited and (2) the violation has points. Not all vehicle code violations have points associated with them. Points are only assigned by the state to your driving record (license) upon conviction. When/if your insurance company reviews your driving record and sees the accident (not the points) and that you are listed as unit or vehicle 1 (at fault) then they may charge a surcharge

Who is at fault on a multiple rear-end collision car 1 is a stop then rear-ended by car 2 claim that car 3 hits then ran off?
Car 2 is liabile for the first collision and must pay for Car 1's damages and injuries. Car 3 is at fault for hitting Car 2 and for the rear end damage to Car 2. This is because each vehicle is responsible for maintaining a safe distance between them and the vehicle in front of them in order to allow them to stop safely.
