Ditto what RR said. You're supposed to be in control of your vehicle at all times. If someone rear ends you and you slide forward five feet, then you fucked up somewhere.
Now, I mean I guess you could sue the guy who hit you for damages including whatever you had to pay out and see if you could win. I figure extenuating circumstances, a fully loaded van going 95 into the back of your car's going to move you forward no matter what you do.

Actually... I had that case happen to me. I was in the middle car but the girl behind me was at the fault. To this day though, I'm thankful that the guy ahead of me stayed for the police because of his tiny dent shown enough proof that I did stopped and gave enough space ahead of me before that girl rammed into my car hard enough. (Imagine my back bumper of the car right front of her windshield.) Its just a terrible spot... and that's my first serious accident that was to be taken down on a police report. All of us were college kids heading home and the road was a two lane highway and the construction was going on for the left lane. :\ Going over the hill and coming down to see a LONG frozen line is what caused the whole series of accidents from there. This was in Texas by the way, I feel bad for the girl though, she lost her car (engine was smoking) but she was tailgating me the whole time.
And my biggest pet peeve? Tailgaters. :\
How ya doing, buddy?
