    he hit you so he would be at fault but it might be 50/50 since you had spun out and were driving too fast for the conditions in the first place.

    Did you have winters on?

    I think a lot more has to be take into account. How many lanes etc. Can you draw a diagram. I think in any case you should expect to be 100% at fault but who knows. You have to ask yourself what the proximate cause of the collision was and its fair to say that its you lising control of your car.

    It's kinda all speculation OP.

    In my opinion, I would imagine that the other driver would be 100% at fault, since he did not leave enough room to stop on the event something happened like this.

    I don't really think you can say that, we don't know if the other vehicle was behind the op or if the op was in a different lane and spun across. We need info. And this isn't a rear ending which is a little clearer. We need a diagram.

    I'm going to guess that in the end, you will be found at-fault for this as you are the one who lost control.

    Or it might be a situation where the road section is problematic (icy, pluffy snow over ice) at the time being... so everyone was just sliding.

    Next time remember that winters are cheaper than paint and body work.

    Depends, so the dude hit you after you stop spinning right? How long after did he hit you. Where did he hit you? And were you in possession your lane? or was your car kinda sticking out?

    if your car wasn't fully in a marked lane, you're at fault

    I'd assume that since he was behind you he had control of what he is doing, but it depends, if you spun into his lane that would be a different story

    like has already been covered it depends on a number of factors but from experience, what it will come down to is the story you give and the story the other party gives... If there were any witnesses it would be prudent to get them involved.

    I was in a similar situation before. Someone spun around on Glenmore and hit the guard rail in front of me. I hit the brakes and stopped a few feet short of the truck. Then I was rear ended by another truck whick pushed me into the first truck that was facing the wrong way on Glenmore. The guy who rearended me paid for damages to the back of my car and the guy who was facing the wrong way paid for the front. It took the different insurance companies 4 months to sort it out though so it must be a grey area as to fault in such situations.
