If you get hit from behind it is almost like per se negligence on the driver behind. You can probably file a counter claim and get back the damage to your car and any injuries you sustained. Why a lawyer would take on this case for the plaintiff's, I have no idea. They are going to lose money on this one.

They're trying to play an angle. An "anonymous witness" phoned in that I was driving erratically about half a mile back. If by erratically they mean five over the speed limit and changing lanes (with my turn signal!) to get around the slower vehicles, then I guess I was. However, that doesn't have anything to do with them rear-ending me, which is what my insurance guy told me as well.

That "anonymous witness" will be considered hearsay and probably wont be admitted into evidence. You should be fine. Everything is going to come down the officers wreck report. If that says you were hit from behind and you were not high or drunk, you will be fine.
