Isn't Party 2 the one that caused the crash to begin with? Did #2 get cited? What did the police report contain? Assigned fault?
From what you describe the contact with you was incidental to #2's action(s). All of the grandmother comments are VERY relevant and need to be dealt with honestly. But it would appear #1 is possibly barking up the wrong tree.
Have you misread

Accident:
I was involved in a 3 party accident. Party 1 was stopped on the interstate (far right lane). Party 2 saw them late and rear ended Party 1 on the left side. Party 3 (Me) tried to avoid the collision by maneuvering to the right shoulder. Right shoulder is under construction with concrete barrier with not enough room for the entire car. My left mirror and door side-swiped Party 1's rear/right quarter.
op failed to stop within an assured distance and hit a stopped car (car 1j . The contact was not incidental to 2’s actions but a totally independent incident. 2 went left. Op went right to try to avoid hitting anybody but still hit car 1. He simply failed to stop. I’m surprised op didn’t get a ticket.
Car 2 and 3 are valid targets for 1 making a claim for damages, especially concerning imjury to occupants where it will be more difficult determine which contact was the actual cause of the injury.

Thanks for your continued replies, jk.
Insurance invalidation seems like a worst-case scenario. I checked the geico site, and unfortunately I do see that I somehow listed myself as the owner of the vehicle. There is an option to select the owner as "Owner not listed on policy", and I could change that now. I was not carrying collision/comprehensive anyway as the value of the car is low.
Anyway, I wanted to ask you, in your opinion should I submit the affidavit for myself given my circumstances?
Thank you,
I suspect there was something somewhere that obligated you to provide the insurance provider that you don’t own the car. If there is and you weren’t truthful, I think you’re in for a rude awakening. It’s quite likely they will invalidate your insurance

Another poster responded with that exact wording, back when the thread was originally posted, several months ago.

I'm not really sure that your insurer will care about your grandmother's death and consequent inability to sign anything. However, if the subject comes up, you obviously should not lie about that. You should, however, let your insurer know that the two people making a claim against your policy have "demand[ed] an [a]ffidavit from [you]."
