A lot of people here aren't going to like that answer. You may not like that answer, but you asked the question: "Is there a way to protect ourselves from such events financially?" The only way to protect yourself financially is to not be involved in incidents as described. It is entirely possible to drive on the highway and not run in to stationary road debris, provided you are not following too closely.
Leave a 5-car gap on a busy California freeway and it will be filled. You can spend your day falling backwards, but I'm not going to do that. Whatever...
