When backing out of my driveway I looked both ways and then backed out and a car came around the corner speeding and clipped my bumper. Damage down to other car but not mine. Whos fault is it?
Unless you can prove the other car was violating the posted limit, the onus to ensure the road was clear is completely yours. Even if you CAN prove the other car was speeding, this may not remove all of the fault from you.
If backing out of your driveway you come to a full stop at the end of it because you see another car coming and the other car hits you while your bumper is still on your own driveway who ist at fault.?
It depends. Which bumper is still in your driveway, your front or rear? Did the other car leave the roadway and hit your car? After you came to a full stop did you then proceed to back out and then got hit? If any part of your car was in the roadway then it would most probably be your fault. Any vehicle that is entering into traffic from a driveway is required to yield the right of way to those vehicles traveling within the roadway. If you stuck 2 inches of your car into the road and you were hit, it would be your fault.
How do you clean the bumper on a 1989 Buick LeSabre?
at a good car wash, or you can even do it in your driveway
What are deformities?
A type of bumper made out of soft flexible plastic that deforms slightly at low speed impact and has a foam backing - this will stop the bumper cracking

Who is at fault in a car accident when you're backing out of your parking space slowing and she is backing out of her space My right side back bumper hits her left side back bumper?
Both of you are probably at fault. If you see another person backing you should stop and signal the other driver if possible. Otherwise stop and wait until that driver completes his backing maneuver.Added: It is the obligation of the backing driver to ascertain that his movement does not interfere with any other vehicles. In this instance, you both apparently failed to do so.

You were backing out of your driveway the other day and your neighbor was backing out at the same time you ended up backing into each other you were both going to go East?
I live on the south side of the street she lives on the north. Our driveways are even with each other. When we bumped into each other my driveside bumper and her front passanger door were dented. Who is more at fault. She was running late for work and did not want too call the police and now she is saying I hit her and it is my fault. Initailly she stated the same as me that neither of us were paying attention to behind us only too oncoming traffic.
Who is at fault if backing out of a parking lot space and a speeding car clips your rear corner?
What part of your rear did they hit? Side ? where from the rear wheel in front or behind? Or flat on the bumper? You will still more than likely carry the larger percent of negligence, but with more details I could maybe be of more help to try and determine if you had ''control'' of the lane.....
You got hit in a 4 way lane backing out of your driveway while landing in the opposite 4th lane when a car backed out of the facing street and hit your right rear?
If I understand the question you were both backing at the same time into traffic? If that is the case, likely be deemed 50/50, or if one person had ''possession of the lane'' then the other party would carry most if not all of the negliegence/liablility This is similar to what happened to my car, but in my case, my car was still not quite out of the driveway when the other car hit my left tail light area with her rear bumper, so basically she backed out perpendicularly to the street, crossing 3 lanes. And this a 4-lane street with double yellow line.
When you were backing your car you hit the other the bumper of other car which was parking. Could it be called an accident?
Answer Yes, This is a very common type of automotive accident.
What are the laws on parking on a public street blocking a driveway in Los Angeles?
As one who has received tickets for parking in my driveway in L.A. here's what I know. You cannot block any part of the sidewalk. It used to be 33% but that's not the case any longer. You can park in your driveway but if the slightest bit of the bumper is in the sidewalk they'll nail you. And smile while doing it.
