If it's your car that got hit, you should still make a report to the police. (You never know, they may find the person that hit you). Insurance will still take the claim, but it may take more time to process, and you'll have to have the appropriate insurance.
If you hit the car, you should leave a note with your contact info and insurance info so the owner can get back to you.
You can get caught if you hit a parked car and leave if there are witnesses. Also, forensic evidence can be used to track you down.
depends on whether or not the car is parked well. if the car is parked properly, in the right spot then it should be the car that hit it that is at fault.
If a car is parked (so it wasnt moving, standing still), the other car is in fault.
Usually it's the company of the car that hit the parked car regardless of location.
If it was leagally parked, you should be asking what are your obligations if you hit a parked car. Your responsibilities are to pay the cost of fixing the Property of the person who's car you hit. Man up and do the right thing.
Answer: The vehicle that initiates the collision is at fault.
It all depends. Both you and the car that is double parked are responsible. when you do hit a car that is double parked, and the person is not at his/her car, make sure you leave a note saying that you hit his/her car. why leave a note? ITS AGAINST THE LAW TO LEAVE A CRIME SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!
The driver of the car that was driving when the accident occured. The owner of the parked car should not be responsible unless the car was parked in an illegal place or position.
It would be the car who had parked illegally because he was not parked in a legal spot.
It is almost impossible to assign fault to a parked car, even if it is illegally parked.
Of course it is your fault. The fact that the car was illegally parked is of no consequence. You didn't look where you were backing or you would not have hit the parked car. Would you have hit this car if you had been looking? Perhaps the illegally parked car is a Mini Cooper, parked illegally 1 foot behind a Hummer and therefore not visable when the driver looks before backing up...
Generally speaking, the driver in motion is considered to be at fault when a parked car is hit, even if the car was parked illegally. The exception to this would be if the car was parked in a dangerous, hard-to-see location and the driver in motion could not have reasonably avoided hitting it. For example, if a car is parked on a sharp curve in the travel lane of a narrow road, and the driver of a car driving around the curve at the speed limit would not be able to see the parked car until too close to it to avoid a collision, then the driver might not be liable for damage to the parked car, and indeed the driver who parked the car might be liable for damage to the car that hit it.
