You Dummy!!
The person's who parked it there, (its parked illegally.)Not your fault.
It is your fault.
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...
Whomever backed into it is at fault.
It would be the car who had parked illegally because he was not parked in a legal spot.
Yes. Being illegally parked does not affect fault. If you strike a parked vehicle, it is ALWAYS your fault because you have a duty to ensure the way was clear before moving.
As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
At least partially.
It is almost impossible to assign fault to a parked car, even if it is illegally parked.
You have a right to back out of your legal parking spot. If you use your mirrors and do not see that there is anyone behind your car you are able to back out. If a car parks illegally behind you THEY are not only guilty of illegally parking but they are the cause of the accident. All it takes is an extra one minute for the illegal parker to find a parking spot that will not cause an accident. We make choices and when we choose to park illegally any accidents are the fault of the person chosing to park behind cars that could be moving out at any time.
You should get a ticket for parking illegally and the other drive should be cited for inattentive driving. You are both at fault and should get healthy tickets.
The driver of the car that improperly parked is generally at fault because they were in violation of parking regulations. However, if there were contributing factors such as a malfunction with the parked car or negligence on behalf of the other driver, fault may be shared or shifted. It's best to consult with insurance companies and law enforcement to determine liability in this situation.
