Did someone back into you from a parking space? If so, I would think they are At Fault since a driver is required to check carefully before pulling out. In addition parking lot speed limits are usually 5-10 mph. Did you call the police? I am guessing not or you would know whom they considered to be at fault.

Added: If your vehicle was still physically located on the parking lot, the parking lot is not considered a public roadway and normal traffic regulations do not apply there(other than driving w/o a license and DUI). Therefore this becomes a civil matter of damage to private property rather than a criminal matter of a violation of traffic laws.

If your description of events is truthful, it SOUNDS as if the other party is liable HOWEVER this is a battle that your insurance company and the other party will have to battle out.

Who is at fault if you hit a car that is backing out of a parking spot while you are leaving the parking lot?

Usually the driver of the vehicle at the rear, as he/she should be paying attention to what is ahead of them. If you saw him/her reversing out you should have stopped and waited. If you did and were stationary, then the person reversing out is at fault, but you would need witnesses to prove it.

Can you be stopped for exiting a parking lot of a closed business?

Not sure what you're trying to ask. I suppose the business parking lot is privately owned. Business hours are over or closed for good ? Who stopped you ? security ? cops ? I think if there was a real good reason to stop you they have a right.
