Assuming you're talking about a parking lot situation, generally there is no way to establish fault in such an incident. Unless you're a fan of the old "Brady Bunch" TV series. A 50/50 fault, where each driver pays their OWN repair costs.

∙ 17y agoIn situations where a car rolls back into a stationary vehicle behind, it is the front car that is liable regardless of how close the rear vehicle was behind. In the absence of any independent witnesses however, it is often difficult to prove a situation such as this, unless the owner of the forward vehicle willingly admits liability.

If a standard trans car rolls back at a stop sign and hits a car that stopped too close behind it who is at fault?
The vehicle rolling backwards is the at fault vehicle, in most cases. We were taught in drivers ed to stay far back enough to see the bottom the the wheels of the car in front of you, incase this were to happen to us. If they rolled back a few feet it would be our fault, but if he was warned with the sound of your horn to stop, and still hit your car, then it would be his.
