If someone parks their car behind your truck on your property and you back into them whose fault is it?

Answer 1

"Since she backed into me and was moving is this her fault or both our faults because the parking area is to small for my truck?"

It is totally her fault since your vehicle was stationary at the time of the accident.

Did you call the police and file a report? Depending on the amount of the damage it is a requirement in some states. In others the police will not investigate an accident on private property.

I hope you had collision insurance so you can file a claim with your insurance company. Then you can sue her in small claims for your deductible.

Often car (or truck) drivers will leave their parked vehicles in a no parking zone. My best example is a guy who left his 100K mercedes parked in a yellow zone, next to dumpsters alongside loading area. He was stopped & parked, our truck hit it & I told him "No way are we going to pay" - we are not going to reward your stupidity.

Answer 2

You are At Fault. You are backing out of a space and you must yield the right of way to the other vehicles traveling in the aisle.

Answer 3

The law says it is your fault. Though they parked on your property, you backed into them, so though it's unfair, it's your fault : (
