You are. Improper backing.
The car pulling from the parking space is at fault
If they backed into you, it's their fault. Failure to yield.
If you were legally parked, the person backing up is at fault. If you were in a "No Parking" area, you are at fault.
The greater fault lies with the person backing out of the parking space. You may still be partially at fault for not driving with due care.
Personally, I think that it should be the fault of the driver going across the aisle, but other may think otherwise.
You have an electrical fault
Depends if the person who left the item in front of the empty parking space left the item there on purpose. Thanks for the information. The item was left there because the person was unloading it from their trunk.
It depends on the situation. If you stoped short and got rear ended it is your fault. But if you stoped becasue the driver in front of you stoped then it is that persons fault. If you are sitting at a stop light and get rear ended it is there fault. If you are parked in a parking zone and get rear ended it is there fault. Hope this Helped
Technically you are at fault because they had the right of way and you backed into their path.
First the insurance companies will assess responsibility. Then, if you are unhappy with that outcome you will need to sue in court and let a judge decide.
If he was driving forward past his intended parking space to take yours, then he is at fault. Cutting across is not permitted in parking lots although many people do it anyway.
This did happen to me and I was the exiting the parking lot. I had already crossed one lane of traffic and was hit on the driver's side front fender by a car in the second lane. I was ruled "at fault" because I entered the other driver's lane of travel.
