Both states and municipalities establish traffic laws. In most instances person exiting a driveway whether private or public will be held accountable for an accident. The premise being, that driver is entering into the "traffic flow" and is required to use reasonable caution and take no action until the right-of-way is safely clear.

Someone has pulled into my driveway and i don't see him and hit him with the rearend of my car who is at fault?
The operator of the backing vehicle is always at fault hen a stationary object is struck.
You proceeded to drive out of your driveway when a vehicle pulled halfway into your driveway and you struck it you was watching out for any passing traffic in the street not behind in your property?
In most states, the driver backing up is always responsible for avoiding a collision unless other circumstances enter into the collision, such as DUI, excessive speed or faulty brakes on the part of the other vehicle. But even then, the responsibility may be "shared".
What is the extent of liability for a person whose rear bumper is struck by another car while in the act of beginning to back out of a parking spot?
Was the other vehicle backing as well? If so maybe 50/50. Were you the only one backing and other vehicle traveling down lane? If so 100% on you. Generally, the person backing must use a higher degree of care. Really not enough details to give you a good answer, please supply more and perhaps I can be of more assistance.
If you are backing out of your driveway and are struck by a car in a mobile home park who is at fault?
Check with the local police but I've had it where people backing a car out of a shop into a private parking lot get hit by someone driving through (too fast even) and the person who is in reverse is always at fault. Might be different in some areas but in my area this is how it goes.
What happens when an insured car hit you and you hit another car but your car isn't insured?
If you were forced into striking another vehicle by a vehicle which struck you first, the vehicle that struck you is (usually) responsible for the entire accident. However, if you are required to have insurance in your state, that will not get you out of any ticket becauise of your lack of insurance.

Can you be held liable for blocking a driveway and a car hitting your trailer?
It is against the law everywhere to block a driveway, and if you were somehow at fault for your trailer being struck, yes. If you were obstructing the driveway with the trailer and it was hit as someone attempted to exit the drive, BOTH you and the other driver could be charged.
Whose at fault when pulling through a parking spot and the car to the right of you is getting out of there car?
Originally you are at fault unless you were in the process of backing up before the offender had arrived. If however he was present before you started to back up and claims he was unable to stop than you were at fault. GOOD LUCK IN COURT :)
Who is at fault when hit in the rear end?
The car to the rear, unless the car struck was backing. Depends on the situation.
Who's at fault when you are struck by a car because another vehicle ran a red light and causing vehicle 2 to swerve and hit vehicle your vehicle 1?
That would depend on traffic speed, speed of vehicle 2, weather conditions. Purely based on the information given, the vehicle who ran the light would be at fault because they made a maneuver which caused other vehicles to crash.
Who is responsible for fixing vehicle 3 when Vehicle 1 struck vehicle 2 in rear causing vehicle 2 to strike vehicle 3?
It would be vehicle 1 because it made vehicle 2 get hit by vehicle three who had nothing to do with it
Who is at fault I was making a left turn and I was struck in the passenger rear panel of my vehicle?
I don't know the details but most likely the vehicle that struck you is at fault if he/she was traveling in the same direction and lane behind you.
