This question would require much more information to be answered. Very possibly the owner of each vehicle could be responsible for their own damage. Consider seeking legal advice.

Are you liable when turning left into a road you hit a car that is parked on double yellow lines on your side?
Sorry, but it's awfully hard to find a parked car liable for an accident, even if illegally parked.
Who is at fault when you back into a car that is illegally parked?
Of course it is your fault. The fact that the car was illegally parked is of no consequence. You didn't look where you were backing or you would not have hit the parked car. Would you have hit this car if you had been looking? Perhaps the illegally parked car is a Mini Cooper, parked illegally 1 foot behind a Hummer and therefore not visable when the driver looks before backing up...
Who is liable in a rear end collision if the car that was rear ended was parked?
As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.

Whose fault is it if an uninsured driver slides down a snowy unplowed driveway into the illegally parked car of the homeowner?
The fact that the car was illegally parked doesn't matter. The driver of the moving car was responsible to adjust their driving to the road conditions, and to ensure it was safe to proceed. This accident will be the fault of the uninsured driver.
Who is at fault if a car leaving a parking space strikes a car that is illegally parked in a driving lane?
The driver of the moving vehicle. It's impossible to assess liability to an inanimate object (in this case, a parked car). And, certainly, it's aggravating when an illegally parked car is blocking the way. That's probably why it's illegal to park there, anyway. But... 1. It doesn't give someone the right to hit the parked car and, 2. A person operating a vehicle has a greater duty to make sure the way is clear. Recently, one of the larger insurance companies has been assessing liability to the owners of parked vehicles (for instance, a vehicle that has broken down and is, for all practical purposes, parked illegally on the side of the road or blocking traffic). To date, that company hasn't won a single arbitration to support such a liability decision.
If your car is parked illegally and someone is driving down a one way street drunk the wrong way and hits your car are they responsible to pay for the car or are you because your car was illegally?
The owner of the illegally parked vehicle may be ticketed, but the "at fault" driver is responsible for the damages to the parked vehicle.
If you hit a car parked illegally across from your driveway while backing out are you responsible for repairing the car that is parked illegally?
Yes. Being illegally parked does not affect fault. If you strike a parked vehicle, it is ALWAYS your fault because you have a duty to ensure the way was clear before moving.
