When the police determine fault, there is little you can do. You could fight it out in court, but it may end up wasting more money in the end.
Yes, at least partially. If the moving car was being operated recklessly at the time it hit you, the other driver may also be partly liable.
Parking lot accident are the most awful claims to deal with. Unless you have witnesses or video of the accident. It is a case of he said/she said. Since all parking lot of private property, it is not a policy issue either. Most of these cases end up being a 50/50, 60/40, or 30/70 type of at fault claim. If you are ever involved in an accident in a parking lot, find witnesses and get their information! Also, check to see if there are cameras in the lot and get footage of the incident.
Bankruptcy is altogether different than criminal settlements
as a rule the car backing up is more responcible cause they should be being a lot more carefull and watchfull
The owner of the car is going to be held liable. And it won't do your daughter any good either, it will delay her being able to get a license.
If you are pulling into traffic, from a being parked, you have interrupted the flow of traffic. That's the tricky part about parallel parking; when to do it and how not to interfere with cars. But there is also a last chance clause; if a car sees you from a good distance away they should make every effort to stop, even if you are blocking their way. If the accident was avoidable, the car striking the car in a parking manuver can also be held liable.
everything can happen with everybody. you can be as smart or as responsible as you want but still you're still human being!
Your old insurance company will be liable. You should be calling and talking to your claims department
If you are in an accident in a rental car and you are not listed as the driver, you will be held personally responsible for all costs incurred for both parties. This would apply whether you are at fault or not!
Rush hour, there might be an accident somewhere on the road, a slow driver backing everyone up, a low speed limit, how small the roads are.
From the explanation given in the discussion area - it would unfortunately appear as if both drivers were at fault. The backing driver for not being aware of his surroundings, and the other driver for failing to yield to the backing car when he saw that the backing car was already in motion.
Most of the time this will be a 50/50. If there is Video evedence or a witness that says one or other car was being careless or driving to fast or there is other evedence that could change. One of the things to look at is did the backing car back into the side of the other car or did the backing vehical get hit in the side and how far down the side? If you have evedence of this you might convince the judge and your insurance company who was "At Fault"
