It is never okay to walk on private property without permission. If the pedestrian walks on private property, the pedestrian is a trespasser.
Pedestrians have the right of way. Unless you can prove he/she was grosely negligent or did it on purpose then you are at fault. If you are backing down on your private driveway and a neighbor who walks behind your car on your private driveway is hit and falls down who is at fault? The neighbor pedestrian has been drinking, unstable on his feet was standing in his driveway at his car then suddenly is behind my vehicle.
It should, there is virtually no difference between private property and public property when it comes to accidents.
doesn't matter if an accident was on private property. get a police report immediately. this will be used to determine fault, if any.
BOTH drivers are at fault for backing without caution. If the accident occurred in a driveway on private property, no ticket was probably issued. Turn it over to your insurance companies.
Yes you can be ticketed. Most parking lots are actually private property but they still come under the Vehicle and Traffic law. It all depends on how the law defines a roadway and in the case of unsafe backing there is not restriction on where the event occurs.
If you were fully in the lane, and he is backing from private property onto public property more than likely he will bare the majority of fault/liablilty.
You will be in some trouble :D
you would probably get arestted and go to jail for 3yrs
