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.

What does the Bumper Bully do?

The Bumper Bully is an ergonomically designed all weather bumper guard. It was designed to replace the ugly, bulky bumper guards and bumper protector products that glue to your car bumper. Our unique rear bumper protector shields your car bumper from the vehicle behind you. When properly attached it may help protect the bumpers finish from minor scratches during parking maneuvers. Having a Bumper Bully attached is like hiring a body guard to watch over your car. Stop being bullied by other cars. The Bumper Bully is an innovative new bumper protection product that's easy to use and quick to attach/remove. Its a temporary parking guard for the rear bumper that can be used for indoor parking garages, outdoor parking garages, valet parking garages and outdoor applications, such as street parking. Each year millions of dollars are spent fixing bumpers, most of which are damaged in parking garages and street parking. This figure is likely to increase, as more cars are being introduced with plastic bumpers. Likewise the demand for bumper protection accessories will also increase. The Bumper Bully is unique because it focuses on protecting the middle portion of the rear bumper, the area most often damaged in parking. Our rear bumper protector was designed for maximum rear bumper coverage (46”x12”), while maintaining a compact design.

How can I protect my front bumper from being damaged when parallel parking?

While there is no right way to parallel park, there are several unwritten rules to parallel parking that everyone should know. Rule#1 Never upset another parallel parker, especially if they park in front or behind you. Some things that upset other drivers are (a) not leaving them enough space to manuever out of a parking space (b) parking your vehicle with your front bumper mashed into their rear bumper. Rule#2 To keep your bumpers safe when parking, never park in a tight space and always give other cars enough space to exit a parking spot. A driver that's locked into a parking spot is like a caged animal...they will bump your car as many times as needed.

Two cars back up at the same time in a parking lot and hit bumper to bumper. One car is at a slight angle and has a dent in the side of the bumper but the other is fine so who is at fault?

Easy, both are. Both drivers weren't watching behind, and so bumped into one another. Fault belongs to both, and both must come up with a suitable solution.
