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.
If your car rolls away and hits a car that is illegally parked who is at fault?
