Any time a vehicle hits a parked vehicle or other stationary object, the operator of the moving vehicle is responsible.
If they were not parked illegally then they are not responsible for your accident.
It depends if the illegally parked car is a danger or interuption to the normal flow of traffic. For instance if someone is parked in a handicap spot illegally, and you hit them, obviously it is your fault. You need to be able to prove that due to the other persons actions of illegally parking, it inevitably led to you hitting their vehicle. Just remember, you are the one moving, and you are the one who hit the "non-moving" object.
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.
The person's who parked it there, (its parked illegally.)Not your fault.
Yes, a person with a handicap card can be towed if they are parked illegally. They can not be towed for parking in a handicap parking spot as long as they have the sign.
It would be the car who had parked illegally because he was not parked in a legal spot.
Put the car back in the space and take a picture to bring to court with you. I had a similar incident and won the case. I still had to pay for being parked illegally but at a significantly reduced amount.
The owner of the illegally parked vehicle may be ticketed, but the "at fault" driver is responsible for the damages to the parked vehicle.
You've crashed into an illegally parked car.... You can be sued...
i was told its because they are for when you are parked only, and if you drive with them on someone could mistake that you're parked and hit you.
Yours, because the question is ... even though that car was illegally parked, what type of driving were you doing that caused you to hit it? No fault only applies to injuries. Property damage is the responsibility of the at fault driver.
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...
