Who's at fault when someone hits you in a parking lot where someone was driving the wrong direction?

The person who cuts across parking spots, it's illegal. If the parking lot is private property the damage caused in an accident is a civil matter not a legal one in most cases. Traffic laws do not extend to private property.

Who is at fault in Florida when you are backing out of a parking lot space and hit someone?
It would be the person driving fault because it is like the same thing as driving and hitting someone.
If you are pulling out of parking lot and someone is driving in a parking lot a little fast and hit you whose fault is it?
Usually their is no fault associated with parking lots. I'm sure your insurance company looks at it as your fault.
Who is at fault if you hit a car that is blocking you from driving forward out of a parking spot?
Yours. If it was stationary and you hit it then it was your fault.
If you are pulling out of parking lot and someone is driving a little fast in a parking spot and hits you whose fault is it?
most of the time the person already in the 'driving lane'' having possession of that lane, other drivers have to yield to that person...however if someone were speeding more than likely will be a comparative neglience assessed to someone as well........
I live in California i was driving through my apartment complex when i was hit in the front driver side corner by a person backing out of a parking spot. Am i at fault?
The greater fault lies with the person backing out of the parking space. You may still be partially at fault for not driving with due care.
You was backing out of a parking spot and the other vehicle was coming from your left and hit your left side of the car who is at fault?
The person driving in a forward direction has the right of way. If you are backing up, you must wait until traffic is clear before moving. Similar to a rear-ender, when the person hitting someone in front of them is always at fault.
Who is at fault in a parking lot accident when one driver is reversing out and the other is driving in and they collide?
The one in reverse is most probably at fault here!
If you are backing into a parking space and you are hit by the drivers side door to the rear wheel who is at fault?
Well if you were backing in and hit someone then it is your fault. But if they hit you, then it is their fault.
If someone is driving your car and they hit a pedestrian who is at fault?
I believe it could be both persons fault. If you're driving and someone decides to jump in front of your car it's not you fault. If you're driving and aren't being careful or just can't stop in time, than it's your fault. -Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
Who is at fault in an accident where a vehicle is backing out of a parking spot and strikes a vehicle that is turning into the parking lot in Texas?
If my memory serves me correctly, it would be the fault of the driver who was in reverse if that driver struck the other car mostly on its broad side. After all, the driver who is pulling out of a parking lot has the right-of-way as opposed to someone in a parking spot. As far as an insurance claim goes the drivers would have to have insurance, and the driver who was struck would want to make sure they were driving within the bounds of the law (such as observing posted speed limits, stop signs, direction arrows,etc.).Hope this helps.
Who's at fault in a car accident when you're backing into your parking space and he's driving forward. your left hand side back bumper hits his right hand side front bumper?
If he was driving forward past his intended parking space to take yours, then he is at fault. Cutting across is not permitted in parking lots although many people do it anyway.
Who responsible your driving and shopping cart hits your car?
You were driving in a parking lot and a shopping cart hit your car. Did someone push it out in front of you or did you hit it while it was just sitting there waiting for the parking lot attendant to come get it out of the hot sun. I would guess the driver of the car is a fault since a shopping cart is an inanimate object.
