Who is at fault in a car accident when you're backing into your parking space and he's trying to sneak behind you before you park. Your left side back bumper hits his right side back fender?

Generally, who ever is in reverse should yield the right of way.
But if I was the claims adjuster for the insurance company with what you say
(trying to sneak behind you) I would find him partially at fault.
Although if he didn't see you were backing or you had no turn signal on,
you would be the one At Fault.

I'm confused by the question. You were both backing? And back into each other? If that is correct more than likely you will each be 50% at fault. If you can provide more information (ie, where on each vehicle exactly is the damage, who was farther out etc), then perhaps I can be of more assistance.

Clearly, if you hit a stopped vehicle with yours then you are at fault, regardless of whether you were going forward or backward. Similarly, anyone backing up has an obligation to use the utmost care.Here is a fact you should know . Any accident in a parking lot is not covered by any insurance , only wrecks on public roads . Insurers do cover accidents that occur in private parking lots. The police however will not respond nor make a report unless there are injuries. The person who was backing up will most likely be the "at fault" driver
