Best Answer

Both of you are probably At Fault. If you see another person backing you should stop and signal the other driver if possible. Otherwise stop and wait until that driver completes his backing maneuver.

Added: It is the obligation of the backing driver to ascertain that his movement does not interfere with any other vehicles. In this instance, you both apparently failed to do so.

If two cars are backing out of parking spaces and one car is almost finished backing when the other car hits it with their bumper who is at fault damage to rear right bumper?

Need more information, where is your damage exactly, where is the other partys damage/impact. If you had control of the lane, then the other party will likely carry the majority of fault. If you could give me more details I could be of greater assistance to you.


What if two cars backing out of a parking spot and a vehicle coming from your right backs out the two cars collide right rear bumper to right rear bumper who is at fault?

Both partys are at fault and each party will need to file there vehicle under there own insurance. Parking lot accidents are always share fault unless one of the vehicle was parked, but since both vehicles were backing out at the same time, both partys are at fault unless you get a kind person to admit it was there fault.


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.


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.


Who is at fault when both party back up to each other in the parking lot?

If both parties are backing and both admit that they are backing, the fault lies with both drivers. The point of impact on each vehicle would be used to determine who was mostly out of the parking space and a percentage would be assinged to each person. If you both hit each other rear bumper to rear bumper, it would likely be 50%. How much you are able to recover from the other insurance company depends on what state you are in. In some states, you would recover nothing, some states you would recover 50% and the other party would recover the same from your policy. As a claims liability adjuster for several years, I can assure you there are very few parking lot accidents in which both drivers admit they were backing. Your insurance company would have to complete an investigation to gather facts and determine if they have enough evidence to support either driver's version of the accident. An independent eyewitness (NOT a passenger in either of the vehicles) can usually clear things up quickly. Also check with the store where the accident happened and verify if they have videotape of the parking lot. Many do and liability can easily be determined with a video of the accident. If there is no tape, no eyewitness, the points of impact do not reveal anything and both driver's are saying they were not backing at the time of impact, it would be a word versus word dispute and each would file with his own insurance company.
