It's likely to be a 50-50 result with both sides taking equal blame unless one can prove why it was more the other drivers fault. For example ....were they not looking? (especially true of the one going forward - did they not see the other car?) Going too quickly? Could they have used their horn to warn the other driver? Where is the damage to the vehicles? (does that help prove one was 90% into the spot when the other one tried to drive in?). All these little points can make the difference between a 50-50 result and one where there is an outright 100% fault/no fault decision. - Paul Rossiter - Solicitor @ PSR Solicitors

I would have to say that technically it would be the driver pulling out of the parking space. TECHNICALLY speaking that is. The insurance companies would probably try to say it is an equal at fault accident maybe.

Who is at fault when a person is pulling out of a parking spot and going slowly using caution and a car traveling the parking lot collide?
A vehicle traveling in a parking lot has established use of the lane and the right of way. A vehicle in a parking space and backing into the lane must yield to oncoming traffic. Therefore, if a vehicle is backing out of a parking space and pulls into the path of an oncoming vehicle that has already established the lane, the vehicle backing would be at fault for the accident. However, if the vehicle which established use of the lane had an opportunity to avoid hitting the vehicle backing out of the space and failed to do so, there could be comparative negligence on both vehicles or on the one who had the opportunity to avoid the accident.
