It depends. Parking lots are private property so the usual rules
of the road don't apply. In some states it is 50-50 as far as who's
at fault, because both drivers have a responsibility to watch for
other drivers. Do not admit fault and let the insurance companies
handle it.

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.

Some *strikes* can be deadly though... Strikes to the head or

rare and usually requires the victim to have a previous condition
such as osteoporosis (which causes weak bone structure), and as
such are accident, not intentional.
