This is sticky, because the argument could be made, had you not been driving in the wrong direction you wouldn't have been there thus the accident wouldn't have happened.. however, and agrument could also be made, what if it had been a child walking? I'm guessing since you were going the wrong direction the backing driver didn't even look in that direction. Were I handling this claim with this small amount of info, the backing driver would still bare the brunt of the liablity decision, the backing party is held to a higher degree of care when backing. I would probably assess you with some negliegence, for going the wrong way 10-25%.....

Who is at fault when one driver side swiped another driver in a parking lot and the vehicle that was side swiped was on the wrong side of the road?
The vehicle on the wrong side of the road will more than likely be deemed the majority if not all at fault.
If you are parked at a curb in front of a house and a car across the street backs out of his drive way and hits your front left drivers side who is at fault?
If you were legally parked, the person backing up is at fault. If you were in a "No Parking" area, you are at fault.
Who is at fault if you were hit in a parking lot while parking if the car that hit you were on the wrong side of the parking lot and speeding?
The driver of the car that hit you would be at fault for failing to slow down and avoid hitting you, regardless of which side he or she was on. Parking lots are very dangerous places and people must slow down accordingly.

Who is at fault if a person backs out of a driveway and hits a parked car in the road and that car is partially blocking the drive way and facing the wrong direction of the traffic flow?
Both of you. You for "undo care and attention" and the other person will be fined for parking on the wrong side and blocking off the driveway. Marcy Under no circumstances would a "parked car" be at fault for an accident that you could have avoided by simply using due care as required under the circumstances. The fact that the car is parked illegally is between them and the constable and has no bearing on liability to you. All you had to do was have the illegally parked vehicle removed and you would have avoided any risk of collision, but you intentionally assumed the risk by taking matters into your own hands. Also, many jurisdictions do not prohibit "wrong side" parking, except on divided roadways.
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.
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.

Its the person that hit the car coming in to the parking lot because probably the bad car was speeding. :)

You go through the at fault driver's insurance carrier.
