Backing out of a parking spaceThe person backing up is At Fault, they have a greater duty the fact that the person is driving on the wrong side makes no difference. the person shoudl of waited to back out.

--yes but like all accidents like these, it is circumstantial; if person A is backing out, person B is flying by @ 20+ mph, person A checks everywhere & sees nothing and proceeds to back out. they are then hit by car A who is at fault for 'not able to control his/her vehicle'. if both are going proper speeds & it is just a bump, it is definitely A's fault, cuz B has the right of way

best answer without more infodepends if you're both backing up at the same time from opposite sides, which I'm assuming both of you were, then i would assume no one will be found at fault unless someone was recklessly pulling out (ie. speeding out).

in the event that one person was backing out and the person was driving by instead of backing out as well, then chances are the person backing out will be found at fault unless proof can be shown that vision was impaired by an item out of the control of the driver.... or of course unless other specific circumstances are present.

I had a friend who got a ticket for backing out of a driveway. It was not in a neighborhood, it was on a 'regular' road. He didn't cause a wreck or anything, but a policeman was driving by and turned around and came back to give him a ticket. Told him it was illegal to back out into a road.

The person at fault would be the one backing into a parking space. Because they are going to look at it as, your supposed to pull into the parking space front first, not backing in. So it would be your fault. But I'm sure that both of you would get a ticket or something else, because they hit you, and you are violating parking lot conduct.

The one "moving" in reverse.

If one car is in motion and the other is parked, (not in motion) then the car in motion is the only one that can be at fault. We are supposed to look first before we place the car in motion.

That's the decision of a police officer or a judge.
