Who would be at fault if an older person went around an illegally parked car and slipped and fell?

the person how parked.

The fact the person was illegally parked in the zone is irrevelant with respect to the incident. If you found you couldn't make the corner or questioned it beforehand, you should have utilized other maneuvers in order to avoid the parked vehicle.

If the car is parked illegally, its driver will be considered at fault. The thinking is that if this person hadn't parked illegally in the first place, the accident probably would have been avoided. Traffic laws vary from state to state, however, so its best to check with the state where the accident occurred traffic laws.

Yes. The car created a traffic hazard. The person who parked the car is responsible for any accident that occurred as a result.

The person who is backing out

The person who is backing out of the driveway is completely at fault. Even if the other party was illegally parked, the driver of the other vehicle has the responsibility to look behind them for clearance.

The driver of the moving vehicle. It's impossible to assess liability to an inanimate object (in this case, a parked car). And, certainly, it's aggravating when an illegally parked car is blocking the way. That's probably why it's illegal to park there, anyway. But... 1. It doesn't give someone the right to hit the parked car and, 2. A person operating a vehicle has a greater duty to make sure the way is clear. Recently, one of the larger insurance companies has been assessing liability to the owners of parked vehicles (for instance, a vehicle that has broken down and is, for all practical purposes, parked illegally on the side of the road or blocking traffic). To date, that company hasn't won a single arbitration to support such a liability decision.

a person who illegally smuggles humans is either a human trafficker, or a people smuggler

A hacker tries to access a computer illegally.

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.

They can be arrested and deported.

this person is called a bigamist

Well the person that hit you is not responsible enough to drive with insurance, if someone was in your parked car, you would still be responsible,its your car after all. The person that hit your car would be liable and you would have to go after them legally. If the uninsured driver in fact gets injured he will be responsible for himself, insurance companies are not in the business of paying people who drive illegally.

If you reverse your car and then collide with a parked car , the person who did the reversing is at fault.

No, they are here illegally and will be until they get a green card or register as a u.s. citizen

If you're looking for sympathy you're in the wrong place. You are completely responsible for all damages. And let me point out that if you hadn't been driving the car, (you know, illegally) you wouldn't be in this mess. And more importantly, the other person who's car you... destroyed? wouldn't be having to figure out what to do now.

The person who drove their car into the parked car.

A: To carry (alcoholic liquor) on one's person illegally. B: to manufacture, sell, or transport for sale (alcoholic liquor) illegally

Depends on the state as far as I am aware but I think for the most part you are screwed if they are here illegally at least. If they are just uninsured but live here sue them and all should be fine... As long as you have there name and plate of course.... * You are never in the right to hit a parked vehicle nor rear end a car. FactPalooza.Com Interesting Facts. Thank You

Come on, you know the answer to this. The person driving the car that caused the damage to the two parked cars is responsible for all damage. Who else would be at fault? Accept responsibility for your actions.

You have a right to back out of your legal parking spot. If you use your mirrors and do not see that there is anyone behind your car you are able to back out. If a car parks illegally behind you THEY are not only guilty of illegally parking but they are the cause of the accident. All it takes is an extra one minute for the illegal parker to find a parking spot that will not cause an accident. We make choices and when we choose to park illegally any accidents are the fault of the person chosing to park behind cars that could be moving out at any time.

The person who hit a parked vehicle is at fault.

In any jurisdiction in the US, you are at fault because you shouldn't have been parked there. She would have had even more room if you weren't parked illegally. No. Removing the "fire lane" sign would not have avoided the collision! You are not at fault for a collision just because you were parked in an illegal place when someone hit your car. That is why they have mirrors, windows and brakes on cars: so the other driver can see parked cars (or wandering children) and stop to avoid recklessly crashing into them. A person who could have avoided a collision by exercising ordinary care in stopping sooner, but failed to do so, is responsible for the entire damage, regardless of what was hit or how it got there.

It all depends. Both you and the car that is double parked are responsible. when you do hit a car that is double parked, and the person is not at his/her car, make sure you leave a note saying that you hit his/her car. why leave a note? ITS AGAINST THE LAW TO LEAVE A CRIME SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking from experience if a person opens their care door into a lane of traffic, they are responsible if it gets hit. If you legally go around a car that is double parked and the occupant opens their door and you hit it, they are responsible. Don't move. Call the police.
