Both drivers are At Fault because backing requires utmost vigilance to see and avoid hazards. Being "out further" won't be the deciding factor, unless it can be shown one or the other drivers should have seen the other because of the positions, failed to do so, resulting in the collision.
If you are driving the backing car, no matter WHERE the other cas is located, YOU are the one at fault if you collide with it.
Most defintley his fault, you were backing out, he should have saw you first.
The backing car would be at fault. The question implies that the backing car crossed the center line and would have been moving against the flow of traffic.
Generally, the person backing out is at fault. If you are both backing out you're probably both at fault and will probably share the cost of repair, with each repairing their own. yes because you were backing out and they hit your car its their fault!!!!!!! yes because you were backing out and they hit your car its their fault!!!!!!!
Any time the driver who is backing is at fault, in all 50 states.
Well if you were backing in and hit someone then it is your fault. But if they hit you, then it is their fault.
Yup. Both of you are at fault, and will most likely have to use your own insurance to repair your cars.
Both partys are at fault and each party will need to file there vehicle under there own insurance. Parking lot accidents are always share fault unless one of the vehicle was parked, but since both vehicles were backing out at the same time, both partys are at fault unless you get a kind person to admit it was there fault.
You are at fault.
You are simply because you have more responsibility when backing up to make sure it it clear.I found this out when backing out of driveway(mine) and someone turning in hit me.The insurance paid (we both had the same company) but cancelled my insurance.Alfa
a fault
From the explanation given in the discussion area - it would unfortunately appear as if both drivers were at fault. The backing driver for not being aware of his surroundings, and the other driver for failing to yield to the backing car when he saw that the backing car was already in motion.
