It sounds like that if you can prove it, he is very much at fault in this instance. I would contact the store/mall security to see if there is surveillance or utilize any witnesses or else this may be deemed 50/50 fault if there is no stead-fast proof. Regardless of the illegal parking, the driver of the vehicle in motion is responsible for any damages that occur. The law will presume he or she did not use reasonable caution in the operation of the vehicle.
