Whether you leave or not, it is both criminal and civil in nature. On the criminal side, it depends on the extent of the damage as most states divide felonies from misdemeanors based on the amount of damage and in a civil case it can be a judgment to pay for the damages. Leaving the scene of an accident, if this is what you are talking about, is typically a separate offense and usually a misdemeanor. You'd have to check your local statutes and laws.

As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
