This has alot to do with if the impact is on private property and if you had permission to park in the friends driveway, then ultimately if you want to remain friends. If it's an easement or such, the other answers may apply.
Another View: Whether you are on someone else's private property makes no difference, the striking vehicle is At Fault. Your insurance companies will have to battle it out.

both of you for not looking back
Who is at fault when someone backs up in a parking lot to let another car out of parking space and ends up hitting a car behind who is backing out of a parking space?
Depends on the jurisdiction, but typically, two vehicles backing up is a 50/50.
If you were backing out of a parking spot in Washington state and suddenly seen a car approaching from behind you stopped but were hit from behind by the other car who's at fault?
Hard to say. Possibly equal fault by both parties but most likely the person backing out.
Who is at fault when someone who is backing out of a parking lot space hits your side?
The person backing out. If you were in the lane/road behind them they needed to use caution when backing out.
Who is at fault if you are backing out of a parking space and an oncoming vehicle to your rightjust pulled in the adjacent right parking space directly behind you and suddenly back out and hit you?
Backing up--it is your fault.
Who is at fault if you are in a parking lot and while backing up to let the other car pull out of the parking space you collide with the car behind you?
Clearly, if you hit a stopped vehicle with yours then you are at fault, regardless of whether you were going forward or backward. Similarly, anyone backing up has an obligation to use the utmost care.Here is a fact you should know . Any accident in a parking lot is not covered by any insurance , only wrecks on public roads . Insurers do cover accidents that occur in private parking lots. The police however will not respond nor make a report unless there are injuries. The person who was backing up will most likely be the "at fault" driver
If a car is backing into a parking space and collides with the car that behind it that is motionless and has nowhere to go who is at fault?
The car that is in motion is ALWAYS at fault.
What is a backfriend?
A backfriend is a secret enemy, or a person who is always behind another in terms of support or backing.
Who is at fault when you are backing out of a parking space and another car makes a left hand turn into the parking lot behind your car after you begun to back out?
Most of the time this will be a 50/50. If there is Video evedence or a witness that says one or other car was being careless or driving to fast or there is other evedence that could change. One of the things to look at is did the backing car back into the side of the other car or did the backing vehical get hit in the side and how far down the side? If you have evedence of this you might convince the judge and your insurance company who was "At Fault"
If you get rear ended in a parking lot who is responsible?
You if you were backing up. If you were waiting at a stop sign or stoplight or even an entrance and someone else hit you, it would be the person behind's fault.
If you are backing up in a parking lot and you strike a car that is parked where there is not even a spot are you liable or is he?
Think about this your are backing up, and your neighbors little boy is playing in your yard, and he isn't supposed to be in your yard and you hit him, (a) did you see him? can you hit him because he is not supposed to be there? We are responsible to know what is behind us and be aware of where our car is going. Two wrongs do not make it right. I think you are responsible for hitting a car that is behind you when your are backing up.
You were at a complete stop in a parking lot when the car ahead of you began backing up and then hit you you feel as though she is completely liable as your vehicle was not even moving are you correct?
yes you are correct. the person backing up is responsible for making sure the area behind their vehicle is clear.
