If you are backing out of a driveway and a car hits you who is liable?
Anytime a vehicle is departing private property and entering a road, it must yield the right-of-way to traffic. The liability is with the backing driver until the backing vehicle is fully into the road. The vehicle already in the road must still take all prudent steps to avoid a collision where possible. If either vehicle is operated in an unsafe manner, the liability will be assigned accordingly.
This situation is not one of those nice clear cut answers, but it depends on the situation. If your rear door was open enough to block traffic, or the flow of traffic, then you would be at fault. By the same token if the person in the other car was driving in some manner that was reckless they could be at fault. This also depends on how your state laws work on impeding the flow of traffic.

It is unlikely that driver C or driver B could win a court argument suggesting that driver B felt compelled to act under driver A's suggestion. It was, therefore, driver B's decision to act and will ultimately be responsible for damages to driver C.
Cases where this may not be the case would be if driver A was a police officer or had some legal authority to compel driver B to act. But even in that case, it's highly unlikely that driver A would be determined to have any liability.

Are you at fault for if you hit a car's left rear quarter panel with your car?
Was the other vehicle moving or parked? If it was parked or stopped at a stop sign or red light then yes it was most likely your fault. If the person put their vehicle and backed into you then it would be their fault and not yours. There are several different ways that this could have occured with different measures of liability. The question is asked too simply to give you an answer.
