Auto Accidents

The At-Fault motorist (via their insurance) is liable for damage to property.

It is the person who is blocking the private driveway's fault because they should have known not to park in front of a private driveway in the first place. However, if the private driveway is not marked with a sign of some sort to let people know that it is private, it may be the driveway owner's fault.

Of course you are. This is no different than "Am I at fault for seeing a car coming and jumping in front of it from the sidewalk." Look before you leap.

The insurance company of the car whose door was opened will pay for it.

Watch for speeding cars.

over a 100,000 survive but about 42,000 dont.

Vehicles are insured not drivers. If you are qualified and authorized to operate an auto the insurance on it will pay for it and any damage done by it.

In order for there to be blame on the owner, you'd have to show they had a duty of care and were obligated to take reasonable preventative actions that they failed to take.

He hasn't died. He is now able to have visitors. His jawbone is broken, so is most of the left side of his body. He has started rehab and his memory is coming back to him. It will take about a year before he has finished his rehabilitation. As it would if you where hit by two cars. So, no, he isn't dead. Hes a good friend of mine, how do you know him?

The vehicle that pulled out is responsible and should be charged with "Failiure To Yield Right Of Way."

i would say about 100,000 at least there is a car crash everyday unfortuantly

too many

Re-phrase the question - it is not clear.

Yours. If you backed out into a street, it is YOUR responsibility to observe and make certain there is no interfering traffic.

According to the National Hwy Safety Ass. approximately 2,000 children die each year.

If a person who sues you was the person responsible for the accident, they have little chance of winning the claim. But they have succeeded in scaring you, reducing the chance that you will sue them. It looks like you must counter-claim, and say that you are waiting for the outcome of the court-case on the ticket for the accident.

If they are found guilty of causing the accident, no court will hold you responsible for their damages.

It varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction according to a fee schedule established by that particular state's DMV. It is called "Hit and Run" in some areas or "Leaving After Colliding" in others. Did you identify yourself to anyone - did you leave any information with the other vehicle? It is an offense for which you can be arrested instead of just receiving a ticket.

Check that its all the way in park, sometimes my car will do this. Jiggle it a bit

ScienceDaily reported on June 1, 2008 that 24% of car accidents are due to ice, snow or rain.

Its the person that hit the car coming in to the parking lot because probably the bad car was speeding. :)

Generally, if you were in CA and I am assuming you are not talking about a fender bender or minor accident, you would lose your license and be required to make a filing to reinstate your license.

In order to maintain your license you may be required to file what is called an SR-1P or an SR-22 which is simply proof you have insurance in place. If your insurance expires or you let it lapse, the insurance company will notify DMV and your license will be suspended again.

Now you said the car you hit has insurance. This could mean they (the insurance company) will probably attempt to go after you to recover damages they had to pay on your behalf. You are still responsible!
