Who is at fault when you back into a car that is illegally parked in the fire lane.?
The driver of the vehicle in motion. The fact that the vehicle that was struck was illegally parked has not bearing on the responsbility of the driver of the vehicle that caused the damage. Well, technically you would be at fault. You can always take it to small claims court that the car was blocking you in, by being parked illegaly in the fire lane, you thought you could get out, but underestimated the driving room. Also, to help you is to get pictures of the car in the fire lane. OR, you could consider it a hit and run?

If an uninsured driver backs into a parked car that was backed in making it less visible to the driver on private property and the driver nor it's passengers could see the car what happens?
You hit a parked vehicle. No matter how or where it was parked, you are responsible for the damages. If you hit the car, you could have seen the car if you had been looking. You have no insurance which is a violation of the law. Pay the owner of the car you hit and accept responsibility for your poor driving, and stop trying to blame this on how the vehicle you hit was parked. It is your fault plain and simple.

The fact that the car was illegally parked doesn't matter. The driver of the moving car was responsible to adjust their driving to the road conditions, and to ensure it was safe to proceed. This accident will be the fault of the uninsured driver.

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.
