Both are equally At Fault and you may both have to use your own insurance to pay the damage. If a police report was filed, then the police will determine the % of fault to each person. CORRECTION - Your INSURANCE COMPANY will determine the fault - not the police. Yes, it may be a 50/50 situation, unless one party admits 100% fault.

If you back out of a driveway and strike a moving car who is at fault?
The person backing out of the driveway.
Who is at fault if you back out of your driveway cross 3 lanes put in drive and got hit by another car backing out of his driveway?
If you were fully in the lane, and he is backing from private property onto public property more than likely he will bare the majority of fault/liablilty.
Car is reversing out of driveway into public road into path of car which hits the back of the reversing car?
The backing car is at fault
Who is at fault if backing out of a parking lot space and another vehicle behind you is also backing out?
both of you for not looking back
Who is at fault if you are backing out of a driveway your back tires haven't left the sidewalk yet and your neighbor pulls in front of your driveway to back up into a parking space on the street?
Finding out the answer to these sorts of questions is what courts are for. The answer depends on the details, but from the brief description given, I'm inclined toward the position that it's probably your fault, or a mixture of fault, but with you being the one mostly in the wrong. People who are backing up are supposed to take extra caution.
Who is at fault when a car is blocking the driveway and as you back out you try to stop but it is icy and you hit the car blocking the driveway?
What type of driveway? Was it a curving and could not see the car before rounding the curve? Is it straight; then why did you not see the car blocking the driveway before even getting into car and/or backing..
If you were parked in a parking space and you back out of your spot and while you are still backing out of it another car backs into you That is their fault right?
Generally, the person backing out is at fault. If you are both backing out you're probably both at fault and will probably share the cost of repair, with each repairing their own. yes because you were backing out and they hit your car its their fault!!!!!!! yes because you were backing out and they hit your car its their fault!!!!!!!
What if a car hits you as you back into your driveway?
if you're reversing into your driveway and someone hits you its their fault. you were moving away and they wern't paying attention. Now if you went back into the street to straighten out and back back in then it might be your fault, but if you were reversing the whole way and never came back out of your driveway it would be theirs
Who is at fault when you are backing out and a car pulls up behind you after you have looked?
it is ALWAYS the fault of the backing driver. They bear the responsibility to make sure they can back with safety.
Who's at fault when two cars back up into each other- one car backing out of a driveway the other in the process of making a three point Uturn?
Should it ever get to court, most judges will assign split negligence to both drivers, although the pressumption is that the driver backing out of the driveway is supposed to be looking both ways up and down down the street.
If backing out of your driveway you come to a full stop at the end of it because you see another car coming and the other car hits you while your bumper is still on your own driveway who ist at fault.?
It depends. Which bumper is still in your driveway, your front or rear? Did the other car leave the roadway and hit your car? After you came to a full stop did you then proceed to back out and then got hit? If any part of your car was in the roadway then it would most probably be your fault. Any vehicle that is entering into traffic from a driveway is required to yield the right of way to those vehicles traveling within the roadway. If you stuck 2 inches of your car into the road and you were hit, it would be your fault.
Car 1 is backing out of driveway Car 2 is in front of Car 1 on driveway partially enters road and then stops Car 2 driver gets out to check mail box and Car 1 rear-ends Car 2 Who's at Fault?
Car 1 is at fault - the driver should have checked that the road was clear before backing back and should have continued to check that the way was clear while reversing. Definitly car 1
