You are if you were pulling out of a driveway or alleyway. If you were at a side road it would depend on who had the right of way. If you had to stop but he didn't, you're At Fault. If he had to stop but you didn't or if he ran a stop, then its his fault. The fact that he then hit two other cars is immaterial.

Who is at fault if you back up to get a parking space and driver whom is parked back in first pulls out of their space and both vehicles collide?
the one that is at fault is the driver that pulls out of their space that then caused both cars to crash . the one at fault should have waited until the other driver parks .
If you are sitting in the driver's seat of a parked car and open you're door and a passing by car hits the door who is at fault?
depend where you were. if you were on the road, its your fault cuz its a road! 4 moveing cars for crying out loud! if it was in a parking lot, blame the driver who hit your door. your supposed to be parked in a parking lot! dahhhhhhh!
If someone pulls over on a highway ramp with a disabled car and car b comes off the ramp and hits on the left back bumper whos fault is it?
Drivers of moving cars are presumed to be at fault when they hit parked or stationary cars or other objects. This is usually reasonable, because the driver of the parked car can't immediately move out of the way, and the driver of the moving car can. It is part of all state laws that drivers must avoid accidents when they are able to.
Will an insured driver liability cover intentional damages to uninsured car that is parked?
Yes, as long as the car is parked on private property. Cars stored on private property and not "in service" are the same as any other property, If the insured runs into your parked car our your house the insurance will pay. That's not quite correct. If the damage was intentional, meaning that the driver of the insured car deliberately struck the uninsured parked car, then the at fault driver's insurance will NOT pay because of a clause in the policy that excludes coverage for 'intentional acts' like criminal activity (which is what this is). So the parked car's owner would have to pursue a civil case against the at fault driver and try to collect against their personal assets.
Who is at fault if a driver backs into a parked car that is parked past a no parking sign?
Some people incorrectly believe: "It is the parked car driver that is at fault because the car was parked past the sign." However, a parked car does not have the ability to see and avoid other cars; the drivers of the other cars are responsible for trying to avoid hitting any object that may be standing in the way, regardless of how it got there or whether it happens to be there legally. Could I legally crash into a parked car simply because it's time ran out on the parking meter? Parking laws rarely have anything to do with liability to other drivers who crash into each other. On the other hand, if the illegally parked car was violating a view to a intersection approach, and two OTHER cars collide "because of it", then the parking law COULD apply and may serve to apportion fault to the driver of the parked car who created the specific hazard against which the sign was posted, but most of the blame is on the other drivers who failed to exercise caution while driving. It still doesn't give someone the roght to drive into it.
If a speeding driver hits your car and causes a 4 car accident will his insurance pay for your car and all the cars your was pushed into?
Depends on exactly how it happened. From what you've told us, yes, the speeding driver would be responsible for all the damage if his speeding was the direct (and only) cause of the accident. But if you were trying to beat a red light or were pulling into the street from a driveway or alley, you are also at-fault.
Who is at fault if someone backed into a car parked in a fire lane when there was ample room to avoid the collision?
In any jurisdiction in the US, you are at fault because you shouldn't have been parked there. She would have had even more room if you weren't parked illegally. No. Removing the "fire lane" sign would not have avoided the collision! You are not at fault for a collision just because you were parked in an illegal place when someone hit your car. That is why they have mirrors, windows and brakes on cars: so the other driver can see parked cars (or wandering children) and stop to avoid recklessly crashing into them. A person who could have avoided a collision by exercising ordinary care in stopping sooner, but failed to do so, is responsible for the entire damage, regardless of what was hit or how it got there.
Who is at fault when you start to pull out because your in a blind spot and a speeding car comes out of nowhere and hits you and than hits 2 parked cars. i didn't get a ticket.?
Not knowing all the details but what you have described, it is your fault for pulling out and being struck. It is the law to make sure the road is safe to pull out regardless of how fast traffic is going.
Who is at fault at if someone in speeding abit down a main road and another car pulls out of a side street and is hit from behind both cars are right of's?
Your question is neither clear or definitive. How ever the driver of the car that drove into the rear of another car is at fault. I assume that the car that was speeding a bit was not involved, you do not include this vehicle in the accident, but he has no culpability.
Someone is backing out of a parking spot and they hit youwho is at fault?
If this is a simple case of one driver backing into the car directly behind it, then the moving driver is at fault. That driver would be at fault even if the car that gets hit is illegally parked or parked to closely behind the moving driver. A moving driver is supposed to watch where he is going to make sure the way is clear and it is safe to proceed. If he moves without first making sure all is clear, then he is negligent because he is not allowed to plow into another car just because it shouldn't be there. Drivers are not allowed to run down jay-walkers just because it is illegal to cross at that spot (no matter how annoying that is). On the other hand if this is an accident where both cars are in motion then it is possible for the other driver to be at fault or both could be at fault.
When two cars are parked in private drive and one is not parked well and the other slides down and scrapes the other is anyone at fault neither car was running?
I believe the owner of the car that slid down would be responsible since it's the driver's responsibiltiy to ensure the car is parked securely. And since the car did slide down, then the insurance company is likely to say that car wasn't parked properly.
What should you do if your parked car was hit by a driver insured with no fault and you have no insurance?
I know someone currently in that situation. If the insured person is at fault (states so on police report) you should do your best to obtain a police report and get his insurance information. You or your attorney should contact his insurance company to file a claim. This is the stage my friend is at. I will let you know how it turns out. In her situation she was able to obtain an arrest report as it was the hit and run of a parked car by a drunk driver. The driver was arrested that evening and several other cars on the block were damaged.
