Who is at fault if you are backing up and the other car is driving straight looking for parking?
In most circumstances, the backing vehicle has the greater duty of care and would be found at fault.
Who is at fault when 2 vehicles are parked side by side and one vehicle hits the other vehicle while backing out?
If one vehicle is sitting parked and one is in motion, then logic dictates the vehicle that was in motion is at fault and therefore responsible for the damages.
In California who is at fault in an accident where a vehicle backing out of a parking spot strikes a vehicle that is already backed up and about to leave forward?
The person backing out I am asuming other person has finished reversing and is leaving if I understood correctly
Who is at fault when someone backs into your vehicle while pulling away from a pump at a gas station?
most times the person backing......rules of the road will dictate that the person backing must use a higher degree of care......nearly all claims I've worked where one is backing and other vehicle is moving forward, and certainly if stopped the backing party will be found fully or higher percentage at fault........
When backing up car on left was sitting still when car that was going out of stall was half way out of parking stall car on left rolled back and hit passenger wheel well who is at fault?
It sounds like the other vehicle was at fault for improper backing, but each state is different and some are no-fault states. Still, if you were in the roadway or parking lot ailse, then you are considered to have right of way. It is incumbent on the other vehicle to make sure the path is clear before backing into traffic.
If a vehicle is going down a one-way street backs up and hits a vehicle backing out of a parking space- who is at fault?
The vehicle backing up is the one that caused that accident by not looking so they get 99% of the blame. However the other gets1% as they were nOt stopping. BTW did this happen to u?
Who is at fault when you are backing out of a parking lot space and another vehicle is about to park right next to you?
It is not rare to be in this particular situation. Really, you are not at fault, but you still shouldn't get angry at the other vechicle's driver.Another View: Not enough information is given in the question. If the other car was stopped and waiting for you to back out and YOU ran into THEM, YOU are at fault.If both cars were in simultaneous motion (they were pulling in while you were backing out) BOTH parties are at fault. One for not yielding and the other for backing without caution.

If you are driving the backing car, no matter WHERE the other cas is located, YOU are the one at fault if you collide with it.
What will happen Florida when you back up into a parked car?
The law in every state is very clear about backing. The person backing up/out is at fault and responsible for any damages, regardless of the other vehicle's speed and/or position. It's also known as:"Limitations on backing".
If a car was parked on residential shared access and you hit it while backing out of the drive who is at fault if an insurance claim was made?
It would be darned hard to assess the blame on the parked car. If one vehicle is in motion and the other is not, 99.99% of the time, the moving vehicle is at fault.
Whose fault - my neighbor backed out of her driveway and hit my car while I was driving in the back lane Although I stopped and honked Now she claims that she was looking that I hit her.?
In any situation in which a vehicle backing out of a property hits another vehicle, the driver who was backing up is always at fault, barring speeding, impairment, or disregarded traffic controls/signs on the part of the driver who was on the road. Added: I concur. The vehicle operating in reverse must always yield to any other vehicle. The charge I am familiar with is "Backing Without Caution."
What if two cars are backing out of opposite places and hit each other: back right bumper and back left bumper on other vehicle collide. Is anyone at fault?
Yup. Both of you are at fault, and will most likely have to use your own insurance to repair your cars.
