If YOU hit something that was standing still, it can only be YOUR fault .
Nonone If the car is legally parked and the door is being closed, it is the car that hit it's fault, or rather the person driving that car. If the door was being opened, it is the person opening the door.
The owner of the parked car is at fault if they open their door into traffic. Their insurance should pay for the damages to the driving car.
The driver/passenger opening the door is at fault. Look it up under the traffic laws in your state.
the person who parked the car
driver of parked vehicle
The person who opens the door.
The person's who parked it there, (its parked illegally.)Not your fault.
the person who opened the door
AnswerIf you were parked and you were exiting the vehicle (car not in motion), the other car is at fault. A parked car with door open or closed is still a parked car.AnswerThis MIGHT be a comparative negligence incident in which both of you may share fault. It depends on several factors: Was your door open all the way before the vehicle drove in? Did you open it the moment the car drove through? Was EITHER party paying attention?
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. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
You've crashed into an illegally parked car.... You can be sued...
Opening a door into traffic makes the door opener at fault. If the door is opened safely and some driver then runs into it, the moving driver is at fault.
