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.
Well if you were backing in and hit someone then it is your fault. But if they hit you, then it is their fault.
The person backing out. If you were in the lane/road behind them they needed to use caution when backing out.
Whoever the police report charges with the accident.
You are at fault.
If they backed into you, it's their fault. Failure to yield.
It would be the person driving fault because it is like the same thing as driving and hitting someone.
Any time the driver who is backing is at fault, in all 50 states.
Backing up--it is your fault.
Depends on the jurisdiction, but typically, two vehicles backing up is a 50/50.
Same thing happened to me in CA & we were found to both be at fault....
If you strike him - you are at fault. He can be charged with the No Parking violation but YOU are charged with the collision.
anytime someone is backing out of a driveway or parking spot, they are at fault. The other driver will only be sited for speeding.
