It will probably depend on who was backing out first.
The first one backing should have the right of way.
Also the driving laws don't officially apply in private parking lots.
The insurance companies will look at the collision based on driving laws though.
Liable for what? A parking ticket? Not if it isn't your car.
Yes. You are responsible for parking your vehicle in a way that damage will not be caused to another's vehicle. So say you park on a hill and the vehicle rolls back and hits another vehicle, you are liable.
If there door was already open then you are liable for the damage. It does not matter if it is on private property.
The driver and the owner is liable.
Same as if your not parallel parking. Whoever it was that hit the other car is liable for the damages and repairs.
The comprehensive coverage on your vehicle would cover the damage. In most cases no one is liable for any storm damage. The (seldom) exception would be if you left your vehicle for repairs (let's say) and the shop did not use due diligence to protect your property. And even then it would be a rare occurance when the shops policy would cover 'a act of God'.........
Assuming the parking lot was open, and the car had every right to be parked there. The owner of the snowplow, and possibly the operator of it would be liable for damages to the parked car.
No.
No, an insurance company does not get notified of a parking tickets. Insurance companies are only liable for handling accidents.
NO
yes you are correct. the person backing up is responsible for making sure the area behind their vehicle is clear.
The driver in the end should be responsible.
