The other person pays.
Generally speaking, the driver in motion is considered to be at fault when a parked car is hit, even if the car was parked illegally. The exception to this would be if the car was parked in a dangerous, hard-to-see location and the driver in motion could not have reasonably avoided hitting it. For example, if a car is parked on a sharp curve in the travel lane of a narrow road, and the driver of a car driving around the curve at the speed limit would not be able to see the parked car until too close to it to avoid a collision, then the driver might not be liable for damage to the parked car, and indeed the driver who parked the car might be liable for damage to the car that hit it.
depends on whether or not the car is parked well. if the car is parked properly, in the right spot then it should be the car that hit it that is at fault.
You do.
Usually it's whoever caused the crash. If somebody hit your car into the parked car, the person that hit you is at fault. Your auto insurance company would be the best help with this. You will certainly need a police report and case number to pursue the case.
If a car is parked (so it wasnt moving, standing still), the other car is in fault.
AnswerAs long as your vehicle was parked legally and you were able to obtain the other vehicle's insurance info, the driver of the other vehicle's insurance co. is resposible for all your damages.
Usually it's the company of the car that hit the parked car regardless of location.
The car with coverage appears to be at fault and would therefore be liable to pay for the damage.
your car is parked unless you have someway or another had the car in drive while you weren't in it then how can you pay for damages you did not incur and if you weren't parked in a no parking zone or a handicap spot then the person who hit you is responsible for all damages because they weren't paying any attention
Yours, because the question is ... even though that car was illegally parked, what type of driving were you doing that caused you to hit it? No fault only applies to injuries. Property damage is the responsibility of the at fault driver.
If it was leagally parked, you should be asking what are your obligations if you hit a parked car. Your responsibilities are to pay the cost of fixing the Property of the person who's car you hit. Man up and do the right thing.
