I agree it was my fault but i'm trying to see if the person will pay half of the damage because he was illegally parked.

if they were stationary and you backed into them, you are 100% responsible. |

No fault insurance and 2 wrongs don't make a right.Why would someone pay half the damage for your negligence?Parking or driving legal/illegal you just don't hit cars without being fully responsible.You caused it to happen by your driving,they didn't by theirs. |

How about if it was a person rather than a car. You didn't look or properly judge your position. It is your fault. 100% |

It doesn't matter where the other car was parked. You hit a stationary object and are 100% at fault. If you asked me to pay half, I'd tell you to go pound sand. You should watch what you're doing. |

its YOUR fault 100%. Two different problems and proceedings. The police should fine that person for being illegally parked, HOWEVER since it was stationary, it was your fault for the wreck. |

It makes Absolutely no difference that the other vehicle was parked illegally. Damages caused by your improper backing are your responsibility. Even if the other party gets a ticket for illegal parking, it does not and will not relieve you of liability as far as insurance is concerned . |

He has no obligation to do that.
It doesn't matter HOW illegally he parked. 100% of the fault is yours.
Sorry. |

Doesn't matter one wit. NOTHING excuses you for crashing into another car.
Your fault, 100%. |

a tip for the future.
if you ever get into a moving car accident...
NEVER claim responsibility.
theres a chance your insurance is better than theirs, and you can have them BS through it somehow.
it all depends on who has the better lawyer, no??
i mean... look at OJ, for that matter.
Mega LOL to that. |
