All your answers are exactly spot on with regards my employee but also thought she must be also stupid to leave her car in road.I wouldnt pull out of my drive and get out leave my car in the middle of road and lock my gates either.

They are both at fault arent they?
The person leaving the car in the road so close to a junction, you have to stop at least a few metres away form any junction.
And your employee, for not being fully aware of her surroundings. She was in the moving vehicle.
Its 6 for one, half dozen the other. I personally would not bother with the insurance companies and each driver sort out their own damage, its not going to be huge with one car stationary and the other reversing. |

The person backing up is responsible. He/she has a duty to check for possible obstacles before backing up. |

Lets see, a reversing moving vehicle hits a stationery parked vehicle. Who is to blame? Hmmmmmmmmmm.
Is there some kind of a rule that says a moving vehicle can't move without making sure the way is clear? Seems to me there is... |

Your friend is at fault but this incident can easily be challenged so you could, if your have a good insurance company, pursue this as a non-fault accident but if a 50/50 decision is offered (i.e. your insurance company and theirs splits the cost of repairs), it would probably be best to accept it. |

The person backing has the greater duty. Also, the vehicle in the roadway was a stationary object. You have to think that if it wasn't a car-like another person mentioned it being a child-who would be at fault then? We tend to treat inanimate objects differently...but truly the argument is the same.
A good insurance company may argue that the driver who left the vehicle in the roadway shares negligence for leaving the vehicle unattended where it shouldn't be-but a good adjuster at the other carrier would deny it.
It doesn't matter what's in the road or whether it has the "right" to be there. The fact is that it was stationary, and the person in the moving vehicle has to drive with caution and be aware that at any time, anywhere, objects and other vehicles may be unexpectedly there. Tell him to look over his shoulder next time. |

It sounds like the van reversing is at fault, as they should be aware at all times. |

yeah, i would think hitting a stationary vehicle puts you at fault every time. |
