i had my car parked on a 4 lane street CLEARLY VISIBLE and some lady rear ended my blazer, it was like one of 5 cars on the street. i was %10 liable by the state but her insurance will cover everything. dont listen to what that jackass said to you because he cannot come after by state law! he is liable because he was in the drivers seat and you were not, so he is %90 liable and you a messily %10, SO SLEEP EASY AND LET THE INSURANCE KILL HIS ASS!!!!:guns: :punch:

If it's on private property and the property owner did not complain about the parking, no ticket can be issued.

As far as at fault, that depends on how good your insurance company is. If you really want to be technical, you should be at fault for not parking correctly in the first place. Granted he should have watched for your car. But depending on where you were parked in vicinity to his vehicle, he may not have known it was there (the whole big SUV and small car thing). And depending on what kind of vehicle you parked behind as to whether or not he could actually see it (if it was a van parked along side of you). I agree he should've been watching where he was backing, but you were clearly also wrong for parking where you did.

Hope things work out, next time follow the lines and you won't have to worry about it.

He should be liable. I mean, what if he did it on purpose to try and get some cash from you. He hit you, not the other way around.

Did you file a police report? If you can back up you were not in the car then it is not a moving violation on your insurance. A good agent can clarify how they rate you if you supply details of the accident. Your insurance company will investigate the accident and determine fault for you. If no tickets were issued then the only way to raise your rates is claim history. I am an Insurance agent so I have seen cases like this come in before. Its all in what they can verify.

My car was hit while parked and its all coming out of the other dudes insurance, I dont have to pay a dime for anything, nor does it affect my insurance.

Park normally next time...

This is how it usually works if you report it when it happens and were not in the vehicle.
