Any vehicle that was not parked.
The driver of the backing vehicle. The fact that the car was parked illegally is irrelevant. The onus is always on the driver of a moving vehicle to ensure the way is clear before backing up.
Yes. Being illegally parked does not affect fault. If you strike a parked vehicle, it is ALWAYS your fault because you have a duty to ensure the way was clear before moving.
The driver of the car unless the other car was parked on the lawn. It's against the law to park a vehicle in your front yard.
AnswerIf you were parked and you were exiting the vehicle (car not in motion), the other car is at fault. A parked car with door open or closed is still a parked car.AnswerThis MIGHT be a comparative negligence incident in which both of you may share fault. It depends on several factors: Was your door open all the way before the vehicle drove in? Did you open it the moment the car drove through? Was EITHER party paying attention?
driver of parked vehicle
If the other vehicle was parked, there was no other driver to have license, insurance or registration. The driver who hit the parked vehicle is at fault and is liable for all damages to the parked vehicle.
As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
Aeroplanes
Vehicles should always be left in neutral when parked.
The driver that hit the parked vehicle would be at fault.
Such a vehicle is said to be parked.
