I need help determine whos at fault in this car accident.?

Question

Well I was going to wal-mart and I was in the parking lot looking for a parking spot. While I'm crossing parking lot, I spot a parking spot and I'm half way across the street and all of a sudden the car to the left where I would be parking next to starts going reverse. An the bak of her car starts turning my direction when so I tried to speed up faster to aviod her baking up into, but it was to late. She hit my car behind the bak rear tire.

So whos fault is it? Police said the insurance company would determine it.

Answer 1

Her fault, while in reverse you must be in complete control of your vehicle, that is the law..

Answer 2

I agree with the Police. Unless there was some criminal activity involved it is considered a private property accident and they don't get involved.

Answer 3

Probably hers because she was backing, but the correct thing to do would have been to wait.

Answer 4

Probably her because she was backing up.

Answer 5

i say her fault.

Answer 6

hmm I dont know...my state is a no fault state..so I never think about it! good luck!

Answer 7

It would be her fault because she should have been more careful when she was backing up.

Answer 8

if you got hit in the back its there fault.

Answer 9

It will be her fault because she was in reverse.  Therefore, you have the right of way.
