Do i have any luck of winning?

Answer 1

Nope.

You failed miserably.

Since you are backing up, that means you are pulling into potential traffic. Which means you must yield right of way.  It doesn't matter whether you were mostly in the road or not.  Which means, you caused the accident.

It's that simple.

Also, it's "my car," not "ma car." It's still spelled "my" even if you can't pronounce it properly.
