I was pulling out of a private driveway and was struck by a vehicle that was backing out of a driveway. fault?

Question

We both were entering a public roadway from private driveways opposite each other.

Answer 1

The easy answer is "No Fault". The more complicated answer has to do with point of impact on both your vehicles, and where in the road they met.

Answer 2

It will most likely depend on who can prove that they started to back out first.

Answer 3

Sometimes the fault must be shared - and so each pays for their own repair.

My friend was involved in an accident. Both drivers sued each other. I went to court (for moral support). The judge decided that the fault should be equally shared and that each pay for their own repair.

Good Luck...

Answer 4

Sounds like you were both at fault. Did you get a police report?
