Who's fault is it?

Question

Recently, I was in a minor car accident. I was backing out of a parking stall, so was the guy behind me at the same time. We ended up hitting eachother's back bumpers. There was no damage done to mine, but some to his. He didn't take down any witnesses, nor did I. Who's fault would ICBC maybe see it as?

Answer 1

both of urs

Answer 2

ICBC would see this as being 50% at-fault for each driver. Both your rates would increase.

Answer 3

I would guess your insurance will do a 50/50 split on damages ...example - $0 damage to your car and $500 to theirs- you each pay $250

Answer 4

most likely 50-50

Answer 5

Neither, and its far too late for it to be put as yours, if he claims to his insurance that it was yours, you deny it.. if at the scene of an accident and noone accepts liability, the police should be phoned, and though they werent, no witnesses etc.. there is no leg to stand on

dont worry about it

Answer 6

this is both your fault.In NY there is a no fault law insurance so it really doesn't mater who's fault it is once you call the  it will go up.I think it takes 7 years for you record to get clean.

Answer 7

There is no way of proving who was at fault in this situation so I wouldn't worry about it. Like the other person said.. if he claims it was you... deny deny deny.

It usually depends on who backed out first. But even that is questionable.. because some people speed out of the parking space and the other would have no time to react. Seriously though. I wouldn't worry about it. Its one of those situations that would be hard to determine responsibility unless there were witnesses to prove one of you was driving in an irresponsible manner.

Good luck.
