Who is liable for this bump?

[thewhybird]

Hi
A woman who is next door's cleaner parked slightly on my side of the shared drive towards the back of my car. As I reversed out keeping my steering wheel the same as when I drove in, I scraped her car. Whose insurance will have to pay out? Ok I should have looked but it would have been hard to spot as she was on my blind side but she hadn't bothered to park on the clearly marked run for cars and was over on my property. Would I have a hope of arguing this?
Cheers.

Almost certainly not. You were the moving vehicle and should have been aware of the parked cars presence and stopped. Just 'cos it was 'badly' parked doesn't exhonerate you. Sorry.

This is really a case of careless driving on your part unfortunately,
there is no real defence for hitting a parked car unless that vehicle is parked illegally or dangerously. Having said that
I suppose it could be worth getting the opinion of your insurance company on the grounds that the othe car was 'trespassing' by being partly on your property without permission, You could argue that you did not bother to look in your wing mirror on that side as there should not be anything there.
Worth a try?

Well I don't think saying that keeping your steering wheel at the same position coming out as going in will do you much favours saying that! Was the car there when you drove in? Why am I even bothering to ask that...

I'm sorry you had an accident, but it's your fault. sorry.

Not bothering to look because nothing should have been there is hardly a valid excuse,it could have been a child playing

Sorry old chap a parked car cannot be at fault regardless of how or where it's parked. You hit it. Same applies if it's parked across your drive, you hit it, still your fault.

My mother is also guilty of this - driving from memory - sadly just because "they weren't there last time", wont stand up in court.
