If I back into someone, will I always be found at fault?
If two cars back into each other, who is at fault? I was driving around in a parking lot the other day. I went to back up and accidentally hit someone's car. I was looking in my rearview mirror the whole time and couldn't see a thing.

“Parking lot
accidents
happen all the time just for that reason: they are busy and easy to get turned around in. If you were backing up and hit another vehicle, most likely, you will be found at-fault for the accident.
If there was an eye witness or camera footage showing that the other driver wasn’t paying attention, then there is a chance you would not be at-fault.
When you
file a claim
, explain what happened to your insurance company; they will walk you through the next steps.View full answer
