It will probably either be yours or 50/50. Your insurance company will make the final decision.

YIKES- when I see a super number of incorrect solutions i cant help yet placed my 2 cents in through fact i hate while human beings lie to human beings while they dont be conscious of what they're talking approximately. a million. I dont be conscious of the place human beings have been provided that parking zone injuries at the instant are not any ones fault and everybody has to pay their very own damages. Thats a ludicrous delusion. parking zone injuries get investigated like various different accident and a criminal accountability selection is made. 2. the different driving force isn't one hundred% at fault as somebody suggested. in reality, you would be maximum folk at fault if not one hundred% at fault. The othe driving force substitute into merely travelling in the path of the aisle and had no reason to assume somebody backing up out of nowhere in the parking zone. Now- in some circumstances which could have had time to take an evasive action (aka braking and honking) yet you're DEFINATELY the main negligent of the two. the reality that they have got been ingesting and had no info of coverage has not something to do with criminal accountability. those may be 2 criminal subjects that the law enforcement officials could safeguard.

Unfortunately, the correct answer is that you are primarily at fault, for not looking behind you as you were backing. Contact your insurance provider; I hope you have a police report detailing the accident. I'm not sure how California is on comparative liability, but you will likely be responsible for at least a certain percentage of the other driver's damages. Hope this info helped.

you would be because you were actually going the wrong way. Unless no one knows that you were reversing it is his word against yours. Because if someone rearends you it is following too close behind. But since you were reversing, (going the wrong way), you were supposed to take responsibility and be aware of your surroundings and stop if needed.

if you were actually on the street it sounds like you may be at fault, however the other driver should also be aware of vehicles ahead of him. if you were actually on the parking lot then you were on private property and not under jurisdiction of law enforcement, but isn't california a "no fault" insurance state?

Both of you, but one may be more at fault than the other.

You are completely at fault for backing up.
