I was halfway in the spot and my rear bumper bumped into her drivers side front fender. Who's at fault in this situation ?

The other driver crossed a solid double yellow line to complete the u-turn. This incident occured in Richmond, BC, Canada.

Hers, she shouldn't hae tried to get that spot. She knew you were going for it in this situation and she tried to do a u-ee. She also should have been watching for you. She was probably a multi tasker. You shouldn't do a u-ee in a non u-ee area anyway.
-ouch, I'm sorry that happened.
I would be really upset tight if that happened to me.

ok, undemanding and easy, this is what you do. you will get as near to the barrel (or cones) as conceivable without bumping them with any component to your vehicle. in case you're driving a usually happening vehicle for the examination, pull up until the barrel or cone closest to the hollow of the parking spot lines up which contain your rear wheel. that's amazingly person-friendly to verify the place the rear tire is in *maximum* autos and SUV's, seek for the rear quarter window (the final window on the area basically at the back of the final passenger door, often would not open) and basically under that window is the wheel. once you're driving a %.-up truck, take any covers away from mattress if there is one put in, and seek for the wheel properly interior the mattress, it's going to bulge into the mattress from the area. in case you force a brilliant, long Suburban or Escalade or something like that, a stable thought ought to be to charm to somewhat smiley face on the window, straight away over the wheel, utilising cleansing soap paint. it's going to bathe precise off without leaving any marks. this is going to likely be danger free to the instructor. be effective to apply your turn alerts and stop halfway by way of your maneuver. the instructor *will* be checking for that, and in case you decide on prepare, maximum DMV's won't care in case you return by utilising after hours or on days they are actually not open to prepare with their cones.

Granted U-turns are not illegal in every state and municipality, it would still be her fault. First off, she technically struck your car; secondly, one would assume that while watching for vehicles that are traveling on the road, she'd spot your car as well. From what I can gather from your description, there was not nearly enough room to perform the u-turn safely, and the other driver was negligent in ensuring the safe completion of the maneuver. Had she sounded the horn as she turned her car around, that may have afforded time for both parties to stop and yield.
In short.... definitely NOT your fault!!!!! Hope this helps and I'd be quite upset myself!

There are several things that must be taken into consideration. 1st since U-Turns are NOT illegal in all states what state did this happen in. 2nd who dominated most of the parking spot at the point of impact.
I would guess with the minimal amount of information we have to work with I am going to go with the person making the U-Turn was wrong. Mainly because he/she should have completed one thing successfully before attemping another.

Given your definition of the accident - she would be found responsible for damages. A person who is performing a legal u-turn still has the responsibilty to insure the path of travel is clear and safe.
Your accident was the result of her failure to insure she had a clear path of travel, and your movement, a parallel park, was legal.
She would be ticketed.

It seems you were backing into the spot and bumped into her fender. It's difficult to tell, although perhaps she could have avoided the collision too.

If she's turning she has to watch out for you. She probably shouldn't have been doing a u-turn in the first place.

It would really help if you explained more of how this happened if you would like to get more helpful answers.
