It happened in a school parking lot, I was backing out my car with my child inside, While backing I also saw noone else backing, but when my car was almost out, I saw the car behind me backing out, I honked once to alert him, but he just came straight and hit my car in the rear side near the wheel and the side of the gas tank area in a Hyundai Sonata. His car did not have any damages to it. Since he agreed on the spot, I did not file a police report for this accident.The person ageed to his mistake on the spot, exchanged all insurance details. But the next day he told his insurance that it's not his fault, and the insurance did not pay us, as there was no direct evidence. At this stage, I feel cheated , what could be done? How can I find justice in the state of Virginia? If anyone out there can suggest or advice on this, I'd really appreciate any help on this.

Unfortantly, accidents in a parking lot are hard to determine fault. the best thing if your vehicle needs repair have your insurance co take care of the damage if you have the coverage to do so (collision or uninsured coverage). expailn to your company what happen and give them the other drivers information and ins info. allow them to subrogate the claim.

ALWAYS file a police report. Period.
You just got s%%%%d!
Even if the police don't come, you cal still say "I calledthe police, but they didnot come to investigate. " The police wll have a record that you called.
Don't blame the state, blame yourself.
