Yes they can. Whether they were illegally parked or not, the point is, you hit them therefore you are still at fault.

Many adjusters will take the placement that your's has as a million) that's extra handy then spending time arguing negligence against the different occasion and/or 2) they have not got sufficient experience to be responsive to that an illegally parked automobile _could_ have some criminal duty placed against it. Your state rules extremely come into play yet baring that, if it is shown that the operator of the different automobile knowingly (could have oftentimes used) that they have got been putting their automobile in a risky region, then they might have some criminal duty. oftentimes aspects are marked as "no parking'. they're marked for a reason... becuase that's risky to park in those aspects. As such, if a individual nevertheless parks there, they're _assuming some risk_. as reported above, this criminal duty is surprisingly low, reckoning on the region. BTW- Ask your adjuster _what_ regulation makes a shifting automobile a hundred% to blame in an accident. additionally, ask how this "regulation" over-rides contributory/comparative negligence. you will possibly might desire to talk to a supervisor. finally it is your vendors option to pay a hundred% of the declare or no longer. this does not bar you from attempting to convey mutually a small area of your loss from the different individual's service.

This one is probably your "bag", but it depends on what your local and state laws are, sometimes, you are not liable (because he was violating the law also), so he can't collect any insurance money from you, - but also you can't collect damages on your car either! And this would also depend on where and how it was parked among other things. But the normal rule of thumb, is that it is your responsibility to avoid "hitting other things", - if yours is the only vehicle moving at the time! The "parked vehicle" has no way of getting out of your way!!

Even if they shouldn't park there you have the duty to look where you are going. If it can be shown that they were advised not to park there because of the risk of being hit you might have some way out.

Sorry, but being parked illegally doesn't make it open season to run into parked cars with impunity. I mean, the car wasn't moving, it was just sitting there, and you ran into it? Unless you can prove it was made invisible by Harry Potter's cape, it is your fault, and they can claim against your insurance.

Have you had a vision test lately? Or were you just plain not paying attention to your surroundings? If you couldn't see a car, a huge block of metal and glass, just sitting there, you wouldn't have seen a child.

Two wrongs do not make a right, therefore you are responsible for hitting the car witch (which) but the owners might think twice about parking there again

They may not be legally allowed to park there, but that is irrelevant.

The fact is that you hit the car, and therefore were not paying considerable attention to the way you were driving.

This is regarded as having no consideration for other road users.

Hitting a parked car automatically puts you at fault.

How do you hit an object that isnt moving? Especially since you knew people were parking there?

The law is pretty plain, and does not say "It is against the law to hit a parked car, unless of course they have been asked not to park there."

If you hit a parked car, you are responsible for any damages you caused.

Most towns have an ordinance against children playing in the road, but you can't hit them either.

So thats the gist of your other question regarding insurance for an illegally parked vehicle.
If you hit it, whether parked illegally or not , it`s your fault. Whether there is a payout from either insurance company is down to them.They will try to wriggle out of it.
