first of all how could you not "know" you hit it? Its better to be late then never.
The owner of the car that was wrongly parked still has the ability to sue. They should get the other driver's information and file a claim on their lawsuit.
You've crashed into an illegally parked car.... You can be sued...
they are both screwed
If the other vehicle was parked, there was no other driver to have license, insurance or registration. The driver who hit the parked vehicle is at fault and is liable for all damages to the parked vehicle.
If the information supplied on the discussion page is correct, then: Car "B" struck car "A" - (i.e.: If the parked car was parked/stopped/not in motion then the only logical conclusion can be that the the moving car struck it.)- - - - - - -how though that's what i want to know? we know he was parked before collision but don't know weather he was moving out at point of collisionAdd'l comment: "Parked" has a definite meaning (i.e.: stationary-unmoving - standing still). The information supplied on the discussion page NEVER included the possibility that Car "A" was possibly in motion. Not enough information is given to draw a conclusion, although the vehicle with the scratch ("B") was presumably in motion.Turn it over to the insurance companies and let the adjuster figure out what happened - or - if the damage was that slight, settle it between yourselves to avoid raising both your rates.
Fill out accident report with police. The person's insurance will pay for repairs.
if it there fault there insurance pays
As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
The potential energy will double too.
The person's who parked it there, (its parked illegally.)Not your fault.
Parked was created in 2011.
It would be the car who had parked illegally because he was not parked in a legal spot.
