What is the extent of liability for a person whose rear bumper is struck by another car while in the act of beginning to back out of a parking spot?

Was the other vehicle backing as well? If so maybe 50/50. Were you the only one backing and other vehicle traveling down lane? If so 100% on you. Generally, the person backing must use a higher degree of care. Really not enough details to give you a good answer, please supply more and perhaps I can be of more assistance.
