Hello, I'm new to this forum...I have a question regarding who is at fault in my particular case. Any sound legal help would be appreciated. Thanks in adavance. Here is the situation:
I went to an auto repair shop and I parked in front of the office entrance since there were no parking spaces available at the time. Came back out and got into my car and started the car that's when a mechanic was backing out a car and hit my driver side door. Insurance was filed and damage was appraised, the claim handler told me that it would be a 50/50 split. They accused me of parking in a no parking zone, which I said that I was unaware of it. Am I at fault in this situation? I was inside my car when the accident happened, so does that still count as parking in the no parking zone? What should I do now?
