Q: I rolled into a car that was illegally parked behind me. Who's at fault?
I was parked in the driveway and the tenant parked behind me illegally she was on the street blocking the driveway my foot rolled off the break and I roll backwards and bumped the car who is at fault if she never would have parked crossways blocking the driveway illegally I never would have bumped her
A:
A Michigan attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, a car leaving the driveway would have the brunt of the fault. In discussing the matter with your insurance carrier, you could raise the argument you make here. Good luck
