Took the Chevy Blazer and the flatbed trailer 4X8 to the post office
today. No place to park so I stuck it in a spot and the trailer was
hanging out in the lane and ran inside the post office. A guy in a new
truck backs out af an adjacent spot and hits my trailer, now he want
to sue me for damage to his truck. Am I liable or is he responsible?
Any Ideas?

If it went to court, you might be ruled "partially" liable. He failed
to see that the movement could be made in safety and probably needs to
learn how to use those new mirrors.

If it goes to small claims, without pictures and witnesses, I doubt
anything would be decided.

He's a putz...... since he was the only vehicle in motion, I'd tell
him to sue me.....

Probably his fault. Friend backing out of a parking space and guy hits him.
It is the fault of the guy backing out of the space according to the police
and the insurance company.
