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?

In a parking lot??
Believe I heard around here it's 50/50 split.


Where I come from, you hit a stationary object while you are driving, your
fault.


When the guy fell asleep in the rental car and hit my parked truck in the
parking lot, was 100% his fault. What was amazing, was the body shop's
estimate was about what my truck was worth. Bent the bumper and the fender
mount so the tailgate was misaligned to the fender. $2200.
