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.- Hide quoted text -

Holy frekin ****!!! I just remembered where I met this guy before..
It
was about two months ago, he actually bumped the back of my wifes car
at a stop light. The bitch of the whole thing is I had a tiny scratch
but told him to go ahead and forget about it.. I gave the guy a
break.
He said he didn't see my brake lights that time, apparently the guy
doesn't watch where he is going.. If you saw him you would know. He
has a custom plate, the obligatory tuff guy stickers on his rear
window, a huge washed up wananna be jock.. Just can't beleive he is
driving around like that, wonder how many others have given him a
break. This guy is the stereotypical ashole.. man, can't believe I
let
him off and now he is trying to screw me.... I am sooooo ****ed...
