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?

You may have been illegally parked, but he was the only vehicle in motion.

Beats me.

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.

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...

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.
