My son was recently backed into froma person backing out of parking stall...My son was not moving at the time obvious from the damage and paint transfer... The person who hit him says that he cut in back of him while he was already backing out and thus it was my sons fault and they won't pay.
Is there a standard that can be applied here as to who has the right of way, who should yeild etc.... Thank you in advance

  • Usually the vehicle that is in the main lane of travel has the right of way and any vehicle that is backing out of a spot has a duty to yield the right of way.
    File a claim with the other guys insurance company and also file a claim with your insurance company so they can assist you.
