Auto Insurance Claims: Should I fight the claim, parking zone, stationary objects


Question
I hit a car recently that was parked along a street in a clearly marked no parking zone. I gave the person my insurance information but am unsure how to proceed. Does the liability fall on me even though they were in a no parking zone?

Answer
Hi Logan,

Unfortunately you are responsible. Even though the other car was illegally parked, it was a stationary object. It is considered to be your responsibility to not hit stationary objects even if they should not be there. Sorry.

I hope this helps
