Collision with stationary vehicle incorrectly parked
I was negotiating a corner in a school car park and a vehicle had parked on the turn completely outside the marked car spaces making it difficult to turn the corner and I grazed the bumper of his completely stationary car. I went back and checked having parked and gave the owner my details. Am I liable even though he was blocking the turn?
Yes, unfortunately it would seem that you will be held 100% liable, as
the vehicle was there to be seen and you hit it. There might be some
very slight element of contributory negligence on the other driver's
part but in a minor claim, almost certainly your insurers will want to
pay the third party claim in full as soon as possible.
