Yes, this accident (like ANY) should be reported as soon as possible. Having police attend the scene often ensures that the stories are correctly told, and fault-determination is somewhat easier for the insurance company to determine. The unfortunate thing is that most parking lot accidents involving two parties usually comes down to a 50/50 fault determination. It is important to collect any eye-witness information, security camera footage, or statements from the other party in order to prove your case. As for reporting the accident once you have left the scene, yes, you may do so when you get home. Most States and Provinces have accident reporting centres for you to attend with your vehicle in the case that it is still drivable and you are not injured.

Are parking lot accidents fifty fifty?

That's a pretty general question and laws vary from state to state, but in Florida (and I believe in general), any accident that occurs in a parking lot follows the same guidelines as any other accident. A person can be cited or found at fault for improper backing or any other offense in a parking lot. Usually, the fact that an accident occurred in a parking lot is only important in determining agency jurisdiction. In many states the police will not come to an accident that occurs in a private parking lot unless there are injuries. It is very important to secure witnesses that were not in either car to help make your case. In the event where two cars back into each other often times the person who is farthest out when the collision occurs is not at fault. Almost always a person who backs into a vehicle that is traveling down the isle is at fault.


What is the average number of car accidents a person is involved in their lifetime?

That depends on what you mean by a car accident. If you are talking about a car crash it would be about 0.3 on average. Most people are never involved in an auto crash with two moving vehicles in their life. If you are talking about tapping someones bumper while parallel parking or backing out of a spot, maybe your car door opens and nicks the paint on an adjacent vehicle, then it would average about 3.

Who is at fault when a person is pulling out of a parking spot and going slowly using caution and a car traveling the parking lot collide?

A vehicle traveling in a parking lot has established use of the lane and the right of way. A vehicle in a parking space and backing into the lane must yield to oncoming traffic. Therefore, if a vehicle is backing out of a parking space and pulls into the path of an oncoming vehicle that has already established the lane, the vehicle backing would be at fault for the accident. However, if the vehicle which established use of the lane had an opportunity to avoid hitting the vehicle backing out of the space and failed to do so, there could be comparative negligence on both vehicles or on the one who had the opportunity to avoid the accident.
