Hey Sojoe,
 Sorry to say it, but you are at fault. Whether he is in your driveway or not, you are responsible for looking out where you are going. His insurance infro is irrelevelant. Your company is going to pay. You hit a parked car. You are at fault.

You give the person your insurance information. You can also remind the person that the law states that there needs to be an _exchange- of insurance information. That is, it's not up to him not to make a liability determination and not give it out because he does not feel at fault.
You then report the loss to your carrier as most likely you will be held 100% at fault. There is a slight chance that your carrier may feel that the other person is 1% at fault and that this _might_ bar a any claim from the other person. |

It should be like that...since the OP has mentioned that the other person's car hasn't suffered any damage it is less likely that he should file a claim if he's a clever person. What do you think!

Yep..( I regret to say this, too). I know in the state of PA, if you hit a parked car, it's AUTOMATICALLY your fault. I don't know about other states, however. I had an experience like this...I was at work and my 'Client's' husband hit my (parked) car, while he was backing out of his drive way. He said the car was brand new and he din't want to report it. SO,..we 'settled' this out of court ( kind of thing). |

here you are admitting that you have made a mistake, but you can't profoundly say that it is his (car owner) mistake. he is nowhere in the picture (except his car was in your driveway), I find a meager chances of you getting a claim for this.  |

| Please correct me if I'm wrong, but,..if the accident was YOUR fault ( backing into someone), I don't think the owner of the car you hit is obligated to give you HIS Insurance information. Just an opinion...however. |

| thanks for the advice..i called the police dept..NJ town>>and they told me that if the person wants your insurance info to have him call for the police to come to the scene and fill out an accident report , where both parties exchange information ..that way, the insurance adjusters can set up an appt for an estimate of damages that is fair to both of us |

The law states that you _exchange_ insurance information. If I rear end your stopped vehicle _I_ may not think I'm liable so I don't need to give you my insurance information? If that were the case, no one would ever give it out and they would simply walk away from any/all accidents. This is way its required to exchange no matter what. It's not up to the driver to determine liability. |

The only downside to this would be if the officer issued a citation. I'm hoping that does not happen and if it does not, I'd commend the police for doing a great job. With the police there, they keep people a little more honest. |

Well, what I've heard that in some states filing a police report isn't necessary if the accident has taken place in a private driveway and no one is seriously injured in it. Also there is a financial limit, I guess of $700, below which you are not required to file a police report.
