    If I’m in my space, and that person can’t manoeuvre out of their space. That’s their fault. Not mine.

      So you’re intentially putting your car in a situation where it can be damaged, and you’ll admit that to your insurance so they can not pay out to you?

      They would ask why you parked there and not somewhere else. Taking the picture proofs your intent even….

      Insurance isn’t stupid they know these games and people do this stuff intentionally all the time, you’re not going to have an easy slam dunk victory. There’s plenty of precedent from people thinking it’s a smart idea before. Give your insurance clauses a read, there’s clauses about you not putting your vehicle in situations, doing everting you can to avoid a collision…

        Sometimes you don’t have a choice. Either park there or nowhere. Examples include, but are not limited to: designated parking spaces, or full parking lots.

          Once I see a picture of that scenario, I’ll believe it. As it stands now it’s coming across as the sort of thing a person makes up on the fly.

          In this picture, this truck is obviously parked in a place with an overabundance of parking.

        Insurance isn’t gonna pay out either way. In this situation they’d say they don’t have enough information to determine who is at fault and close the claim.
