I had a minor accident at a mall parking lot in Illinois. The other driver backed into my car hitting the side and causing minor damage to the car body. The police told me they are considering the other driver at fault and putting him under "Unit 1" in the report.
Later on, I read the forums and found that parking lot accidents are considered 50/50 fault by insurance companies. Would that be true even though the police found the other person at fault? Can you please advise. I'm trying to determine if I should go through my insurance company, as it appears to be minor body damage to the car.
Thanks!
