    Default Re: Vehicle Damaged by Hard-To-See Cable/Stake in Parking Space - Who is Responsible

    Not to be obvious here, but I doubt the cable moved out and struck your car. That means you failed to see an obstruction/fixed object and hit it. It is on you buddy.

    I disagree… the stake (which is what caused the damaged), was not easily visible from the road unless you already knew it was there or were actively looking for it. After the accident, I went back to the road to see the visibility of the stake, and it was not visible unless you squinted and were looking closely for it (mainly due to the fact it is low to the ground, and is a cement color).

    Not even 10 minutes after my accident another person hit this same stake and suffered damage to the front of her vehicle.

    Also when the police officer wrote up accident reports for both of us he indicated this has happened several times previously to other vehicles, by hitting the stake/cable in this same parking space.
