    Default Accident While Reversing My Car

    Okay so basically i was going on reverse and backing out of a lane. I checked behind me, to the right of me, and to my left and i did not see any cars coming. But when i started backing out, a car drove up behind me and the next thing i knew, i backed up into her left side.

    I noted that my speed was only approximately 2 mph.
    Right now im trying to figure out if i am totally at fault. Because she was obviously unaware that i was there. So i was wondering what are my chances of winning?

    so, did you quit checking after your initial look. You must continue to make sure you are still clear to back up.

    .based on what will follow, I am betting you are glad you were only going 2 mph.

    yes

    Because she was obviously unaware that i was there.
    It's obvious you were unaware of her as well and since you hit her, you are the one that needed to be aware of your surroundings.

    So i was wondering what are my chances of winning?
    somewhere near 0 or less.

    Since you backed into her, yes, it's your fault.
