Re: Parking lot vehicle accident
Thank you for your posting and inquiry.
The answer you seek depends on who is at fault. If you were at fault, which is not clear from your question, then you have to pay the value of the other party's damages, which is the cost to repair or the total value of the vehicle, whichever is less.
If you were not at fault, you do not have to pay anything.
