ONLY because the vehicle was legally parked. In MI, each party pays for the damage to its own vehicle, regardless of the cause, EXCEPT for parked cars.
yes, I know Mo. the statute reads thusly regarding liability to a parked car:
unless the vehicle is parked in a manner as not to cause unreasonable risk of the damage which occurred.
I had believed the statute did state "legally parked" but the above wuoted statute
500.3123 Exclusions from property protection insurance benefits
.seems to imply that the a parked vehicle, even if not legally parked but was not parked as noted above, would be covered as well. It might also place a legally parked car, if parking it in the legal position would cause it to fall under the above statement, would not be covered by the offending driver as well.
I doubt the latter has been utilized as such but I can imagine a few situations where it may be able to be considered.
Hhhmm, things to think about.
