In PA, i was parked, i got in my car, and the next thing, a UPS truck hit the driver side of my front bumper. I was not moving, the car was not even turned on.
I was noted on the police report as having the violation of "Stopped or Standing Vehicle" and was Driver #1. Though i was not given a citation, I was told i was at fault.
My car was parallel parked on a one way street. Because of a recent snow fall, i was parked in such a way that the front of the car was stickign out a bit. There was clearly enough room for people to get by, as no one had hit my car throughout the early part of the day as well as the night before.
Total damages were 437 dollars. My question is , do I sue the driver, personally, UPS, Inc. or the insurance company that represents the company?
My second question is.. do I even stand a chance? I totally believe I was not at fault, and according to a friend who works for insurance, there is a legal statue that claims commercial vehicles basically , never have the right of way.
Help! am a student and totally cannot afford it! ( it is less than my deductible)
