Hit by a Taxi Cab

Maine.
I was backing out of a parking spot at a grocery store. I had backed up no more than a few feet when a taxi cab ran into the back of my car. The side of his car dragged down my bumper. He was driving about double the posted 10mph speed limit and I was next to a stop sign so he should have been slowing down. Does his reckless speed count as negligence, and does it over-rule the general right of way rule that says I am at fault since I was backing up?
Thank you.

I always thought it was the person exiting the parking space who must use due diligence. So it would be the women's fault here.

No where here does the OP indicate that he/she is a woman.

LOL. In fact I am not a woman, but it is funny to note the stereotype.
