Not quite....you are liable for any damage YOUR car causes...
So a TWOC'r hits my parked car up the jacksie at 70mph, which then causes my car to go through the neighbours front room and end up kiling them....and I'm responsible because I didn't put the handbrake on?
Get f**king real
Liability ends up with the schmuck who wasn't paying attention in my world.
Ultimate liability yes but, the insurance companies are known to go knock for knock on the costs of such incidents
They like to try it on for sure, but if you're in the right then you need to stand up for youself and not take any crap.
Insurance will do anything to get out of paying out...
YOU didnt apply parking brake, as taught no driving test, and likely demanded in car's handbook.
Yes its the bloke who hit's you car's fault, but they turn round and say if your handbrake was on, your car wouldnt have gone so far, and Joe would still be alive.
Tenuous I know, and agree, but also possible.
Same on motorway pileups, if you dont leave enough stopping distance, then someone goes up the back of you, you hit car in front. they claim off your insurance, who try and claim it back and so on.
'In your World' - It aint that one that counts
