**** Erin,
In Michigan, fault is determined on a case-by-case basis. Here are some general guidelines:
- Drivers must ensure it's safe before backing up.
- Drivers should not speed in parking lots.
If you believe the other driver was at fault, gather evidence and contact your insurance company.
I understand but i tapped her
Even if you tapped her, Michigan's no-fault insurance law may apply. However, it's best to report the incident to your insurance company. They will assess the situation and guide you through the process.
Its been 4 years
I see. In Michigan, the statute of limitations for property damage is three years. This means you may not be able to pursue legal action if the incident occurred four years ago.
Right
Understood. Since it's been more than three years, it may be challenging to pursue this case legally due to the statute of limitations in Michigan. Please consult with a lawyer for more specific advice.
Ok
It seems like you have all the information you need. If you have any more legal questions in the future, feel free to reach out. Best of luck, Erin.
