Car Accident Liability: Who is to Blame?

Questioner

situation: my car just parked in the driveway at our house. My daughter (9) opens the door and at that moment another car drives into our street, against the traffic. It is a one-way street. Both the other party and I have damage. Who is to blame here? The other party says that my daughter can't just open the door. I say that he wasn't allowed to drive into the street from that side at all.

Lawyer

In principle, you are liable for the actions of your minor daughter, but the insurer will also include the actions of the other party as own fault in the liability issue. This may mean that there is shared liability.
