Who is a fault when someone hit your car at no parking zone?

spartanlim asked:

I got rear end by another car due to bad weather. I parked in a no parking zone in front of my building to go pick up my pregnant wife and escorted her to our car. As we were about to leave, the car got stuck in the icy street. I saw several cars from my rearview mirror and decided to wait for them to pass. Two cars passed and the third car reared end me. Big scratch and tiny bump. I was told that even though I parked my car in the no parking zone, whoever hit you from behind is always at fault. Q1: Is this true? Q2: How will car insurance debate this scenario? Thank you

In all likelihood, the vehicle that hit your car is fully at fault.

Even though you were illegally parked, the driver of the other vehicle struck a stationary object. They are at fault.
