POLL: Who should have to pay for this car accident?

Renter. If wind had knocked it down. Drivers fault. Driver hit anon moving

Unless the kids were actively moving it at the time (quickly), totally the

If you drive into a stationary object it's your fault 99.9% of the time

1/23/22 6:57pm

I can't even think of when 00.1% is accurate.

That 00.1% would be the time I forgot to move the trash cans and my wife hit

Maybe they should look where they’re going and not back into things…

Normally I'd agree but a lowered hoop could be very deceiving when backing up.

Insurance.

How about look where you're driving. No way I pay.

The renter. You are responsible for where you move your car.

Renter wasn’t paying attention. Nuff said

spugeddy24

Sounds like this contract isn't getting renewed at term

doctorcoug

Renter. And make him pay for the hoop too.

Ragnar Danneskjold

Renter needs to buy a new hoop

Remigius

From an equitable standpoint probably the landlord

Joysey

No way. When you drive a car it is your absolute and total responsibility to not hit stationary objects. Period.

Honestly I think it’s pretty incredulous the renter is even asking let alone

Don Carlton

It's Dishonest. I hate when people don't take responsibility for their mistakes.

ochobeeguy

Yup. Sounds like when we were looking for a new roommate, and my now ex roomie

Owner needs to make sure the hoop isn't in the way of the vehicles when

777

1/23/22 7:07pm

What’s the renter to do? Uh… put it back up or avoid it.

1/23/22 7:14pm

Maybe he can't. I'm assuming there are multiple cars if there are

777

1/23/22 7:18pm

If the kids can put it down, then an adult renter should be able to put it back

cougaman

1/23/22 7:23pm

Unless it takes a tool. So many assumptions here. It makes total sense to

Don’t hit stationary objects with your moving car

LaserCoug

You the renter?

1/23/22 7:49pm

No, the op said that the owner said that. Look, I have a tree that hangs over my

A tool like a simple broom handle?

cougaman

1/23/22 7:54pm

Exactly. He never saw it. And it makes sense to me why he didn't. All I'm

777

1/23/22 8:10pm

That is different from saying "maybe he can't". It was him not seeing it that

Buddy said they have a back up cam and that’s all he checks and wasn’t looking

modern tech working against him. That's too bad. Again, I could see myself

777

1/23/22 8:28pm

The renter is totally and completely liable. For obvious reasons. This isn't even a close call.

Did I say he wasn't? Can I not sympathize with the situation? Holy moly.

777

1/23/22 8:36pm

I think most of us can sympathize, and even the home owner admittedly

cougaman

It’s under contract that they aren’t responsible so sounds like legally the

A moving vehicle operator hit a stationary object and thinks it’s not his fault?

Sandstone Cougar

The tree jumped in front of the car

AFewThoughts

1/23/22 7:55pm

Have they only got liability on their vehicle? Have you got landlord insurance?

Joe

I would think vehicle insurance for the car, and homeowners insurance for the

I think it’s the driver’s fault, but a good landlord policy might pay. I think
