So who would be at fault? Person who hits is ya. But isn't there a law where you need to park in between the lines?

Here's the deal my wife hit a van that was parked on the yellow line in a parking lot. We took pictures of the situation. Showed our insurance company so the van parked on the yellow line would be "comparative negligence"? Since the van was parked improperly. My wife wouldn't have hit the van if she had the room to park. Which the van did give the room to park. They (the van) was parked so close to the yellow line on their driver side our passenger side barely hit, scratched the van. Maybe like a paint job of $200 it would take to fix what my wife did to the van.

Sorry to say, your wife is at fault. She hit a van that was not moving.

Your wife hit a stationary object while parking. Her fault alone as I see it.

Sorry, in my opinion your wife is liable here. She hit a fixed object and there really is no defense. Have your insurance carrier handle this minor claim.
