A truck hit my parked car and is now claiming it was parked illegally - what should I do?
My car was parked on a public road - there was no one in the car at the time. There was no signage or lines identifying parking restrictions. A large articulated truck hit my car causing damage. The driver admitted liability on the scene. However, he has since tried to declare that there was insufficient room for him and my car was parked illegally. Where do I stand in terms of liability?

It is his fault, simple as that, he is liable. "Res ipsa loquitar" - it is what it is. If there was insufficient room for him to manoeuvre, he should not have entered the route he did.
