Reply to comment by cyriouslyslick in Plow truck hit me and plowed me off the road in Manchester NH and it’s the plows fault and the police report says so, but some lady in an office sent me a letter and said it’s 51% my fault and they’ll pay nothing, my 2016 Ford Fusion is destroyed and I’m in debt.

Insurance always split fault 50/50 for parking lot accidents.

You don't even have to be in your car when it happens. But if you're not present when the accident happens, good luck finding whoever hit you.

This is the value of dash cams, but neither of the incidents being referenced happened in a parking lot. Context matters.

Further down this branch of replies to your post mentioned a parking lot accident.

I use an old phone with a dash cam app to record my commutes. I wanted to get an actual dashcam but was having trouble picking one that did everything I wanted. Since I had an old android phone collecting dust I figured I'd install a dashboard cam app and use that while I shopped around for an actual dashcam. That was two years ago, lol. The old phone with the dashcam app does everything I want so I haven't bothered replacing it.

Does that include running while the car is off? I have a front/rear dash cam but it's only on when the car is on, so it missed it when my parked car was side-swiped and the other guy drove off.

The settings have multiple options. You can have it record when it detects power and shut off when the power shuts off or manually by pressing a record or stop button, or always recording. The app is called Droid Dashcam. It is full of options. It's very stable. There's too many options for me to list so here's a link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.helge.droiddashcam
