Liability does not get any easier than when someone hits a parked and unoccupied vehicle. Well...the driver could have been drunk to boot but thats just way overkill.
Sorry to see this damage to your car. It'll get fixed easy. A bit of advice, don't park near any cars/ behind any cars when doing a shoot. I totally agree it's his fault but people are stupid!!!
If I understand correctly... he was parked in a regular parking space while you were in the lane and pulled up perpendicularly behind him to get out and take pictures of your car? Did the cop definitely say he was at fault and indicate that on the police report?
