You're at fault because you hit a stationary object. So if a car broke down and stopped in the middle of the road, you think that you should be allowed to plow into the back of it with no repercussions? You have a responsibility to drive at a safe speed which allows you to stop and avoid object and debris in the road, whether that is a person, a deer, or an illegally parked car.

Because you are not supposed to out drive your headlights when it's dark.

Because you are supposed to be aware of hazards in the road. You are responsible for avoiding a non-moving object.

Because it was a stationary object that you should have seen and avoided. All sorts of things are where they shouldn't be on the road - cars, animals, bikes, children, debris - and it is the driver's responsibility to be alert for and avoid them. Which isn't to say the illegal parker may not share some responsibility, but I agree with the insurance company.

By the same logic, if you aren't made to pay for this, what's to stop you from hitting stationary objects in the future?

So if I leave my cell phone or computer or something in the middle of the road and someone runs over it is am allowed for file a claim and get it replaced because they hit a stationary object?

No. You placed it in there.

Literally nothing matters other than the fact that you hit a stationary object. Congrats, you're at fault. We didn't decide the very sensible laws, stop yelling at us for telling you what's going to happen. Would you rather be surprised?

I'm surprised you weren't ticketed [careless driving, too fast for conditions, failure to exercise due care ...]

IANAL, I work in insurance but not property insurance. I think that you would be at fault for your damage, and likely the other driver would be at fault for their own for being illegally parked. Though in fact her insurance might even refuse to pay a claim on hers, and yours might as well.

The reason I made this thread is because my insurance says they are going to pay for hers at a reduced cost. This will probably increase my rates as a result. I would be fine if they came to that conclusion and I didn't pay for her car. However I feel like this is worse for me. I do not know all the legal details and I wish I did and how the rates would be affected.

Your insurance rates are increasing because you are an unsafe driver and likely to cost your insurance company more money.
