Just been involved in a crash. GF was driving (I'm laying across back seats as I cannot bend my leg yet) and pulls into our cul de sac. She pulls round to reverse into a space (bays at the end of the cul de sac). She stays stopped in the road as she needs to get me out of the car before reserving in because I can't get out of the car in a tight space.
In the mean time someone has reversed off his drive without properly looking and gone into the passenger side front arch and door.
Sorry about the terrible paint skillz:

Blue car is us, arrow is our entry and the blue x is where she would have reversed into. Black squares are cars parked in the other bays and red lines are different drives and his car. Red arrow shows his line of movement. As I'm laying across the back seats I see perfectly that he just didn't see us, we had been stationary for a good 10 seconds and he moves slowly (5-10mph) into us.
He stops and gets out, most of the attention is on me as it's jarred my dodgy knee and I'm in a lot of pain (it's gone away mostly now though - still hurting a bit as my leg needs to be kept 100% straight and was right up against that side of the car). We didn't get insurance details as I was in pain, GF was shaken up and crying and he was clearly going out. He agrees to come round and see us when he gets back in while I calm the GF down.
Just want to check this should surely go our way? We were stationary on a public road and he has reversed off his private driveway and gone into us.
The back of his car (11 plate Skoda Octavia) has a few mark but our car (54 plate VW Polo) has taken most of the damage, door is no longer sealed and you can put a finger through the gap. Doesn't shut properly and wing mirror has been shunted closed and won't open.
Few images of the damage, car has 104k so probably only worth £1.5k-£2k and she still owes £1k on it. GF has told her insurance company but hasn't opened a claim, waiting for the other driver to come home and see what he says.
