If it happened in the parking lot then chances are good that even though driver B is technically at fault, both people will be ruled "at-fault" 50% or thereabouts and A and B or their respective insurance companies will pay for their damages. If it wasn't on private property, i.e. not a parking lot, but a street that is adjoins the complex, then B's at fault and B or their insurance gets to pay for everything. But if you're in a no-fault state then the rules are really weird and even when you're not at fault, your insurance company still pays if the damages are below a certain amount (like $2500). Isn't FL a no-fault state? Or they were thinking of getting rid of it, and decided not to maybe? I can't keep up with FL's insurance rules and thankfully I don't have to follow them religiously anymore.
Good thing no one was hurt smiley21! And I'm glad that the other driver is willing to pay for the damages.
