It all depends, it could be you as they will say its down to observation or the other driver as its priority to give way to reversing cars.

I'd say it was probably your fault as well to be honest. Sounds like you entered the path of oncoming traffic

Would be yours as your not supposed to enter the carriageway until it is clear to do so.

the thing is i am not sure about who is in the right. got witness saying it was her that was more in the wrong as she was on the wrong side of the road and going far to fast for the car park as it is a 5mph speed limit

Unless there was a witness who can say if he was i.e speeding then the insurers will look at it as you reversing without looking making it your fault. You can say you checked etc but then wha proof do you have really.

in a nutshell yeah, as unfortuneatly the right of way is of the person on the road between the spaces not those coming out of them

Her rear quarter got it? Obviously your fault then if she was already passing you and you continued to reverse and hit her
