Hi guys, so today was my first ever car accident though this was my first car, I wasn't expecting to crash this early. So I was parked on a main road and signalled to move off. I checked my blind spots first then the main roads on both side for any oncoming traffic. In my blind spot there is a road which cars can emerge from (a T-junction). From where I was parked, I can't actually see any oncoming cars on that road due to the trees that obstruct my view but I can see when a car is stopped there. So as it was safe to do so, I pulled my car out and BANG! I smashed right into a car that emerged from the T-junction (note: it is in close distance). I went into the side of his car on the front. He had a dent and the whole of my right front bumper and headlight was damaged so mine was significantly more damaged than his. At this point I was shaking like a leaf and he came out cussing me and called me crazy. I didn't call the police but my parents came out and handled the situation and I said nothing. We just took each others details. Am I in the wrong or would this be a 50/50?
