50 % liable for someone backing into me

by Nanette
(Brooklyn, NY, USA)

As I was pulling out of a parking lot in Brooklyn onto a one way street a driver in a mini van started reversing in the wrong direction down the block.

I laid on my horn but he didn't stop but hit the front end of my car. We have the same insurance company who says I am 50% at fault.

I don't believe this is correct since I was not moving and he was traveling the wrong way down a one way. Is this correct?
