Can I sue a office building parking lot if I am not at fault?

I was backing into a parking space in a office building and I did not notice their was one of those wall mounted storage spaces and the top of my car went under it and the top of my car has 4 deeps scratches.... can I get them to pay for these damages? I am in California. Thank you

There is no signs ssaying you cant back into spaces .... 2nd That was a parking spot ment for cars to park. Would my insurance take care of it Geico....

No you can't sue. What are you going to sue for? The fact you were inattentive while backing and struck a fixed object? That's like asking if you can sue the city b/c you hit a tree you didn't see. If anything the building owners can sue you for any damage you may have caused their structure.

no they have signs all over the place just for that reason

So.. let me get this straight... you backed into a fixed object.. that was there to be seen.... and you want the building that owned the parking lot to pay for it?

Yep.. good luck with that buddy. If you couldnt tell through my sarcasm... there is NO WAY you will win this.

P.S... there doesnt have to be a sign... its common sense. You dont back into a space that has something too low for your car.

And yes, geico will pay for your damages (as well as the storage units) IF you have collision coverage. You will owe your deductible though.

So how are you not at fault? It was there... you backed into it.

Go ahead and ask them to pay for the damages. Then they know who to come after for damages to their storage units.

You are at fault. Not noticing a stationary object is negligence on your part. You can't give a ticket to a storage space.

You'll be lucky if they don't sue you for scratching their storage unit.

You were at fault, you didn't see the mounted storage area. Your insurance will likely cover your damages, if your carry comp/coll coverage. If you were in a parking garage, and it rained, and the concrete leeched lye or acidic substances on your car, ruining your paint job, the owner's of the parking facility would be responsible for your damages, as you would not be required to assume the concrete would leech chemicals. It all comes down to common sense.
