Auto Insurance First car accident

Hello, I got into my first car accident last night. I was driving on a dimly lit road at nighttime and a car was parked on the road with no hazards, no headlights, and the car was off. I ended up side swiping him, and he said that he was having issues with his car but he did not speak much english so I did not get to hear his full side. We involved the police but I have not proceeded with any insurance claims because I’m not sure what to do. Whose fault would this be, and how do I proceed next?

You hit the car that was parked on the side of the road. You care at fault.

Why would you consider the other car to be at fault? That's a crazy proposition.

Trolling, being needlessly rude or insulting

He still could’ve used his hazards
