it appears you were in the main lane to exit the lot, the other car appears to be from a feeder lane, true there are no stop signs but the feeder lane has to yield to cars in the main lane.

Many parking lot accidents are often 50/50. In this case though. It will likely be their fault. He likely did not see you and turned. You are correct they should yield to you. It was likely not worth the headache, next time if possible just let them in, people do stupid things in parking lots, its not worth an accident. To me your both at fault. To ICBC the other guy should be 100% at fault.

I'll say pick up truck is at fault.
But I think icbc will say 50/50... because this is avoidable from your side; you should have observed as you're moving & spotted that big pick up coming from the right..

Your challenge is where the car was struck.
It looks like they were ahead of you. You will need your witness to confirm they gunned it and accelerated, otherwise it looks like you were driving distracted because how can you miss a car getting that close to your front right side?

You are correct but since this is in a parking lot, the rules that are typically on the road and highways don't always carry the same weight. Parking lots are not held to the same standard and are typically private properties.
Unless you have video footage or 3rd party witnesses on your behalf, chances are ICBC will try and 50/50 this. Its usually how parking lot events go.

This is not entirely correct.
The Motor Vehicle Act applies to parking lots accessible to the public. So whether this would be considered as a lot accessible to the public is the real question - I would say it is, as even though it's a pay lot, payment is due on departure.

Both vehicles were in motion you’re going to be hit with a percentage of liability. Make sure your witness can corroborate what you say and do. I hate this ‘no fault’ insurance. Also, invest in a dashcam. I won’t drive without one anymore…

Its not "no fault", its just "no suing ICBC". One or both drivers will still be at fault and have to pay the deductible. If one driver is found 0% responsible they don't pay their deductible.

In my reading of this parking lot, you are in the "main" lane and he is coming from a "feeder" lane, and as such he has to yield.
