Sucks to be hit, hope you get it fixed soon.
From what I can see from the photos and using my awesome internet armchair detective skills, there can only be two scenarios:
1) Cajun was backing out and stopped after noticing the VW lady. VW Lady sees Cajun too late and swerves, clipping Cajun's back end that's sticking out from behind the truck. VW lady definitely at fault.
2) Cajun was backing out but didn't stop after noticing the VW lady. VW Lady sees Cajun too late and swerves, clipping Cajun's moving back end that's sticking out from behind the truck. VW lady and Cajun would both have a share in the blame.
Without concrete proof, it could go either way. This would've never happened if the VW lady had some patience and actually waited for Cajun to completely back out. But nobody ever does that right?
This is the reason why I either reverse park or inch my bum out bit by bit, with pauses in between so I have plenty of time to react and making it glaring obvious to even the best darwin award winners.
