Question
If I parked in a regular parking space in a parking lot and opened my door onto the car next to me, causing a small scratch on its door, what is the halachic ruling and how is such damage assessed and paid?
Answer
Shalom u’verakhah,
If the owner of the vehicle is going to repair the damage, you are obligated to pay him.
If he is not going to repair it, you are not obligated to pay.
