illegaly parked car backed into

so I was at work and I stopped my car perpendicular to the others parked in the stalls. I ran inside to talk to my boss and in the mean time a prick in an escalade backed into me. he hit my right front headlight with his rear right bumper. my bumper( a fiberglass body kit one) was destroyed and my headlight was broken. his bumper has a black mark on it.

he says its my fault because I was illegally parked, but I say its his because he hit a stationary object. I found many sites on the net that say its 100% his fault but his insurance company says that they will notify my insurance company and possible a claim will be made against me. As a young driver I have a spotless record and I am in preferred insurance. if i loose that status my insurance goes up 100 dollars a month without any points.

I just wanted to get some input to determine if it is worth taking the risk of a possibility of it going on my record.

any thoughts.

thanks
kenny
