Usually everyone has to keep a good lookout for other vehicles on the road, and travel at a distance from others so as to be able to stop in good time without hitting anything. As you were stationary it will almost certainly be the other party's fault. They should have seen you and avoided the collision.
They may counter claim that you were performing an illegal, unexpected, or foolhardy manoeuvre and so try to reduce their liability because of what they claim to be your contributory negligence. You will, of course, deny this robustly with witness and evidence from the crash scene.
