    She's liable if she was negligent.

    And hitting a parked vehicle is usually negligent - unless, perhaps, the vehicle was negligently parked, in a place where it could not easily be seen, or would not be expected to be. But you don't suggest anything of the kind.

    It's also possible that she could escape liability if someone else was liable - e.g. she swerves to avoid a careless motorist or a pedestrian stepping out into the road, and as a result hits your light. But, again, you don't suggest anything of the kind.
