LR, there is wording in every OPS manual that I've ever read to the effect that:

"Even under marshallers direction, follow me cars, stand guidance etc.. it is still the Captain that is responsible for avoiding collision when moving under own power"

It is, therefore, the captain who is responsible for any collisions which may happen.

Full stop, end of story.

I always taxi at my own risk.
