PARKING LOT CAR CRASHES ARE AMONG MOST FREQUENT
Insurance industry statistics show that car crash accidents occur frequently in parking lots. If fact, up to 20% of all car crashes in the country occur in a parking lot. Fortunately, most parking lot collisions only involve damage to the vehicles, because the speed of the cars is usually slow. Nonetheless, our car accident lawyers have represented many people injured in a parking lot accident.
In several cases, someone was walking behind a car that backed into them. Other times, a car ran a stop sign and hit someone walking in the parking lot. However, we have also had injury cases where a car T-boned or rear-ended our client’s car. An injury can occur even with a low-speed collision.
When a car runs into a pedestrian in a parking lot, the result can be a broken leg, broken hip, or head injury. Of course, the insurance company will claim our client was at fault, or at least partially at fault. They argue that our client should have seen the car and avoided the impact – even if the car just suddenly backed out as our client was walking by. That’s why our lawyers always recommend getting the names and contact information of any witnesses.
