What are common causes and injuries in parking lot accident cases?

While unfortunate, people get injured in parking garage accidents all the time. The National Safety Council (NSC) has found that, on average, at least 60,000 people are injured in parking lots and garages every year.¹ Of this number, 500 or more people suffer fatal injuries.

Car crashes and vehicle accidents are perhaps the greatest cause of parking garage injuries. In specific, the following often lead to accident injuries:

• backing out of parking spaces without checking for pedestrians or other drivers,
• drunk driving,
• talking or texting on cell phones while driving or walking,
• careless driving,
• fender benders,
• speeding, and
• driving the wrong way.

Note that in addition to car accidents, parking lot injuries are often caused by:

• slip and fall accidents, and
• a person’s criminal acts.

Parking lot accidents can cause serious injuries, including:

• broken bones,
• lacerations,
• neck injuries,
• back injuries,
• knee and hip injuries, and
• fatalities.

Who are defendants in these cases?

Car accident attorneys and parking garage lawyers often file lawsuits against the following people:

• negligent drivers,
• owners of parking garages,
• companies that manage or maintain a parking structure,
• negligent pedestrians (when there are pedestrian accidents), and
• government entities (for example, when a government agency owns a parking structure).

People who receive favorable verdicts or settlement offers in these cases can receive compensation for:

• medical bills and medical expenses,
• lost wages,
• lost earning capacity,
• property damage, and
• pain and suffering.

When fatal injuries occur in parking lots, a victim’s family members can likely file a wrongful death lawsuit against the person who caused the parking garage injury. Damages can include (but are not limited to):

• burial and funeral expenses,
• amounts the deceased would have earned as income, and
• compensation for the loss of the deceased’s companionship and support.²

What do personal injury lawyers do in parking garage cases?

Personal injury attorneys play a tremendous role in parking lot accident cases.

For starters, they interview you to learn the facts of your case and your medical needs. In serious car accident cases, your attorney can help manage your ongoing medical care.

An injury lawyer will provide legal advice as to your legal options and how to best protect your legal rights.

Attorneys can also gather evidence in your case. For example, your attorney can take photos at the scene of the accident or obtain a police report. If necessary, the lawyer may appoint an expert to help explain this evidence to a judge or jury.

A parking lot lawyer can also help accident victims by filing insurance claims with the insurer of the person or entity that caused an injury. The lawyer can even negotiate with a claims adjuster to reach a fair settlement in your case.

If no settlement is reached, a personal injury attorney can file a lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
