for Your Maximum
Compensation
A surprising number of automobile accidents occur in parking lots. If you have been a victim of such an accident, contact Michael J. Redenburg, Esq. P.C. We serve Manhattan and NYC, representing people who have been injured in parking lot accidents.
The risk of a crash in a parking lot is greater than you might think. The National Safety Council reports that every year in parking lots and garage structures, there are:
Thousands of pedestrians are injured every year because of driver distraction in parking lots. According to a National Safety Council public opinion poll, while driving through parking lots:
Based on National Safety Council analysis of government data, nine percent of pedestrian deaths in parking lots result from backup accidents. Many modern vehicles are equipped with backup cameras providing a wide rear view when the vehicle is reversing. However, the rear view may not be clear if the camera lens is obstructed.
Poorly maintained parking lots with potholes, cracks, inadequate pavement striping, lack of signage, poor lighting, debris, puddles, ice, or snow can lead to accidents and injuries. Slip or trip and fall accidents are common in parking lots. Falls are a leading cause of injury and death in older adults.
Traffic laws apply in parking lots, just as they do on the road. But lack of traffic signs or markings can make it difficult to follow the rules. Most traffic accidents in parking lots are caused by driver distraction or inattention. They may be texting while driving, staring at their iPhone or looking at email on their smartphone. However, some accidents and injuries, such as slip or trip and falls, may be caused by hazardous conditions on the property.
