Most people when they drive out of their garage never think about the possibility of having an accident, even less so if they are just going to a fast food restaurant to get the family dinner. But once cars are jostling for space in a parking lot car crashes do happen and some of them are quite serious.
People can get quite bad tempered when queuing up for a meal after a stressful day at work and aren’t concentrating as much as they should be. If you have been injured in this situation and it was not your fault you may be entitled to compensation from the person at fault but you will need a personal injury attorney to file a claim on your behalf.
Accidents Are Common in Fast Food Restaurants Parking Lots
It’s clear that Burger King, like any fast food restaurant, provides food that people like, at prices people like, and it’s very successful because of that. However, successful companies have lots of customers, and lots of other customers means that the likelihood of an injury or crash in their parking lot is higher.
People are pulling in and out of the Burger King parking lot, just as they do in any restaurant parking lot, cars are constantly streaming through the drive-through, leaving lots of opportunities for inattentive drivers to hit you or your car.
For example, if you’re in the drive-through line, other drivers can easily rear-end you if they don’t pay attention to the flow of traffic in the line.
Even if the damage to your car is minor in an accident like that, you can still run the risk of developing whiplash due to the impact of the other car.
If you’re walking, a careless driver can back over you, or even hit you head-on.
You Will Need a Personal Injury Attorney
Most people throughout the country are covered under state personal injury law meaning it is possible to file a personal injury compensation claim against the at fault driver.
However, rarely are such claims successful unless the claim is filed by a personal injury attorney on your behalf.
