Have you been hurt in a parking lot as a result of a careless driver crashing into you? It can be galling to know that your injuries are going to cost you much more than you can afford through no fault of your own. If you are in this situation, you should strongly consider taking legal action.
You are more likely to be successful if you obtain the assistance of an experienced attorney who has dealt with car accident claims many times before.
Accidents in a Parking Lot
You may wonder how car crashes can take place in a parking lot when most traffic is moving relatively slowly. Visibility may not be great in any busy parking lot. If you are walking to or from your vehicle you have to keep a sharp look out for car drivers who move too fast or are not concentrating where they are going.
Some car drivers forget to look behind them when they are reversing out of a parking space. That’s when pedestrians are most likely to get crushed or knocked over. Passing vehicles can be hit on the side as well.
Typical injuries sustained in a place like a grocery store parking lot are broken bones, torn skin, gashes and cuts as well as back or head injuries if the accident victim is knocked to the ground.
Do You Need Legal Assistance?
Many people do not realize just how challenging it can be to successfully pursue a personal injury claim against a negligent driver. If your injuries are severe, you should not hesitate to contact an experienced personal injury attorney.
