Have you been badly hurt in a car accident? If it wasn’t your fault you are strongly advised to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as you can. You may be able to claim compensation from whoever was responsible for the accident, but it’s harder to do that if you leave it too long.
Serious car crash injuries can prove to be expensive if they mean a lot of medical treatment is needed or if you have to take time off work or even worse, lose your job. There is no reason why someone else’s negligence should leave you out of pocket.
Watch Out if You Use a Parking Lot
There is nothing particularly unsafe about a parking lot. It just gets busy and every so often a careless driver is likely to cause an accident. The problem with car crashes in a PetSmart parking lot, as with any other parking lot, is that you cannot predict just when you are about to encounter a dangerous driver.
It can happen when you are walking to or from the store and an impatient driver backs out and hits you. Or you could be driving around the lot, looking for somewhere to park and another driver hits you as he or she exits a row too fast.
The type of injuries that can happen if you are involved in a parking lot smash depend on whether you are a pedestrian or actually still inside your own car. Even if you are inside the car when you are hit, if the other driver is driving too fast, you could suffer serious injuries.
In fact, if you have just parked, you may not have your seat belt on, so you could end up with a smashed chest, face or head if you are jolted forwards.
Make Sure You Get Professional Legal Help
If you are badly injured in a PetSmart parking lot, or any other parking lot, life can get very difficult. Just dealing with treatment and the fall-out that the accident has on your personal and family life can be hard enough to deal with.
If you think you can prove who was responsible for the accident and, even better, have reliable witnesses, you should contact an experienced personal injury attorney to discuss the possibility of initiating a claim for compensation against the driver.
