Parking Lot Accidents

In the parking lot accidents that take place in the United States, most are in parking lots that are considered private property. Many of these types of accidents are at low speeds. Because of the low-speed impacts in parking lots, the injuries to individuals are usually not catastrophic. However, pedestrians can easily be injured very seriously by a moving vehicle in a parking lot incident.

Parking lot accidents can happen at the grocery store lot, the shopping center lot, at the doctor’s office lot, religious facility, municipal building or at a community center lot. These are very common incidences. Often times, parking lot accidents are caused by the distraction of a driver who is either texting, using a cell phone, lighting a cigarette, eating or talking to a passenger.

Whether the parking lot accident that you are involved in takes place in a private lot or public lot, if someone is injured the police should be notified. Also it is important to exchange insurance information with the driver of a vehicle in a parking lot accident. Although it may seem out of sorts to take photographs, it is important to document as much of the event as possible. If your cell phone has photography, photographs of the vehicles as they ended up can be important later. When the police do arrive, make sure that a detailed description of what took place is given to the police.

Even though most parking lot accidents occur at low speeds with minimal impact, it is still not uncommon for persons to be seriously injured or killed.

“We were devastated when our 31 year-old son was killed by a negligent driver. Kreisman Law Offices did everything to help us through this very difficult time, including coming out to the house several times which was a comfort. My wife and I were extremely pleased with Mr. Kreisman’s compassion and care for this very tragic and troubling time.” C.B.

“Bob Kreisman did everything possible in handling the trial of this case. It was devastating that I traumatically lost my leg above the knee in this truck accident. However, it was not an easy case to win. His staff was so prepared for the trial that it was not surprising that the settlement offers continued to rise until we finally accepted the multi-million settlement while the jury was still deciding the case. My wife and I were delighted that we could secure our future with this settlement. We thank Mr. Kreisman and his incredible staff for working so hard for our benefit.” T.P.
★★★★★
“My mother died because doctors dropped the ball. I called Robert Kreisman and he immediately set up an appointment for my entire family. We met at his offices and I was very comfortable that he would do the best for my dad and my brothers. He spent hours with all of us in preparing for depositions and he hired top notch experts, all of which contributed to an incredible settlement before trial. I know that he is dedicated to his cases and particularly to the people he works for and the people who work with him. He continues to be generous in contributing annually to my mother’s memory and to make known to the public the signs and symptoms of brain tumors.” V.S.
★★★★★
“My dad was ignored and mistreated at the nursing home that we placed him in. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we made a big mistake, particularly after my dad developed these terrible bedsores. We transferred him as we were contacting Mr. Kreisman. He was referred to us by a lawyer we have known for a long time and respect his opinion. Mr. Kreisman and his staff worked tirelessly to resolve this case. We were fortunate to have his services and will recommend him to anyone.” T.J.
