Abbeville Parking Lot Accident Lawyer

Parking lots are often very busy places as motorists and pedestrians move in and out.

If you sustain any injuries in a parking lot accident, finding out who is the liable party is crucial to getting compensated. The owner of the premises might be at fault if the parking lot was poorly maintained and posed an unreasonable risk of harm. The owner of the parking lot owes everyone a duty of care.

Other parties may be at-fault in a parking lot accident. However, if the party fled the scene, your case might fall under the uninsured motorist case. This is because it will be difficult to know the party responsible for the accident. You have the option of consulting an Abbeville parking lot accident lawyer if you sustain any injuries in a parking lot accident.

Each parking lot accident is different, and many complex laws guide how the injured parties will recover compensation. A parking lot accident lawyer will use their knowledge and experience to help ensure that you get the compensation you deserve through negotiations or going to court. Contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers today at (337) 777-7777 and let us review your case for free.

Determining the Liable Party in a Parking Lot Accident

There could be more than one liable party in a parking lot accident. An investigation into how the accident happened and how it caused your injuries is very important to winning the claim.

The main pieces of evidence that will help in determining the liable party include:

  • The police report of the accident
  • Medical records of your injuries
  • Surveillance footage of the parking lot
  • Expert testimonies regarding the state of the parking lot or nature of the accident

The police report will contain a lot of detail as to who is the liable party. The police are usually the first responders to an accident. This means they get to collect a lot of crucial evidence and may even determine who the liable party is as they interview the parties involved.

The medical records are proof that your injuries are due to the accident. Surveillance footage of the parking lot is also a good way to determine who is at fault in a parking lot accident. The video will show the number of parties involved in the accident. This will help the court decide which parties are liable.

Expert testimonies are also crucial in determining the liable parties. For instance, an expert can testify as to whether the lighting in the parking lot exposed people to an unreasonable risk of harm.

Proving that another party is liable for an accident can be quite tricky. This is one of the main reasons why people seek the services of an Abbeville parking lot accident lawyer. Get a free case evaluation today when you contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers at (337) 777-7777.

Reasons to Hire Lawyer After a Parking Lot Accident

Besides getting the compensation you deserve after sustaining injuries, there are many reasons why you may want to get a lawyer after a parking lot accident.

Here are some of them:

  • Negotiating with the liable party’s insurance company
  • Filing your case in time
  • Appearing in court on your behalf
  • Gathering evidence

Many personal injury claims get settled out of court. Having a lawyer can help get compensation because they can negotiate a settlement with the liable party’s insurance company. A lawyer understands the insurance companies and knows how to get you the settlement amount you might be entitled to.

Personal injury claims have a statute of limitations of two years in Louisiana. This is according to the Louisiana Civil Code (CC) Article 3492, which establishes that any personal injury claim must get filed within two years of the date of occurrence. A parking lot accident lawyer can help you ensure that your case gets filed in time.

A lawyer will also represent you in court if the insurance company or at-fault party would not compensate you fairly. This is especially helpful in cases where the injured party is still recovering. The lawyer will handle everything regarding your case, which will give you ample time to focus on recovering.

Getting an attorney after a parking lot accident can also help because they can gather all of the necessary evidence. The evidence from the accident is crucial to determining who is at fault. It will also be instrumental in helping you win the personal injury claim.

Common Causes of Parking Lot Accidents

Various factors could cause an accident in a parking lot. Some of the common ones include:

  • Faulty speed bumps
  • Damaged pavements
  • Poor lighting
  • Irresponsible driving

Speed bumps are normally meant to help drivers slow down. However, when poorly constructed in a parking lot, they can cause accidents. Speed bumps might cause an unreasonable risk of harm. The condition of the pavement could also cause accidents. This is if it is seriously damaged, uneven, or has potholes.

Poor lighting is a risk factor that could cause parking lot accidents because drivers are unable to see other vehicles or warning signs of potential hazards. Irresponsible driving is also a common cause of parking lot accidents. This occurs if the driver is under the influence of drugs, speeding, or ignoring traffic rules.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
