Rick Smith | ClientYou Can Recover Compensation After a Parking Lot Accident
The most common type of damage you can claim for a parking lot accident is vehicle damage. Even at slow speeds, an impact on your car can be costly to repair. We can help you recover compensation to pay for these repairs and to repair or replace any personal belongings that were damaged.
While severe injuries aren’t as common in two-vehicle parking lot accidents, you and your passengers can still get injured. Some of the most common injuries we see our clients facing include traumatic head injuries, neck and back injuries, and broken bones. We can help you recover compensation to pay for medical bills from the accident, future medical expenses for ongoing treatments, and your pain and suffering. Any injury can put you out of work, so we can recover lost wages or salary for you, too.
When someone loses their life in a parking lot accident, we can also help their families file wrongful death claims to get compensation for funeral/burial costs, lost household income support, and more.
The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
ClientPossible Liable Parties in Your Lawtell Parking Lot Accident
Who is responsible for your parking lot accident depends on how the accident occurred. Some of the most common types of auto accidents in parking lots include:
- Pedestrian accidents
- Dooring
- Rear-end collisions
- Sideswipes
- Backup collisions
Our goal is to find out who caused your parking lot accident and hold them responsible. We can use a variety of evidence, including footage of the accident and witness testimony, to determine who is at fault. Then we can file a claim with their insurance company.
The National Safety Council (NSC) conducted a survey to identify the common cause of parking lot accidents, and they found that more than half of respondents drove distracted in parking lots. Distracted drivers may cause these kinds of accidents by:
- Failing to provide the right of way
- Driving down the wrong lane
- Failing to make a proper turn
- Failing to check for vehicles in the through lane or in the parking spots behind them
- Failing to stop or yield
- Opening their door as you ride your bicycle by
Louisiana is not a no-fault state, which means that victims have to prove that another driver caused their accident and that their insurance should pay for your damages. A Lawtell parking lot attorney from our firm can investigate the cause of your accident and figure out whose insurance should pay.
They treated us like no other people would. Whenever we needed something they were there for us. I put my trust in them and I don’t regret it.
