How Long Do I Have to File a Claim for My Parking Lot Accident in Leesville, LA?

If you suffered any economic or non-economic damages after a parking garage or parking lot accident, you need to initiate a claim quickly. Louisiana generally gives personal injury and property damage victims only two years to file a suit against the at-fault party under CC Art. 3492. There may be a legal exception to your case. However, allowing the statute of limitations to expire means forfeiting your right to seek damages in court. Our parking lot attorneys can explain the filing timeline that applies to your case.

CTA CTA

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.

Who Is Liable for Damages After a Parking Lot Accident?

In general, liability lies with the driver who caused the collision. Since Louisiana is a fault-based state, drivers are required to carry third-party liability insurance to cover car accidents they cause.

Your compensation in most cases would come from the driver’s insurance. However, there may be other liable parties. A parking garage or parking lot property owner may be liable for damages if a defect on the property led to the crash. For instance, cracked or uneven pavement, obstructions in the lot, and poor garage lighting could all leave the property owner on the hook.

A list of potentially liable parties includes:

  • The other driver
  • The driver’s employer, if working at the time
  • The parking lot or parking garage owner
  • The business or company where the parking lot is located
  • Another third-party service provider or company

Understanding Parking Lot and Parking Garage Collisions

Many drivers don’t perceive parking lots the same way they do public roads. They may not consider that traffic rules apply to parking lots as well. Speed, distraction, and failure-to-yield laws still apply even in a more relaxed and slow-moving traffic environment.

Distraction Is One of the Leading Causes of Parking Lot Crashes

Distraction is a particular issue, as CBS News reports that drivers tend to let their guard down and become more lax upon entering a parking lot. Two-thirds of drivers are comfortable making phone calls in a parking lot, and nearly 50% say that it is fine to type and send a text message. This may be one of the reasons why there are more than 50,000 parking lot and parking garage accidents two years in the US.

Right-of-Way in Parking Lots

Additionally, drivers may not be mindful of the right of way in parking lots. Parking lots can feel like a chaotic and congested maze or a competition for the prime spot, leaving drivers to shirk their responsibilities to drive carefully.

Drivers pulling out of parking spaces generally must yield to drivers moving in a parking lot lane and drivers in a perimeter lane. Further, drivers exiting a parking lane must yield to drivers traveling down perimeter lanes in most cases, unless there is a stop sign or yield sign giving them the right of way. Drivers who fail to adhere to right away laws and cause a collision are usually at fault.

Common Causes of Accidents in Leesville Parking Lots

Some common causes of parking lot accidents include:

  • Driver distraction
  • Speeding or driving too fast for parking lot conditions
  • Failure to yield
  • Competing for the same spot
  • Inadequate surveillance of surroundings, including failing to look in the rearview mirrors
  • Poor driver performance, such as the inability to maneuver between other cars
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Our attorneys will determine what caused your accident and work to hold the responsible party accountable.
