Even with the usually-slow speed of traffic in parking lots, there are several factors that could lead to an accident. Congestion during busy hours, tight parking spaces, awkward design, or distracted drivers can all converge to cause a crash. These accidents can do minor or serious damage to the drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and vehicles involved.

If you were hurt or suffered property damage in a parking lot, you may be eligible to recover damages from the at-fault party. An Opelousas parking lot accident lawyer at our law firm can help you file a claim for compensation. Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers offers a free case evaluation to discuss the facts of your case.

How an Opelousas Car Accident Attorney Can Benefit Your Parking Lot Claim

We’ll handle your entire claim, so you have nothing to worry about aside from taking the time you need to recover. Your parking lot attorney in Opelousas, LA will:

Investigate the Cause of the Crash

We do an in-depth workup of the parking lot collisions to gather evidence of negligence that proves the other party caused the accident. Discovering who’s at fault ultimately leads us to the liable party who will pay your damages. We’ll find out how the crash happened, whether the driver was backing out without assessing their environment or carelessly rushing to obtain a spot.

Communicate With the Insurer and Other Parties

You’ll never have to deal with an insurer or defending party on your own. We’ll handle the calls, emails, and in-person meetings. We’ll also communicate with other pertinent parties, such as medical providers and car repair professionals.

Negotiate a Settlement

Our Opelousas injury lawyers represent your interests in negotiations. We demand fair compensation to cover your accident-related expenses and fairly compensate you for your pain and suffering. Your attorney will protect you from unfair offers.

File a Lawsuit

Understanding Who Pays for Damages After a Parking Lot Accident

Drivers are required to carry $30,000 in bodily injury insurance per accident and $25,000 in property damage insurance to cover the cost of damages to others in a car accident. You may be able to file a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance policy. Additionally, you can sue the driver for your losses that are not covered under the insurance policy.

It is also possible that your parking lot accident was not the result of driver negligence but the negligence of a third party. In these instances, we can file a claim for compensation with the business or property owner that is at fault.

For example, sometimes parking lots have defects that put drivers and pedestrians in danger. The lot owner may be responsible for this premises liability issue. We are committed to investigating to uncover any evidence of liability to hold the driver and anyone else responsible.
