Parking Lot/Backover Accidents

Many parking lots and driveways inevitably offer reduced visibility due to other cars or buildings in the way, and unfortunately this lack of visibility can result in dangerous pedestrian accidents, even at low speeds. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident as a pedestrian, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your rights are protected.

A “back-over” accident typically occurs when a driver is reversing out of a driveway or parking spot, with limited visibility on either side of the vehicle, and inadvertently strikes a pedestrian who moved into the vehicle’s reversing pathway. Children can be especially vulnerable to these accidents due to their shorter height and lack of strict caution, such as when retrieving a ball that has rolled away, and workers in construction zones are also at greater risk of backover accidents.

While newer vehicles are increasingly fitted with rear-view cameras and motion detectors to prevent these types of accidents, there is no substitute for proper caution and simply moving as slowly as is necessary when visibility is reduced in order to prevent striking a person moving within the vehicle’s vicinity. If you’ve been injured in an accident due to a driver’s negligence, you deserve full compensation for your injuries and losses, including medical expenses and pain and suffering, and we will ensure that your rights are protected.
