Parking Lot Slip and Fall Accident

Although walking through a parking lot may seem like a simple, straightforward task, there are many parking lot slip and fall accidents that occur each year. These slip and fall accidents can have costly results where injuries and medical bills are to be expected. The property owners of these parking lots have a duty to you and its users to keep it safe for all. If you or a loved one has suffered from a slip and fall accident in a parking lot, consider contacting a lawyer to discuss your potential case and damages.

What can happen in a parking lot slip and fall accident?

The environment of a parking lot makes it possible that several things could cause a possible slip and fall. In the cold winter months, ice, snow, or sleet can make the pavement slick and slippery. Parking lots should be laying down salt frequently and as much as necessary to prevent falls or cars slipping. Also, uneven pavement can cause a person to trip and fall, and could have been prevented had the property owner regularly maintained and controlled the lot. Also, any spills such as oil or trash found on the ground can form an obstruction that can cause a person to fall. From a slip and fall, a person can sustain serious injuries especially on the hard concrete pavement that is in a parking lot. Victims report concussions, broken or fractured bones, spinal or neck injury, traumatic brain injury, and more.

Who is liable?

Property owners owe those that are lawfully on their premises the duty of providing a safe and accessible environment for all through reasonable measures of care. When they fail to uphold this duty and a person is injured due to a property owner’s negligence to maintain the parking lot, they may be held liable for damages and injuries that resulted from the accident. Depending on the circumstances of the case, the victim may sue the property owner of the apartment or business where it occurred, or the operators of the property, if it is rented.
