Injury claims arising out of parking lot accidents in Fresno can be complex. Although these accidents usually happen at low speeds, injuries can be severe, and assigning liability can be challenging.
Dunnion Law has been representing injured people in car accident cases for more than 50 years. Our car wreck attorneys will fight to protect your right to fair compensation for your injuries.
Vehicles moving through parking lots are usually traveling relatively slowly, but low-speed crashes can produce debilitating injuries. When a vehicle hits a pedestrian in a parking lot, the pedestrian’s injuries may be severe or even fatal.
Soft tissue injuries to the neck or back can be difficult to prove because these injuries do not appear on X-rays but usually appear as symptoms. Low-speed crashes can cause concussions, which may take a long time to resolve and produce crippling symptoms for months. Our Fresno attorneys work with medical professionals to prove the extent of your parking lot wreck injuries and support your claim for compensation.
Injuries are often much more serious when a vehicle hits a pedestrian in a parking lot. Broken bones, damage to internal organs, traumatic brain injuries, and paralyzing spinal cord injuries can all occur in this type of crash.
Driver distraction frequently causes parking lot crashes. A driver searching for a parking space may not be attentive to pedestrians and other vehicles. Impatience may also be a factor, as a driver eager to claim a spot might suddenly turn into one and hit a pedestrian or another vehicle.
Parking lot design and maintenance sometimes cause accidents. When there is no separate pedestrian walkway, pedestrians must walk in the same lanes as cars and risk being hit. Unclear lane markings and poor lighting can also increase the chances of vehicle collisions.
Our attorneys in Fresno have experience investigating all types of vehicle wrecks, including parking lot accidents. We review several types of evidence, including the police report, witness statements, and photos of the scene and vehicle damage, in an effort to establish that another party’s negligence caused or contributed to the incident.
