Negligent Parking Lot Design and Maintenance
People utilize parking lots to temporarily park their vehicles, motorcycles, bikes and other forms of transportation, so they can take care of what needs to get done in our busy lives.
Getting some grocery shopping done, enjoying a night at the movies, even working our daily jobs. Besides the every day hazards of reckless drivers and all types of accidents that take place in parking lots and parking structures, poor design and negligence maintenance is a huge factor.
Many parking lot designs have been overlooked and have actually been made to act as a perfect recipe for carnage. Some poor parking lot design flaws can consist of:
- No stop signs
- Tight and narrow parking spaces
- Aisles designed for two cars that only fit one or less
- Poorly illuminated or no lighting at all
- Design that gives singular lane priority, causing overall traffic and backups
- Faulty stop lights
- None or too many crosswalks

Top 3 Most Common Parking Lot Accidents
Drivers and pedestrians feel safe in parking lots and parking garages because of the slow speeds and confined spaces, limiting a drivers excess ability of motion and over-maneuverability. This is a false and misleading thought process.
It is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous being a pedestrian and or driver in a parking area. Here is a list of the Top 3 Most Common Parking Lot Accidents:
- Hit-and-Runs - Whether the hit and run victims are walking or jogging pedestrians, cyclist, skateboarders or on some other form of transportation, hit and runs happen every day. The hit and run suspect avoids stopping, checking on the victim and calling for medical attention and exchanging insurance information because they do not want to deal with the situation out of pure negligence, has a prior history with the law, or the hit and run was intentional. If you witness a hit and run, call 911 and give any information you may have, but always stay alert and take your health and safety as a priority.
- Pedestrian Accidents - Pedestrian accidents can be related to distracted driving, reckless driving, auto defects and road rage. Many pedestrian accidents can result in serious injury and death because of the weight ratio between a person and a vehicle.
- Fender-Benders - Fender-benders are prevalent in parking lots and parking structures because of the tightly situated parking area and congested traffic. Rear-endings, side swipes, head-on impacts and other types of fender-benders can all be minor with no injuries, to severe with catastrophic injuries. Never take any fender-bender or car accident lightly. Always seek medical attention and file a police report so documentation of injuries are related to the accident.

Why Avoid Immediately Contacting Insurance Companies?
Insurance companies are in the money making business. As much as they tell you they are your friends and want to help you as much as they can, they will play hardball from the beginning, to ensure they give the least amount of money, saving them the most amount of money.
Our skilled and experienced staff of paralegals negotiate with insurance adjusters every single day and understand what it takes to get you the most money possible.
Many people will agree to pay off in cash and avoid minor to severe fender-bender and car, pedestrian and other types of accidents. This is a bad idea for a few reasons:
- Damage Invisible to the Eye: While it looks as though there is a minor scratch, crack, ding or dent, it is very possible and very common that the frame of your vehicle was torqued, bent and manipulated which can harm your vehicles health and cause major problems down the line, and quite possible result in a serious or fatal car wreck.
- Medical costs: Many rear-endings result in whiplash. Because of your body going into shock or not feeling the pain right away, you could experience severe neck, back or other body pain in the following days after the accident. Medical bills, doctors visits, treatments, physical therapy, medication and other aspects of seeking medical attention can quickly add up, and without insurance coverage from the person who hit you, if you paid everything off under the table, there is nothing more you or we can do.
- Don't Ruin Your Chances of Maximum Compensation: Many people will contact their insurance provider to get the process going as soon as possible. The only problem is that insurance companies want to make sure they don't pay out as much as they have to. They want to give as little as they have to, regardless of your situation.
There are massive benefits to having insurance, but knowing when to contact them, how to do so and understanding your Insurance Legal Rights in California is a necessity.
In order to get maximum compensation, you should contact our skilled and dedicated team of Riverside Parking Lot Lawyers and receive a Free Case Evaluation and Consultation.
