An Atlanta Parking Lot Accident Lawyer Can Help You

Parking lots are among the busiest areas for both drivers and pedestrians. Their frequent use often leads to complacency or a false sense of security, especially in familiar places such as your local grocery store parking lot that you frequent weekly. However, parking lots are filled with potential hazards: cars reversing, children running at crosswalks, employees gathering carts, stop signs, and speed bumps. This constant activity creates an environment ripe for accidents.

If you have experienced a serious injury in a parking lot, either as a pedestrian or as a driver or passenger in a vehicle, an Atlanta parking lot accident lawyer from Mabra Law can help determine if you have a personal injury lawsuit and explain your legal options.

Types of Parking Lot Accidents

Distracted drivers, confusing road signs, poor weather, insufficient lighting, and aggressive or rushed driving are all common reasons that can lead to an accident in a busy parking lot. The most common types of accidents that happen in parking lots include: 

• Pedestrian Accidents
• Crosswalk Accidents
• Bicycle Accidents
• Scooter Accidents
• Rear-End Accidents
• Fender Benders
• Side Impact Collisions
• Hit and Run Accidents
• Collisions with Stationary Objects (such as parking stones or lighting)
• T-Bone Accidents
• Slips and Falls

At Mabra Law, we represent Georgia residents who were injured in parking lots. For drivers, that often means cases of whiplash that prove long-term.

Other Risk Factors for Accidents in Parking Lots

While driver negligence is the primary cause of parking lot accidents, including both motor vehicle collisions and pedestrian accidents, many risk factors also impact parking lot accidents: 

• Failure to maintain the parking lot premises (such as potholes or inadequate lighting)
• Insufficient safeguards, such as speed bumps and lanes
• Inadequate traffic control 

There are some instances in which the premises will be liable for your injuries, and working with an experienced attorney who knows how to use this evidence to your advantage helps make sure the success of your claim.
