Parking lot slip and fall
Those injured in parking lot slip and fall accidents deserve justice
Parking lot injuries in California can occur when a property owner fails to ensure the surface is smooth and maintained. Broken pavement or gashes or holes in the parking lot may contribute to a serious injury, such as a broken bone or fracture.
The owner of the parking lot may be negligent if the area is not sufficiently lighted. A dark parking lot not only could contribute to a slip and fall, but might increase the risk of a criminal assault.
A number of factors contribute to injuries sustained in parking lots, which may or may not involve vehicle traffic (parking lots are one of the most common sites of automobile accidents). These include:
- Inadequate lane markings that lead to a pedestrian accident.
- Negligent maintenance, such as potholes or other hazards governed by laws of premises liability.
- Negligent security caused by inadequate supervision or lighting.
Many parking lot injury cases involve lack of signs, lighting, or boundary demarcation that may contribute to a pedestrian accident. Property owners have a responsibility to ensure safe access into and out of a parking lot, including clear lines of sight, indication of right of way and other measures.
