When a person is injured in a parking lot, the lingering question of “who’s responsible” must be answered. We don’t often equate parking lots with danger as we frequently use them while accessing schools, shopping centers, and more. Unfortunately, people are injured regularly as they go to and from their cars in parking lots. When a person is injured in a parking lot and believes it was caused by negligence, he or she may want to bring a lawsuit to collect compensation for the impact of the injury. In most of these cases, if the owner of the parking lot acted negligently, they could be held liable for the accident. If you are in this situation, you should contact an attorney to discuss your legal options. Timian & Fawcett, LLC is a dedicated legal team dedicated to the future of those injured by negligence. To schedule a consultation with our parking lot accident lawyers, contact Timian & Fawcett, LLC today.
When seriously injured in a parking lot, it is important to consider all legal options. There are numerous hazards that can lead to serious injury in a parking lot, including pavement problems, loose debris, unaddressed weather conditions, inadequate lighting, and insufficient security. These accidents can lead to mounting medical bills, lost wages, an impact on one’s future, and a lifetime of physical effects. The seasoned Prince George’s County slip & fall lawyers here at Timian & Fawcett, LLC can help you collect evidence and work to satisfy the burden of proof on your behalf.
Like other personal injury cases, it is important to note that the plaintiff will need to satisfy the burden of proof, meaning that they will need to prove that the property owner or those responsible for the upkeep of the parking lot knew or should have reasonably known about a problem and did not take the necessary steps to fix it, leading to serious injury. Regarding parking lots, in particular, there are various potential parties that could be liable.
Preserving evidence is an important part of one’s burden of proof. If you are injured in a parking lot accident, you can take some steps to help your case. Firstly, it is important to seek medical attention. If you are able, it would be pertinent to take pictures of what caused your injury and speak with anyone who witnessed the accident. If you are not able to act for yourself, contact an attorney that can act on your behalf. With the help of an attorney’s investigation, you may be able to recover damages.
