Research shows that children and seniors are at higher risk of being involved in a parking lot accident than those in any other age group. It is very common for parking lot accidents to occur when a driver fails to notice a pedestrian in their rearview while backing out of a parking space.
Even though these car accidents normally happen at low speeds, pedestrians can suffer severe personal injuries including:
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Trauma to the back and spinal cord
- Internal injuries
There are a number of factors that could potentially lead to a needless collision in a parking garage or surface lot, including:
- Negligent and speeding drivers
- Failure to obey traffic signs
- Lack of visibility around parked cars
