With the summer months upon us, you may find yourself out and about more often whether shopping for your upcoming vacation or stocking up for a family barbeque.
Navigating parking lots can present a variety of dangers for pedestrians. Physical defects in parking lots can lead to accumulations of precipitation. In winter months, that can create slippery conditions leading to falls. However, dangers can still be lurking in warmer months. Unaddressed potholes or other physical defects in parking lots can still present slip or trip hazards. In addition, careless or distracted drivers traveling through parking lots can lead to parking lot crashes that injure unsuspecting pedestrians.
It is important to always be aware of your surroundings while navigating a parking lot. Be sure to cross in cross walks when provided. Even the most careful pedestrian can find himself or herself a victim of careless drivers or negligent upkeep in parking lots. Our team of attorneys has experience representing pedestrians injured as a result of motor vehicle crashes as well as parking lot defects leading to slip or trip incidents.
