Most people are unaware of parking lot dangers. Statistics indicate that approximately one-fourth of all traffic accidents involve at least one parked car in a parking lot. Drivers and pedestrians may assume that parking lots and garages are relatively safe because vehicles are not traveling at high speeds. However, the reality is that severe injury and costly property damage can occur wherever there are negligent motorists. Often, the injuries one sustains will require expensive medical treatment. This is a burden that the victims of another’s recklessness should never have to bear.

Dangers of Parking Lots
There are a number of factors that could potentially lead to a needless collision in a parking garage or surface lot. These include the following:
- Increased concentration of pedestrian traffic
- Negligent drivers speeding through the parking lot
- Failure to abide by traffic signs posted on the lot
- Lack of visibility around parked cars
Many people become frustrated and prone to road rage in parking lots, especially when looking for a parking space during peak shopping hours, further contributing to an unexpectedly hazardous environment.
