Parking Lot Accidents in Pennsylvania
Parking lot accidents, though often overlooked, can result in significant injuries, particularly when pedestrians, cyclists, or stationary objects are involved. In high-traffic areas like commercial plazas and fast-food parking lots, driver distraction, failure to yield, and blind spots are common causes of crashes.
While parking lot collisions may occur at lower speeds, they can still cause whiplash, broken bones, concussions, and soft tissue injuries. In some cases, legal action may be necessary for injured parties to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a parking lot accident, seeking medical care and understanding your rights is crucial.
