Parking Lot and Shopping Center Accidents in Pennsylvania
Accidents in shopping centers and parking lots, like the one at Keyser Oak Shopping Center, occur frequently due to high pedestrian activity, frequent stops, and vehicles pulling in and out of parking spaces. Low-speed crashes in these areas may still cause injuries, particularly when drivers fail to yield, are distracted, or misjudge distances.
According to PennDOT, a significant number of crashes each year occur in parking lots or private properties, often leading to injuries that require medical attention. Whiplash, back pain, and concussions are common injuries associated with these types of accidents, even at lower speeds.
Victims injured in parking lot accidents caused by another driver’s negligence may have legal options for seeking compensation. Pennsylvania law allows injured individuals to pursue claims for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Understanding legal rights and taking action can be crucial for those recovering from accident-related injuries.
If you or a loved one has been hurt in a car accident, securing proper assistance can help in the recovery process.
