Parking lot accidents are a surprisingly serious problem throughout the nation. Many people falsely believe that parking lot crashes do not cause injuries because vehicles are typically driving at low speeds. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In fact, over 60,000 people are injured in parking lot accidents every single year, according to the National Safety Council. Roughly 500 of these crashes even result in a fatality.

Common Causes of Parking Lot Accidents

Parking lot accidents are extremely dangerous and can even result in death. This is because it is often an accident involving a moving vehicle and an unsuspecting pedestrian. The pedestrian has virtually no protection from the impact and will usually impact the unforgiving pavement of the parking lot.

Even the most careful individuals can be the victim of a parking lot accident. These incidents are almost always the result of negligence on behalf of one party. However, negligence can take many forms. Some of the most frequent causes of parking lot accidents are:

  • Backing out of a parking spot without checking for pedestrians
  • Backing into another vehicle
  • Pulling into the path of another vehicle
  • Careless driving
  • A driver is distracted (texting, talking to passengers)
  • A driver is fatigued
  • A driver is intoxicated
  • Speeding through the parking lot
  • Failing to adhere to signage (driving in the wrong direction)
