Trusted Parking Lot Accident Lawyer in Tampa, Florida

You might think the lower speeds of cars and trucks would make parking lots relatively safe places to drive or walk. Despite slower speeds, parking lots are dangerous places for motorists and pedestrians. Each year, more than 60,000 people are injured, and at least 500 deaths occur in parking lots and parking garages across the country.

Vehicles making sudden turns into parking spaces and backing into the flow of traffic make parking lot crashes so common that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration refers to these accidents as non-traffic crashes. If you are the victim of a parking lot collision, the experienced Tampa parking lot accident attorneys from Kinney, Fernandez & Boire can help. KFB Law has successfully handled claims for compensation on behalf of victims of parking lot and parking garage crashes.

Causes of parking lot collisions

The direction of movement of vehicles is not as controlled in parking lots and garages as it is on public roads. Traffic entering parking facilities feed into lanes carrying vehicles moving within the parking areas. Add in cars turning into or backing out of parking spaces, and pedestrians walking on and between lanes of traffic, and you have the perfect formula for a collision and serious injuries.
There are many causes of collisions in parking lots and garages in Tampa, but the following are some of the most common:
Drivers backing out of parking spaces and into travel lanes without looking for approaching vehicles.
Pedestrians walking behind a car or truck backing out of a parking space.
Two or more vehicles simultaneously backing out of parking spaces close to each other and colliding.
Vehicles traveling in the wrong direction in a lane between parked vehicles.
A car pulling into a parking space as another vehicle pulls out through the same space.
Drivers speeding through travel lanes.
Driver or passenger opening the door as another vehicle pulls into an adjoining space.
Pedestrians walking between parked vehicles and into the path of cars or trucks in the travel lanes.
Things can happen very quickly in the confined area of a parking facility, and driver distraction can increase the risk of vehicles colliding or of a vehicle striking a pedestrian. Common distractions include:
Talking on a cell phone
Texting
Reading or sending emails
Reviewing social media
Keep in mind that most of the drivers in a parking facility are looking for a parking space or attempting to find their way to the exit. Both activities represent distractions that can divert a motorist’s attention and result in an accident.

Holding parking facility owners liable

A parking lot accident lawyer can also help you make a personal injury claim based on the negligence of the parking lot owner.

The owners of parking facilities are obligated to keep them properly maintained and safe. Failing to provide adequate lighting, allowing the road surface to deteriorate to the point at which potholes develop, and similar hazards can make the property owner liable when the conditions cause accidents.

Poor lighting can make it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians or other vehicles. Poorly maintained road surfaces and potholes can force drivers to swerve causing them to lose control of their cars and crash. Pedestrians are also at risk of tripping over uneven or broken roadways and being injured.

Steps to Take After a Car Accident

1 Check for Injuries

Ensure everyone’s safety and call 911 if medical attention is needed.​

Common injuries caused by parking lot accidents

Most accidents in parking facilities are low-speed events limited to damage to the vehicles involved in them. Injuries in low-speed collisions usually are minor and limited to bruises, scrapes, and lacerations. However, serious personal injuries, particularly when a speeding vehicle hits a pedestrian, can occur. Common injuries include:
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
Lacerations resulting in scarring and disfigurement
Broken bones
Injuries to internal organs
Neck and back injuries

Recoverable damages

The victim of a parking lot accident who suffers serious injuries could be entitled to receive compensation from the negligent party causing the accident. Typical damages include the following:
Recovery of past and future medical expenses
Lost earnings due to the injury, including earnings lost in the future from disability
Pain and suffering
Physical and occupational therapy costs
Permanent full or partial disability

What to Do After a Car Accident: Detailed Steps

Knowing what to do in the moments after a crash can protect your health, your rights, and your ability to recover compensation. Here’s a practical breakdown of the steps to follow—and where to find more in-depth info if you need it:
1

Get Medical Attention

Always get checked out, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline can mask serious injuries, and having medical records is crucial to any claim.
2

Call the Police and Get an Accident Report

A police report documents the scene, identifies the parties involved, and can help determine fault. This will be one of the key documents needed later in your case.
3

Gather Evidence at the Scene

4

Secure Dash Cam Footage

5

Collect and Organize Important Documents

In the days following your accident, start compiling all relevant documents: police reports, medical records, repair estimates, insurance communications, and anything else related to your crash and injuries.
6

Notify Your Insurance Company

Report the accident to your insurer, but stick to the facts. Avoid speculating or admitting fault. If you’re unsure what to say, a car accident attorney from KFB Law can help guide you.

Determining who is at fault in a parking lot accident

Accidents in which multiple parties are at fault can be complicated. An experienced parking lot accident lawyer will help investigate your accident and determine all of the appropriate parties at fault and file claims against them.

For example, a claim for damages could be made by a pedestrian who was injured by a driver who swerves to avoid a pothole and also against the owner of the parking facility for failing to repair the pavement. An experienced Tampa parking lot accident attorney can determine from the facts. We can investigate whether a parking lot accident was caused by a defective condition or by the negligent conduct of one or more of the vehicles involved.

No matter who you think is at fault when an accident occurs, it’s important to collect as much information as possible as soon as possible. This will provide stronger evidence for your claim. If you’re ever involved in a parking lot accident, be sure to:
Take pictures, and not just of the vehicles and their license plates—skid marks and vehicle debris can also serve as useful evidence
Get names and contact information from eyewitnesses 
If the cause of the accident is disputed, the surrounding stores may have security camera footage you can check to set the record straight—this footage can also be used to identify a driver in the case of a hit and run accident

What to do in the event of a Tampa parking lot accident

If you have been injured in a parking lot accident, you should immediately seek medical care. If you’re able, you should also contact and await the arrival of the police. Florida law requires drivers involved in an accident causing severe physical injuries to remain at the scene and report the accident to the police.

Police in some states will not investigate accidents on private property, including parking facilities. However, Florida law authorizes police to respond to parking lot accidents involving injuries even in situations in which the parking facility is private property.

While waiting for the police or emergency medical personnel to arrive, refrain from making statements about your injuries or physical condition to anyone at the scene. Some injuries, such as concussions and other head injuries, can be more serious than they might appear to be right after the accident. An evaluation by a medical professional may be necessary to determine the nature and extent of your injuries.

    Legal Hurdle: Injured by an Uninsured Motorist

    Our client was driving through an intersection when another driver ran a red light and crashed into their vehicle. The impact caused serious whiplash and a lower back injury, leading to ongoing pain and the need for medical treatment and therapy. To make matters worse, the at-fault driver had no insurance, which created a major roadblock for receiving compensation. Despite having their own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy, our client quickly realized that the minimum $10,000 limit wouldn’t be enough to cover all expenses. They came to us unsure of their rights or how to recover damages when the other driver had no coverage.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
Nearly 2. 5 years ago I was rear ended by a commercial truck causing injuries that would effect me a life time. With the help of Mr. Manny Fernandez and his staff they made this process easier than I could’ve imagined. They were by my side the entire time and kept me up to date with the latest development. He himself would call to check on me periodically, especially after both back surgeries. The KF&B group always had my best interest at heart. Once again many thanks to Manny Fernandez and staff at the KF&B group.

I had two car accidents from within 2017 and 2018. The first one is where I got hit by a tow truck. He got in my lane and hit me. Then the second accident was where a drunk driver hit me in the rear end. I cannot work anymore because of this. I have tried to work and make money to live on. I called the law office and they took my case right away. I just want to say that I am so happy with the results. I am now able to have some peace of mind. They helped with the medical portion as well as I am still in the recovery process. Thank you so much for helping me with my two car accidents. The very best I would say and so much more

Marcus Fernandez was amazing. I have been in two car accidents that were not my fault. He handled both accidents with respect, and strength. Mr. Fernandez did an outstanding job with ensuring that I was aware of every move, every response from the other insurance carrier, what our next steps were going to be, including doing the full mediation to settle out of court for me!! I appreciate all his help!! I highly recommend Kinney, Fernandez, and Boire!!!! This law firm is a great group of individuals who care about their clients and are determined to get results!!!!
