Causes of parking lot collisions in Tampa
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:

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:
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 lot and parking garage 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.

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:
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:

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:

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.

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
Addison Hobbs
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!!!!

Car Accident
If two cars back up at the same time and hit each other, who is at fault?
Florida uses a comparative negligence system, meaning that you must be able to prove the other driver backing into your car was 51% or more at fault. Determining that percentage of fault depends on factors like who started backing up first, whether either vehicle stopped before the collision, and how quickly each car backed up based on evidence from witnesses and/or security cameras.
Can a lawyer help with hit-and-run accidents that happen in parking lots/parking garages?
Yes. While law enforcement generally handles investigating and identifying the driver, a lawyer can help with the insurance and legal side of the claim, including preserving evidence, dealing with insurers, and pursuing compensation for property damage or injuries.
If I’m injured, who is going to pay for my medical expenses?
Because there are several ways to help with your medical treatment costs, we’ll first examine your auto insurance policy and use your PIP (personal injury protection benefits). It’s essential to seek medical treatment within 14 days of an accident. You could risk losing up to $7,500 in medical benefits if you don’t.
If you have health insurance, we could use that to help pay for your care. We also look to the person who caused your car accident because many factors come into play when determining who and when your medical care costs will be paid. Rest assured, your Tampa parking lot accident attorney will fully advise you on this matter, as we know how important it is.

How much is hiring a parking lot accident attorney going to cost?
There’s no need to worry about being able to afford legal help. Your initial consultation with KFB Law is always free. Plus, we only charge a contingency fee – meaning we’ll only collect a percentage of what we win for you. If we don’t win, you won’t pay.
What happens when multiple parties are liable?
Sometimes, a single Tampa vehicle wreck could cause more than one death. Or someone drove a car into an intersection—and then another vehicle T-boned you. Or suppose your accident happened because of improper compliance with a construction zone. Employers and multiple drivers may be jointly at fault in these scenarios, and we strongly recommend legal guidance.
What if I think it was my fault?
If you believe you were at fault for a car accident in Florida, you should secure legal representation if the other party was severely injured or if they have threatened to sue.
While your own car insurance company may cover some of the damages, if the other party threatens to hold you personally liable, a personal injury lawyer can help guide and protect you throughout the process.
Florida follows a pure comparative negligence law, which means that a person can recover damages for an injury even if they are partially at fault for the accident. Under this system, the amount of damages a person can recover will be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to them. For example, if a person is awarded $100,000 in damages for an automobile accident, but it is determined that they were 20% at fault for the accident, their recovery would be reduced by 20%, and they would only receive $80,000.

How much can I get for a car accident claim?
This will depend on the specific circumstances of the car accident lawsuit and the injuries or damages sustained. Factors that can affect the potential settlement or award in a car accident case include the severity of the injuries, the amount of medical expenses incurred, lost wages and earning capacity, and the extent of property damage. Other factors, such as comparative fault, contributory negligence, and insurance policy limits, also affect the value of a claim.
