Parking lots are the scene of many pedestrian accidents because of the close proximity of people and cars and the confusing traffic patterns that sometimes exist. In addition to pedestrian-vehicle collisions, many trip and fall accidents occur in parking lots as well. These can be caused by the presence of low parking bumpers, poor lighting or a person’s inattentiveness. In most instances, when a serious accident occurs, the design and maintenance of the parking lot must be considered to determine if it was deficient and contributed to the accident. These investigations typically consider parking stall layout, crosswalks, wheel stops, travel arrows, signs and sight issues.
