Parking Garage Accidents
Although people are more inclined to worry about car accidents that happen on major roadways or highways when cars traveling at high speeds, this may cause them to overlook the nearly 15 percent of all accidents involve at least one parked car. Because of the large quantity of cars in a confined area, parking garages are the site of many car accidents each year. Multi-level parking structures can be a dangerous place if the individuals who are driving in them fail to exercise sufficient caution.
Limited visibility and a high density of automotive and pedestrian traffic make it important for motorists to remain alert to their surroundings when in a parking garage. The failure to do so is likely to result in an accident. If you or someone you love has been injured in a parking garage accident, it may be possible to seek financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
