People usually assume that accidents happen on roads, highways, bridges, etc but one of the most common places where they do occur is in a parking lot. This includes both motor-vehicle accidents and slip and fall accidents. Many of them result in minor injuries, but a significant percentage of parking lot accidents cause serious injuries, disabilities and death. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries or impairment in a parking lot accident, contact a North York personal injury lawyer as early as possible once the medical emergency has been attended to. Accidents result from another person’s fault or negligence and victims are entitled to seek compensation by means of a personal injury claim.
Parking lots could be busy places, with vehicles moving in and out, obstacles like shopping carts and goods placed haphazardly, children and seniors emerging unexpectedly from behind parked vehicles etc. Or they could be lonely areas, poorly-lit and badly-maintained, with liquid spillage, cracked floors and dangerous debris strewn around. The premises owner has a duty of care to ensure that the place is safe and secure for visitors. Many of them are privately-owned and not covered by the highway traffic acts. Establishing ownership and liability can be a challenging task and our North York car accident lawyer and North York slip and fall accident lawyer can assist victims to do this. Personal injury claims are complex processes and difficult for ordinary people to undertake without the advice of personal injury lawyers.
