It’s no fun being hit by any type of vehicle, especially if you are a pedestrian. The worst thing about car accidents is that you can never tell when you are at the receiving end of a negligent driver’s bad driving or poor observation skills. If you are injured through no fault of your own you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation against whoever was to blame for the accident.
Talk to an experienced personal injury attorney about your accident and the injuries you have suffered as soon as you are able to do so.
Hotel Parking Lots are Not Necessarily Always Safe
No busy hotel parking lot is necessarily safe. It’s not the design of the parking lot or the fact that it serves a particular hotel. It’s just that there is always the possibility that someone is not looking where they are going when they drive around or park their cars.
Parking lots are inevitably places where there is often constant interaction between moving and parked vehicles and people walking through the lot. The trouble is that people are not as vigilant as they should be in a parking lot and don’t always consider the possibility that they could hit someone as they drive around or back out of a tight parking spot.
Injuries can be quite severe, especially if the person who is hit is on two feet when struck. As a pedestrian victim of a parking lot accident, you can be dragged under a car, driven over or just knocked down.
Whatever the accident, injuries may mean expensive medical treatment is necessary, and that may mean you cannot go back to work straight away. Serious damage to any of the internal organs, the spine or the brain may mean much longer term treatment and support is necessary.
Use Professional Legal Help if You Decide to Sue
If you have sufficient evidence to back up a lawsuit against whoever caused your injuries you should use an experienced personal injury attorney too give you valuable advice and help pursue the claim on your behalf.
An experienced attorney will have dealt with claims like yours many times before and will know both how to help establish their negligence and how to negotiate with the party at fault and their insurance company.
Usually, claims for compensation can be settled without going to court but are more likely to be successful if you have professional legal help on your side.
