Hit in a Wyndham Parking Lot*

Car accidents injure hundreds of people across the United States daily. However, many of these accidents do not take place on busy roads or heavily traveled streets. Serious injuries can occur when individuals are hit by vehicles in parking lots. Even an individual sitting in their vehicle when it is struck in a parking lot could be hurt. If the other driver was negligent, you might be able to pursue a personal injury claim to recover your damages. If your injuries are serious, you might be able to recoup compensation to cover the cost of your losses.

These are high traffic properties, so vehicles are constantly entering and exiting. The odds of being hit by a car in the parking lot are high.

Injuries that Can Result from a Parking Lot Accident

You are vulnerable when you are walking from your vehicle to your hotel. This is a high traffic area, and cars will be entering and exiting, maneuvering around parked vehicles, and backing out of parking spaces. Sometimes drivers are distracted or tired and fail to exercise due care. Racing to an empty parking spot or trying to pull into a spot or back out of one can be risky in a busy parking lot. Common injuries from a parking lot might include:

  • Cuts and bruises
  • Broken bones
  • Internal injuries

If you are sitting in your parked vehicle in the parking lot and are hit from behind, you could suffer serious injuries.

A Personal Injury Attorney Can Deal with a Claim Better Than You Can

If you have been hit in a parking lot, you should know that personal injury claims are not cut and dry. Even if it seems simple, you will have to show negligence and the process can be challenging. You must show the other party was at fault and your damages were caused by that accident. A personal injury attorney is knowledgeable about handling parking lot accident claims and can determine if you have a valid claim.
