Parking lots may seem like low-speed zones of safety—but in New York City, they can be
accident-prone danger zones, especially during the holiday shopping rush, winter
weather, and weekend events.If you were injured in a NYC parking lot accident, the question is: who’s
responsible—and how do you prove it?
At Keith D. Silverstein & Associates, P.C., our legal team has helped countless
accident victims across NYC recover compensation after being injured in parking lots,
garages, and private lots due to driver negligence, poor maintenance, or unsafe
design.
Common Causes of Parking Lot Accidents in NYC
Many of the most serious parking lot incidents involve:
- Drivers backing into pedestrians or other vehicles
- Distracted drivers using GPS or texting
- Poorly lit areas leading to slip-and-fall hazards
- Snow, ice, or wet surfaces not cleared in time
- Improper signage or faded lane markings
- Reckless speeding through compact parking lots
Can You Sue for a Parking Lot Injury in NYC?
Yes—if your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to
compensation. Depending on the situation, several parties could be held responsible,
including:
- Another driver
- Property owner or management company
- Business tenant (e.g., a store or mall)
- Snow/ice removal contractor
- Security or maintenance staff
Slip and Falls in Parking Lots: Who Is at Fault?

injuries. Property owners in New York have a legal “duty of care” to keep their premises
reasonably safe.

- uncleared snow or black ice
- hidden potholes
- broken curbs or uneven pavement
- lack of lighting at night
…you may have a premises liability case. Our team can investigate maintenance
records, surveillance footage, and weather history to build your claim from the ground up
