Common Causes of Parking Lot Accidents in Brooklyn
Collisions in parking lots, including those at busy shopping centers like Wegmans, often occur due to:
- Driver distraction: Using phones, GPS adjustments, or attending to other passengers.
- Failure to yield: Vehicles may not notice pedestrians at crosswalks or lot entrances.
- Poor visibility: Vehicles backing up or blind spots between parked cars can contribute to accidents.
- Speeding in parking lots: Even low-speed collisions can cause serious injuries to pedestrians.
- Rushed or inattentive pedestrians: People walking while distracted may misjudge vehicle paths.
Parking lot accidents can result in significant injuries, unexpected medical costs, and long recovery periods. Even careful pedestrians and drivers can be affected when others act negligently.
