Can You Sue for Falling in a Parking Lot? Margot Cutter Explains
Video Transcript
You can sue if you trip and fall or slip and fall in a parking lot. Maybe it depends if the property owner has kept the property in a reasonably safe condition. Property owners and managers have a responsibility to keep their parking lots free of hazards and reasonably safe for people that come into them. Common causes of parking lot injuries are slippery substances that can be spilled, uneven surfaces, cracks in the pavement, or unpainted curbs that are not visible, and poor lighting are some of the common causes of people slipping and falling or tripping and falling in parking lots. And those are circumstances where you may be able to hold the property owner or manager liable for your injuries.
