Parking Lot Accident Claims Guide
How to file a parking lot accident lawsuit.
Call 911 for Injuries
Call 911 for any injuries. Even minor parking lot accidents should have a police report filed. This documents the scene officially.
Document the Scene
Take photos and videos of vehicles, damage, the parking lot conditions, lighting, potholes, and any obstructed sightlines. Get photos before anything moves.
Request Security Footage
Most parking lots have security cameras. Request footage preservation from the property owner in writing immediately - footage is often deleted within days.
Get Witness Information
Collect contact information from other witnesses. Note who the property owner is and get security/management contact information.
Consult Premises Attorney
Parking lot cases can involve multiple liable parties. An experienced attorney can identify all defendants and preserve critical evidence.
