Causes of Parking Lot Accidents in NJ

Parking lot accidents happen more frequently than we may realize. There are a number of different reasons that these accidents may happen. Many of these accidents are the result of parking lot owner negligence. Some of the different causes of parking lot accidents in New Jersey include the following:

  • Snow or ice left unattended
  • Potholes
  • Uneven surfaces
  • Poor lighting
  • Debris
  • Inadequate security

What should I do after a parking lot accident?

After being injured in a parking lot accident, you may not know what to do. First, it is important to contact the police immediately so you can file a report. The officer who arrives on the scene will create official documentation of the dangerous conditions that resulted in your accident. It is also important to receive immediate medical attention after being involved in a parking lot accident, even if your injuries don’t initially seem very serious. This can help document your injuries, which is critical when dealing with the insurance company. Additionally, if you can, take photos or videos of the scene of the accident before leaving to help fulfill the burden of proof in your case.

Statute of Limitations

In the state of New Jersey, all personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of the accident. This deadline is referred to as the statute of limitations. If you fail to meet New Jersey’s statute of limitations, you will lose the opportunity to recover significant damages that can help offset some of the physical, emotional, and financial burdens associated with your accident. It is also important to note that if the parking lot is owned by a municipality, you may face additional challenges and may be required to submit a Notice of Claim within a much shorter deadline. Do not hesitate to contact our office to get started on your case as soon as possible.
