Parking lot accidents happen very frequently. According to the National Safety Council, pedestrian deaths made up 17.9 percent of all motor vehicle accident deaths in 2023. Drivers go tearing through empty lots at high speeds, back up without looking, drive through parking spaces instead of lanes, or simply don’t pay attention when they pull into a spot. Injuries from these accidents can range from minor bruises to serious trauma and even death.
