What are the most frequent causes of parking lot accidents?
Parking lot accidents can happen for many different reasons. Oftentimes, auto accidents happen in parking lots, either involving two vehicles or one vehicle and a pedestrian. However, many accidents also occur due to negligent property owners who fail to remove or fix various safety hazards in a timely fashion, causing unsuspecting passersby to sustain serious injuries.
What should I do if I am injured in a Florida parking lot accident?
There are few things more jarring than being injured in a parking lot accident, though if you can, you should take the following steps:
- First, call the police.
- Next, take pictures of the unsafe conditions that caused your accident.
- Then, ask anyone who saw your accident occur for their contact information.
- Once you are treated at a hospital, ask your doctor for all medical documentation pertaining to your injuries.
- Finally, retain the services of an experienced Orlando personal injury attorney who has the experience needed to gather and present all other evidence required to satisfy the burden of proof.

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Florida?
The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Florida is, generally, four years, which gives the wrongly injured four years from the date of their accident to take legal action against the party responsible. Do not make the mistake of waiting past the four-year part, for if you do, you will most likely be barred from suing. We can begin the claims process today. All you have to do is ask.
