Parking Lot Accidents in Michigan: Low Speed, Real Injuries
Parking lot crashes seem minor but can cause real harm and surprisingly complex fault questions.
Why Fault Is Tricky in Lots
With vehicles backing, turning, and crossing in all directions, parking lot fault often depends on right-of-way in lanes versus parking aisles.
Pedestrian Risks
Pedestrians are common in lots, and low-speed strikes can still cause serious injuries, especially to children and the elderly.
Documenting a Lot Crash
Surveillance footage and witness accounts are especially valuable in parking lots. Michigan follows modified comparative negligence: your damages are reduced by your share of fault, and being more than 50% at fault bars recovery of noneconomic damages.
