Hire a Boca Raton Parking Lot Lawyer to Fight for Just Compensation on Your Behalf

If you have been injured in a parking lot accident, recovering your losses will most likely involve dealing with the insurance companies. Not only can this be frustrating, but it can also be dangerous if you aren’t careful. The insurance companies are not on your side, and they will do everything they can to avoid paying for your injuries. But, with an experienced Boca Raton parking lot lawyer representing you, you can recover the financial compensation you deserve.

Filing a Claim for a Car Accident in a Parking Lot

Filing a claim for a car accident in a parking lot is a multi-step process that requires prompt action. The longer you wait to take action, the more difficult it can become to prove your legal rights. When you hire a Boca Raton parking lot lawyer at The Grife Law Firm to represent you, your lawyer will promptly take steps including:

1. Determining the Cause of the Accident

The first step toward recovering your losses is to determine the cause of the accident. Parking lot accidents can have various causes, and you need to know the specific cause of your accident in order to file a claim for liability. When your lawyer investigates your accident, your lawyer will look for evidence of common causes including:

• Careless or reckless driving
• Distracted driving
• Poor parking lot design (i.e., visual obstructions or inadequate pavement markings)
• Inadequate parking lot maintenance

2. Determining What Claim(s) You Can File

After determining why your parking lot accident happened, then your lawyer can determine what claim (or claims) you can file. There are multiple possibilities, and depending on the circumstances, it may be necessary to file multiple claims in order to fully recover your accident-related losses. For example, your lawyer may need to file one or more claims against:

• The other driver’s auto insurance company
• Your auto insurance company
• The company that owns the parking lot
• The company that rents the parking lot

3. Calculating Your Losses

Along with determining what claim (or claims) you can file, your lawyer will also need to determine how much you are entitled to recover. This will involve calculating the total losses you have incurred—and will incur—as a result of the crash. Recoverable losses in parking lot cases include medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other financial and non-financial losses.

4. Fighting for Just Compensation

Finally, after taking the necessary steps to establish your legal rights, your lawyer will fight for just compensation on your behalf. Your lawyer will work to obtain a favorable settlement, and if an acceptable settlement isn’t on the table, your lawyer will take your case to court.
