Parking lots that are connected to stores, shopping malls and other retail facilities are considered part of a business owner’s property. Under Missouri law, property owners have a legal obligation to maintain parking lots and ramps, including sidewalks and stairwells, to ensure that they are safe for public use. When safety concerns are neglected or ignored, parking lot accidents can occur that result in serious injuries.

If you have been injured in a parking lot accident, you may be entitled to seek monetary damages for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other expenses.

What Are Property Owners Responsibilities to Maintain Safe Parking Lots?

While not every accident can be foreseen, there are many steps that property owners can take to make parking lots and garages as safe possible.

Preventative measures may include:

  • Adequate lighting
  • Proper removal of ice and snow
  • Posting of warning signs about turns, blind spots and other hazards
  • Security guards
  • Stairwell safety
  • Sidewalks and crosswalks
  • Properly maintained surfaces
  • Keeping area free of debris

It is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. Evidence must be secured before it disappears.
