Parking lot accidents can appear insignificant in the moment, with minimal damage to the vehicles and no obvious signs of injury. However, the injuries can become more apparent over time and have a long-term impact on your life.

Determining fault for a parking lot accident can be difficult, depending on the circumstances. The owner of a vehicle is generally liable for any injuries that result from its negligent or wrongful operation under California Vehicle Code § 17150. Examples of driver negligence that could establish a vehicle owner’s liability for a parking lot collision in Stockton may include the following:
Our lawyers can help investigate the events leading up to an accident to determine which parties may be responsible for the collision. We can look at key evidence, including police reports, videos, photos, and witness statements. In addition to a negligent driver, the owner of a parking lot could also be liable for failing to maintain the parking lot or for allowing conditions that contributed to the accident.
California applies a comparative fault rule under California Civil Code § 1714 when multiple parties are responsible for causing an accident, including the injured person seeking compensation. A jury will assign each party a percentage of fault in these cases, which can impact an injured person’s financial recovery. Our lawyers help clients understand how claims of comparative fault can affect their potential compensation and develop strategies for addressing these issues in a well-negotiated settlement or advocating for their position at trial.
