If you sustain an injury in a public car park – or in one which is managed by a business (supermarket, sports venue, restaurant etc) – and your injury has occurred due to a lack of care by the car park management, you may be entitled to make car park injury claims for compensation. A claim for car park injury compensation has to demonstrate that you slipped, tripped or fell due to a lack of care by the car park management who neglected to remove or clear the hazard which caused your accident. Many car park injury claims are complicated by disputes over liability, and for this reason it is recommended that you speak with a personal injury lawyer at the earliest possible opportunity.
