Making a compensation claim for a car park accident

Car accidents can often occur in car parks as a result of people reversing their vehicles without proper care, driving in the wrong direction and speeding in small confined spaces. Car park accidents can also be caused by a driver's lack of concentration - they may be in a hurry, talking on the phone or generally unaware of other vehicles around them.

A pedestrian walking through a car park is also at risk from being involved in car accident and could potentially require the services of a personal injury solicitor to make a compensation claim for serious, if not permanent injuries.

Car park accidents in the news
A pensioner from Gwent, Wales, was killed when he drove his blue Vauxhall Astra into several parked vehicles and a concrete bollard in a car park in Blackwood. The 79-year-old was rushed to hospital but later died from serious personal injuries.

In another car park in Midhurst, West Sussex, two pedestrians sustained car accident injuries when a 77-year-old man hit both of them with his automatic Peugeot. The pensioner escaped unharmed but the 47-year-old woman and 57-year-old man were taken to hospital and received treatment for leg injuries. The couple may have later decided to contact compensation solicitors and made no win, no fee accident claims.

How can car accidents be prevented?
Whether in a busy car park of on the street, it can become extremely frustrating when you're driving around trying to find a parking space.

In New York, this problem has been solved with the development of a new type of car park, which in the future could reduce the number of road traffic accidents from occurring and limit the amount of personal injury compensation claims being made. The city claims that it has solved its difficult parking problem with the introduction of its first robotic car park in Chinatown, where up to 67 cars can be stored in an apartment-building basement that would usually only be able to accommodate 24 vehicles.

The car park works by using lasers and radar sensors to park the vehicle onto pallets, which are then stacked one on top of the other. A motorist can easily drive up to the car park, park their vehicle onto the pallet, and then once they have left the vehicle it is shuffled into a spare parking space.

According to the creators of the robotic car park, the likelihood of any vehicle being involved in car accident is virtually impossible; however, this luxury comes with a monthly charge of $400 or $25 per day.
