Who is Liable for a Slip and Fall in a Parking Lot? | Discussion w/ an Orlando Slip and Fall Lawyer

This video explores the important topic of liability in cases of slip and fall or trip and fall accidents occurring in parking lots. These accidents, caused by poorly maintained parking areas, are more common than one might assume and can lead to severe injuries.

Various factors contribute to unsafe parking lot conditions. Over time, parking lots can degrade due to cracking and crumbling of the surface. Large chunks may shift, creating uneven terrain, while potholes can deepen, creating potential tripping hazards. Thus, without regular maintenance, parking lots can transform into obstacle courses full of hazards.

Parking lots can also become slippery due to fluid leakage from vehicles. Accumulated oil and other fluids can create slick spots, especially hazardous in wet weather. These slick areas significantly contribute to serious accidents in business parking lots.

Parking lot lines present another potential risk. During the repainting process, old lines are often ground off or painted over with dark paint. The grinding process can result in highly polished, slippery surfaces, and the use of non-aggregated paint can also increase the risk of slips and falls. As a result, even the parking lot lines can pose substantial dangers.

In terms of liability, the instinctual assumption might be that the business owner is responsible. However, it's crucial to consider that the business may not own the parking lot. Liability may rest with the company responsible for maintaining the parking lot, the company painting the lines, or even the company that constructed the parking lot. Therefore, multiple parties may potentially be liable in the event of parking lot injuries.
