Frequently Asked Questions
Why is distracted driving a common factor in parking lot crashes?
Parking lots involve frequent stops, pedestrians, and tight turns, so a brief lapse in attention, such as checking a phone, can lead to a collision even at low speeds.
How do road or lot conditions contribute to these crashes?
Poor lighting, wet pavement, and congestion from pick-up or drop-off traffic can all make it harder for drivers to see pedestrians or other vehicles in time to stop.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Georgetown, Delaware
If you're involved in a crash in a school or parking lot setting, start by checking yourself and anyone nearby for injuries, then move somewhere safe if the vehicles can be moved. Call 911 even for what looks like a minor collision, since responders can document the scene and make sure everyone gets checked out. Get the names and contact information of anyone involved or who saw what happened, and take photos of the vehicles and surroundings if you're able. Afterward, follow up with a doctor for a full evaluation, since injuries like concussions or soft-tissue strain aren't always obvious right away. Keep a copy of the incident report for your records once it's released.
