Parking Lot Crashes and Injury Risks in Virginia
Parking lot accidents—such as the one at McDonald’s on N Newtown Rd—may occur at lower speeds but still carry a serious risk of injury. Collisions between SUVs and larger trucks, like a Ford Super Duty, often result in forceful impacts that can injure occupants even when vehicles are maneuvering at slow speeds.
Parking areas pose unique dangers due to blind spots, limited space, unclear right-of-way, and frequent pedestrian crossings. Many of these incidents occur during routine errands, making them all the more unexpected and disorienting for those involved.
Injuries from parking lot crashes can include back injuries, concussions, whiplash, and more—especially when seat belts may not be secured or airbags fail to deploy at low speed. Victims may also experience stress and confusion over how to handle insurance, repairs, or liability issues in a private commercial lot.
It’s critical for those injured in such crashes to seek medical evaluation as symptoms may worsen over time. Additionally, documentation—photos, witness statements, and a formal report—can play a major role in pursuing fair compensation.
If you or someone close to you has been hurt in a parking lot crash in Norfolk, taking early action can ease the burden of recovery.
