Car Accidents in Michigan

Every year in Michigan, thousands of crashes take place in retail parking lots and commercial driveways. Despite slower speeds, these accidents still pose serious injury risks. With high foot traffic, frequent vehicle movement, and narrow lanes, parking areas often become hotspots for collisions and fender benders. These spaces demand a high level of attention from both drivers and pedestrians alike.

Crashes in parking lots highlight a few important safety concerns. Here’s a closer look at common hazards and why they matter:

• Low-Speed Impact Injuries: Even when traveling slowly, vehicles can cause bruises, whiplash, or fractures—especially when striking someone on foot or a cyclist moving between cars.
• Limited Visibility: Large trucks, signage, or parked SUVs may obstruct a driver’s view of oncoming traffic or pedestrians, leading to sudden crashes during turns or backing maneuvers.
• Distracted Driving: Drivers using phones, adjusting settings, or chatting with passengers often overlook stop signs or crosswalks inside parking areas.
• Pedestrian Right-of-Way Confusion: Some drivers fail to yield to pedestrians outside the store entrance, creating risk zones in busy foot traffic paths.
• Vehicle Dooring Incidents: Parked drivers opening their doors into oncoming cars or cyclists can result in surprise collisions and injury.

If you or someone you care about was hurt in a situation like this, it’s worth speaking to a car accident attorney about your options.

Accidents in commercial zones can quickly become complicated—especially when they involve private property, surveillance footage, or insurance questions. Reaching out to an attorney early can help you build a strong case, collect evidence, and determine who may be at fault. Whether you were driving, walking, or riding a bike, your rights deserve to be protected and taken seriously from the beginning.
