A parking lot is typically a place you expect to get in and out of with little hassle so that you can go about your day. It may be one of the last places you expect to get into an accident, but unfortunately, it can happen. Although cars tend to drive slower in parking lots, even a low-speed collision can still result in personal injuries and/or damage to your vehicle.
Filing a Personal Injury Claim in Frisco
Car accidents fall within the purview of personal injury law in the United States. Just as with other suits, the plaintiff in a personal injury case has a set amount of time to file a claim. In Frisco, there is a two-year statute of limitations if a plaintiff is looking to file a suit and recover damages, according to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003. If a plaintiff is eligible to file a claim, they would then need to present evidence that shows they are no more than 50 percent at fault for the accident in order to recover compensation. Under the modified comparative fault system enforced by Texas state law, if a plaintiff is found to bear 51 percent or more of the total fault for their injuries, their claim would no longer be valid. Hiring a Frisco parking lot car accident attorney could make it easier to get a claim filed with all the proper information.
