Car Accidents in Utah
Parking lot collisions happen more often than many people think. According to the Utah Department of Public Safety, a notable portion of injury-related crashes in Utah occur in parking lots or private drives. Low-speed accidents may seem minor, but they can still cause significant harm—especially when multiple vehicles are involved.
Here are a few unique dangers of parking lot crashes:
- Limited Visibility: Parked cars, tight spaces, and blind spots make it difficult for drivers to see cross traffic or pedestrians before backing out or turning.
- Right-of-Way Confusion: Many drivers are unsure of who has the right of way in parking lots, which leads to hesitation or aggressive maneuvers.
- Pedestrian Risk: Shoppers and employees walking to or from their vehicles can be caught between cars during a crash, leading to serious injuries.
- Distracted Driving: Drivers often lower their guard in parking lots, using phones or looking for a spot rather than paying attention to moving vehicles.
- Tight Maneuvering: With limited space, sharp turns or misjudged distances between cars can easily lead to sideswipes or front-end impacts.
