Accidents In Parking Lots And Parking Garages In California

Few people realize how dangerous parking lots and parking garages can be. Drivers and passengers walking to and from parked cars are highly vulnerable to pedestrian accidents.

These accidents often result in serious injuries and fatalities. The motor vehicle accident attorneys of Martinez & Schill LLP are experienced in handling car accident cases of all kinds. If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed in an accident in a parking lot or garage, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
