Parked Car Accidents
Most car accidents occur when vehicles are in movement, but this does not always have to be the case. In fact, some accidents involve a parked car and occur when another driver runs into a parked car, possibly injuring those inside or near the vehicle. These accidents might be rare, but when they do affect someone, they can cause just as much damage to a person’s physical health and his or her vehicle as any other car accident.
Where Parked Car Accidents Happen
Parked car accidents can happen anywhere, but these accidents are often seen time and again in recurring locations. For instance, many parked car accidents happen in:
- Situations of heavy traffic / rush-hour traffic
- Parking lots
- Airport drop-off locations
- Areas with lots of taxis and pedestrians
- Residential neighborhoods with narrow streets
A parked car accident is more likely to happen in these instances than in many others. If a person or people are in the parked car, then the risk for injury is also magnified, especially if a driver who hits a parked car is driving at high speeds. However, even if people aren’t in the car, the owner could still be facing thousands of dollars in damages.
