CAR ACCIDENT GUIDE
Parking Lot Accident: What to Do Even When It Looks Minor.
Parking lot crashes often happen at low speed, but they can still cause damage, injuries and disputes about who was backing up, who had the right of way or whether the other vehicle was parked.

What to preserve from the start
- Look for property cameras and ask how video can be preserved.
- Photograph arrows, signs, parking spaces and exit positions.
- Exchange information even if damage looks minor.
- If a parked vehicle was hit and the driver left, document the location and report the incident.
Why this kind of crash can become complicated
- The fact that it happened on private property does not make documentation irrelevant.
- Hidden damage can appear when parts are removed.
- Parking-lot policies do not replace rules applicable to the crash.
Build a simple timeline
Write down the date, approximate time, location, vehicles involved and the sequence as you remember it. Then add reports, photos, medical care, insurance calls and new documents as they appear. A simple timeline is usually more useful than trying to reconstruct everything weeks later.
