Security-Widefield Parking Lot Injury Lawyers For Falls And Pedestrian Crashes
McCormick & Murphy are Security-Widefield parking lot injury lawyers for people hurt in a parking lot. We file in El Paso County Combined Courts.
Potholes, cracked pavement, damaged wheel stops, poor lighting, and ice patches in a parking lot are property conditions covered by Colorado's premises liability statute, C.R.S. § 13‑21‑115. If a property owner or manager in Security-Widefield lets one of these hazards sit unaddressed and it causes a fall or injury, that owner may be liable.
Parking lots also see a different kind of harm: a person struck by a moving vehicle while walking to or from their car. That situation usually points to a claim against the driver, not the property owner. A separate premises claim against the property owner only holds up if a dangerous condition of the lot itself contributed to the incident, such as no lighting where a driver could not see a pedestrian, or a layout that made it hard to see cross-traffic.
We do not tell clients that a property owner is automatically responsible whenever a driver hits someone in a lot along U.S. Highway 85, Bradley Road, Fontaine Boulevard, or Widefield Boulevard. Liability in that scenario depends on the facts, and we look closely at both the driver's conduct and any property condition before deciding who to pursue.
What Proves A Parking Lot Hazard Caused Your Injury
For a fall or injury tied to a lot defect, we look for photos of the pothole, wheel stop, ice patch, or dark area, along with anything showing how long the condition existed. Prior complaints to management, maintenance logs, or other people who tripped or slipped in the same spot can help establish the owner knew or should have known about the hazard.
For a vehicle-pedestrian incident in a lot, we gather witness accounts, any available surveillance footage, and details about lighting and lot layout at the time. We do not guess at when a repair should have happened. We build the claim from what the evidence actually shows about the condition and the timeline.
- Photograph the pothole, wheel stop, ice, or dark area from multiple angles
- Get names and contact information for any witnesses
- Ask the business if they have surveillance video and request it be preserved
- Keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing if you fell
- Get medical care and follow up on your treatment plan

What The Evidence Needs To Show In Your Parking Lot Claim
Do I need Security-Widefield parking lot injury lawyers after an injury?
Call Security-Widefield parking lot injury lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The nearest office is at 929 W Colorado Ave, Colorado Springs, CO 80905.
I was hit by a car in a parking lot. Do I sue the store or the driver?
In most cases the driver bears responsibility for a vehicle-pedestrian incident. A claim against the property owner only applies if a dangerous condition of the lot, like poor lighting or a hidden blind spot, played a role. We review the specific layout and facts before deciding who to pursue.
I tripped over a wheel stop in a Security-Widefield lot. Is that a valid claim?
It can be, if the wheel stop was damaged, misplaced, or hard to see and the property owner knew or should have known about it. We look at photos, lighting conditions, and any prior complaints to evaluate the claim.
How do I prove the ice or pothole had been there a while?
Photos with visible debris, dirt buildup, or deterioration can help, along with witness statements from people who noticed the condition before your injury. Prior complaints to the property manager or business can also support the claim.
What if the lot had no lighting at night?
Poor or absent lighting is a property condition that can support a premises claim, especially if it contributed to a fall or made it hard for drivers to see pedestrians. We gather evidence about the lighting setup and any history of complaints about it.
