Lighting issues and potential liabilities

Parking Lot’s are often high traffic areas with a mix of vehicle and foot traffic. Depending on the location and time of year often times are shaded or covered areas. This can lead to poor and obstructed vision leading to bad and potentially dangerous conditions. Fender benders are common occurrences in even the most well-lit parking lot’s let alone one with poor lighting. Worse yet accidents involving vehicles and people could lead to injuries, lawsuits, and unwanted hospital bills.

Security

Another common issue with parking lots is vandalism. This can be something as simple as physical damage to vehicles and or property to theft or worse. One major study found that outdoor lighting can lead to an average drop in crime by upwards of 39%. Particularly in New York, a recent public housing trial showed a dramatic and significant relation between crime at night and outdoor lighting. The study found that places that received the new lighting saw a drop in crime rates that were significantly less than would have been the case without the new lights.

Safety

Personal and public safety is another concern. It’s a common fact that crime rates are significantly higher in darker areas with poor lighting. In particular, poorly lit areas make it much easier for criminals to act and get away. As stated previously in several studies good lighting has shown to deter crime by upwards of 39%. Among other findings, one of the studies concluded that higher levels of lighting led to a 7% overall reduction in so-called index crimes. A subset of serious offenses that includes murder, robbery, and aggravated assault, as well as certain property crimes.

Accidents

Parking lot accidents are far more common than you may realize. Particularly in winter months when the roads are more slippery and visibility decreases. Even more so a poorly lit parking lot can lead to potentially more accidents and increase owner liability. A common myth of parking lot accidents is known as the 50/50 rule. This misconception states that if two cars are involved in any sort of accident that takes place inside a parking lot, both drivers will be equally at fault. This is a myth, and is not true! Insurance companies use a set of rules called fault determination to help them figure out who will be held accountable for the accident. Just like all other accidents, statements will be taken, damages will be considered, and the fault will be determined based on the specifics of each situation.
