What should I do if I'm injured in a parking lot accident at a Paramus shopping center?

Paramus is home to some of New Jersey’s largest shopping destinations, including Garden State Plaza and Paramus Park Mall, which means parking lot accidents are unfortunately common. If you’re injured in a parking lot accident, your first priority is seeking immediate medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. Parking lot accidents can involve vehicles backing out without looking, pedestrians struck while walking to their cars, or slip and falls on poorly maintained surfaces. Document everything by taking photos of the accident scene, the hazard that caused your injury, and any visible injuries. Get contact information from witnesses and file a report with mall security or property management. Many people don’t realize that parking lot accidents can involve multiple liable parties—not just other drivers, but also the property owner if poor lighting, inadequate signage, or maintenance issues contributed to your accident. Attorney Luis Martinez has handled numerous parking lot injury cases at Paramus shopping centers and understands the complex liability issues these claims involve. 

Route 17 through Paramus is notorious for heavy traffic congestion, frequent lane changes, and distracted drivers heading to and from the area’s major retail centers. The combination of commercial vehicles, shoppers unfamiliar with the area, and stop-and-go traffic creates conditions ripe for serious accidents. Common accidents on Route 17 include rear-end collisions during traffic slowdowns, side-swipe accidents during lane changes, and crashes near the numerous shopping center entrances and exits. The speed limit changes frequently along this stretch, and drivers often fail to adjust appropriately. Attorney Luis Martinez has represented numerous clients injured in Route 17 accidents and knows exactly how these crashes typically occur. His 34 years of experience practicing in Bergen County means he’s familiar with every dangerous intersection, problematic merge, and accident-prone area along this corridor. If you’ve been injured in an accident on Route 17, Luis can investigate whether factors like inadequate signage, poor road design, or commercial vehicle negligence contributed to your crash. His local knowledge gives you a significant advantage when building your case.

Yes, you can pursue a premises liability claim if you’re injured at a Paramus store, restaurant, or other business due to the property owner’s negligence. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for customers and visitors. This includes keeping floors dry and clear of hazards, providing adequate lighting, maintaining parking lots and walkways, and warning customers of known dangers. Common injuries at Paramus retail locations and restaurants include slip and falls from spilled liquids or debris, trips over uneven flooring or broken pavement, falling merchandise injuries, and accidents caused by inadequate security. To have a valid claim, you must prove the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn customers. Evidence is critical in these cases—take photos immediately if possible, report the incident to management and get a copy of the incident report, seek medical attention right away, and preserve the clothing and shoes you were wearing.
