Who is legally responsible if a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle in a Miami parking garage or commercial lot?

Liability frequently falls upon the negligent motorist, but commercial property owners can also share legal responsibility. Drivers must navigate parking structures at safe speeds and yield to pedestrians entering or exiting retail spaces. Additionally, commercial property owners owe a duty under Florida premises liability principles to maintain safe grounds. Property owners can be held accountable if substandard garage lighting, obscured blind corners, missing stop signs, or poorly planned pedestrian paths contributed to the collision. Jeffrey S. Altman investigates maintenance records, commercial site plans, and surveillance footage to identify every responsible party.
