If you have suffered injuries due to the negligence of another, you have the right to make a claim for compensation. However, your right to pursue compensation won’t last forever.

Parking lots are one of the most common areas to get into a car accident. And, even though cars are generally moving slower than they would be on the roads, these accidents can still cause damage and injury and need to be taken seriously.
