Parking lots are supposed to be safe and free of defects. Hazards like tire stops, however, often create risks for pedestrians. Tire stops are positioned below eye level to prevent vehicles from rolling forward in parked spaces. The danger created by tire stops involves innocent pedestrians tripping or stumbling over them and suffering severe injuries.

You or a loved one may be entitled to compensation due to injuries caused by a dangerous tire stop in a parking lot. Hobbs Law helps injured victims and seeks to hold negligent or reckless businesses accountable for the harm caused to innocent pedestrians.

Common Injuries from Tripping Over a Tire Stop

Tire stops may be challenging to see, especially when the proper precautions are not in place to alert people about their presence. Severe injuries may follow tripping over a tire stop, including the following:

• Fractures: Broken bones in the toes, feet, wrists, or hands.
• Head Injuries: Severe head trauma, concussions, or brain injuries.
• Sprains and Strains: Injured muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
• Spine Injuries:  Injured spinal cord, discs, and vertebrae.
• Cuts and Bruises: Lacerations, abrasions, contusions, and scarring. 

Liability for Tire Stop Injuries

Businesses, property owners, and property controllers must act reasonably to keep the property safe for people who set foot on it. Failing to do so and causing injury to another may result in liability for the parties in charge of the property under Alabama law. Claims for premises liability and negligence may redress any harm from an incident involving a tire stop. Parties responsible for the safe condition of the tire stop must ensure that no dangers are created concerning the following:

• Inadequate lighting conditions;
• The physical condition of the tire stop;
• The appearance of the tire stop and 
• The location of the tire stop.

As a result of the property owner's negligence, you may experience physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, medical costs, and lost wages.
