If you fell due to poor conditions of the parking lot, the owner of the lot may be liable. A parking lot owner is responsible for proper maintenance of the lot, including patching cracks, filling potholes and making sure the construction does not have abrupt changes in elevation.   If there was ice or snow on the lot that caused you to fall, the owner may be liable if reasonable efforts were not made to clear ice and snow on their property. You should consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to discuss the merits of your claim.   D’Amico, Griffin & Pettinicchi, LLC 465 Straits TurnpikeWatertown CT, 06795Phone: (860) 945-6600
