What do I do if my car gets damaged in a Parking Garage?
If your car or its contents have been damaged or stolen at a parking lot, a lawyer can advise you of your rights and remedies against the parking lot. But before you worry about this remember to take everyone’s name down who is at the scene, and if possible take pictures of your car before you leave the garage. It is also a good idea to file a police report and contact your automobile insurance carrier. Below are some additional links, which may assist you in figuring out what remedies are available to you.
