Fort Myers Car Accidents: Lee County Florida Shopping Malls the Scene of Frequent Crashes
The next time you make a trip to a Fort Myers Florida shopping mall, drive with caution: Ft Myers Florida car crashes and fender benders happen on a regular basis in the parking lots, access roads and areas surrounding Lee County Florida shopping malls.
Shopping mall parking lots can be notoriously difficult to navigate, as drivers throw caution -- and the rules of the road -- to the wind in frantic search of a parking space. The layout of some shopping mall driving, drop-off, and parking areas, combined with shrubbery, hedges and other visual obstacles, can add to the confusion of mall driving. According to a report by Fort Myers Florida news source NewsPress.com, Lee County traffic accidents are the second-largest problem at area malls, with 129 accidents reported in recent months. Malls and car accidents mentioned in the report include...
Bell Tower Shops, South Fort Myers, Florida (28 crashes)
Coconut Point Mall (24 crashes) and Miromar (12 crashes)
Edison Mall, Ft Myers, Florida (32 crashes)
Gulf Coast Town Center, San Carlos Park, Florida (33 crashes)
Fort Myers police dispute some of the numbers in the report, saying that some accidents may have actually occurred on South Florida highways in front of the malls, such as US 41.
The last thing anyone wants when they go shopping is to come home with a dent in their car -- or worse. An experienced Fort Myers Florida car accident lawyer can help determine liability and the driver's options in cases where a moving or parked car is hit in a parking lot.
