Legal Question
On my way home, driving after midnight one evening, I began to feel dizzy and my vision blurred (I had not been drinking). I immediately drove into the parking lot of a veterinary clinic, and I parked in their "Handicap Only" space. I hung my legitimate and valid Disability Placard on my mirror, and phoned a friend who lived several minutes away. My friend came to help me, and I felt better after he arrived, but also felt it might be better not to drive. Thinking my car would be "safe" in the handicap space, I didn't get back to the parking lot until that afternoon (same day), to find that my car had been towed. Folks in the veterinary clinic said that they called to have it towed, since I wasn't in the clinic. I paid to get my car out of impound. It is true that I was not a client or customer of the veterinary clinic, but my car had the correct disability placard, displayed correctly and conspicuously. My car was not ticketed/cited and this happened in Los Angeles County. Was the clinic in the right to have my car towed If not, what might be a legal recourse, please ... or might the veterinary clinic be liable for my fees I paid to recover my car?
