The owner of the parking lot may be liable based on a 3rd party negligence claim.

Contact me if you would like to discuss further.

It depends. Chances are that it will not be covered.

However, you may have other recourse if the cause of injury was as a result of someone's carelessness. In this sort of cases, the facts are very important and each case has to be evaluated based on those specific facts.

If you want to discuss it further contact my office.

I hope this helps-
