Parking lot hazard. Is my employer responsible? PA (Accidents & Personal Injury Law)

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 15:55:00 GMT

$1100 in damage

I was on my lunch break. While turning a corner at my parking lot....The entire side of my new car was deeply scratched/dented from one of the rocks in my parking lot.

My employer has large rocks on every corner of the parking lot to avoid cars from running over the grass. The rock was very low to the ground, but not low enough to prevent extensive damage. It could not be seen from any mirror on my car. It was about 1/2 foot away from the pavement. Entirely too close.

These rocks are a hazard! My employer will take no responsibility! Should I contact a lawyer? Would I have a case?
