Legal basis for underground car park accidents

Accidents in underground car parks often raise questions about right-of-way rules. In many cases, users trust that traffic rules also apply in these areas. In particular, road users in the through lanes normally have the right of way. This was confirmed in a 2013 ruling by the Munich District Court, which analyzed a similar accident in an underground car park. There, the judges determined that particular caution is required when visibility is obstructed by walls and other vehicles. In the case, it was ruled that both drivers were equally responsible for the accident as visibility was restricted and neither party was able to react in a timely manner rabro-mva.de reported.

The ruling makes it clear that both caution and knowledge of applicable traffic regulations are crucial in such scenarios. Information experts recommend always taking special care in underground car parks to avoid accidents, especially if visibility is limited.
