Research shows that crashes into homes and businesses occur when drivers are entering or exiting ‘nose-in’ parking spaces that face pedestrian walkways or business storefronts. Vehicle-into-building crashes also happen to buildings located in the curve of a roadway or at a T-shaped intersections when a driver loses control of the vehicle.
Businesses located on busy roadways, downtown city streets, or commercial business districts areas and those with parking spaces that are directly facing the storefront are most at risk for having a vehicle crash into them. These crashes sometimes take the lives of business patrons or employees that may have been hit by or pinned under the at-fault driver’s vehicle or struck by flying debris.

In 2012, Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers helped recover a $1.35 million wrongful death settlement after a vehicle-into-building crash. Our client, Kaye, was a 60-year-old woman working as an office manager for an insurance company in Renton when a devastating car accident took her life.
Kaye was working at her desk on an otherwise normal weekday when an elderly woman driving on a nearby road crashed through the front window of the business and landed on top of Kaye’s desk. Tragically, Kaye was trapped underneath the rubble.
Kaye’s husband, Larry, said he and his family interviewed a total of three law firms before they eventually decided to hire Davis Law Group Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers “for a myriad of reasons.” The case went to a jury trial, but both sides decided to settle the case for $1.35 million before the trial was completed.

According to accident data obtained from the Washington State Patrol, in 2016 there were 843 motor vehicle accidents in which a house, apartment building, storefront, or other building was struck. In 58 of those crashes, the driver was over the age of 60.
In 2016 in King County, there were 296 such accidents. In 13 of those crashes, the driver was over the age of 60.
Although the public has no idea how frequently these crashes occur, building owners, property managers, and business operators have known for years that this is a major public safety issue. Buildings that lack proper safety mechanisms have often been struck multiple times.
Once aware of the safety issues, building owners have a duty to address or correct the problems. If they fail to do so they may be held liable or partly at-fault for all future incidents. Store owners can implement protective devices on their own but most do not.
The Storefront Safety Council believes that shopping center owners and merchants should take steps to protect their customers. The storefront protection industry is currently exploring more ways to prevent vehicle crashes into retail stores, restaurants, and other commercial buildings.
