🟧 Parking Lot Liability in 2025, Why Deferred Maintenance Is Riskier Than Ever

📅 June 2025

Slip-and-fall lawsuits. ADA compliance. Pothole-related vehicle claims. If you’re managing a commercial property, especially in retail or multifamily housing, neglecting your parking lot isn’t just a maintenance issue anymore, it’s a liability minefield.

With tighter insurance underwriting standards and increased scrutiny from municipalities across Colorado, property managers are facing heightened pressure to stay on top of pavement safety. Cracks, trip hazards, faded striping, and pooling water aren’t just signs of wear, they’re red flags for risk.

🔧 Proactive Maintenance Saves More Than Just Pavement

By investing in regular sealcoating, crack filling, and re-striping, you not only extend the life of your lot, you also demonstrate due diligence. This can protect you in legal disputes and lower your overall exposure. Our finishing services at Bella Asphalt are tailored for high-risk zones like entrances, ADA spaces, and crosswalks.

🏷️ It’s Not Just About Looks, It’s About Liability

Curb appeal may be important for attracting tenants or customers, but in 2025, pavement conditions are a measurable risk factor. Poorly maintained lots can impact your property’s value, reputation, and legal standing.
