In England: You can't disclaim liability. Thus, putting a sign in the car park saying "we're not liable for anything that happens to your car while parked here" means nothing; if something they did makes them liable they're still liable even if they have the sign up.


That part makes sense; what doesn't is why would a shopping center be liable at all if someone hit your car while in their parking lot.

I guess you could claim that the way the parking lot was built didn't provide... enough visibility? Or something? I dunno.
