Yes, typically these parking lots are owned by a private entity but you still may pursue a claim of negligence against an individual for negligence if you or your vehicle were harmed in the parking lot. There is a three year statute of limitations in Colorado for claims arising from a motor vehicle accident, you have three years in which to file a claim or lose your right to do so.
