Slip and Fall at a Gas Station

Gas stations generally have heavy foot traffic entering and exiting the premises throughout any given day. So, gas station owners should take the proper precautions in order to ensure that the premises are safe for all who step foot on the property. If they fail to do so, they are breaching a duty of care owed to their consumers and could possibly sue for negligence. If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip and fall accident at a gas station, contact our attorneys so discuss your case and how to proceed to get justice.

Gas stations are fairly busy from open to close, inside and outside of the gas station convenience store. This area is open to all consumers and, thus, must be properly maintained and monitored so that it provides the safest environment possible. However, issues can arise. There may be broken sidewalks or cement, dim lighting, fallen objects, gas spills on the ground, snow or ice on the ground, and more. Any of these problems can cause a person severe injury, ending in things like cuts, scrapes, bruises, concussions, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, neck injury, broken or fractured bones, and even paralysis.

Depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident, people’s injuries will range and so will your damages. It is important to tell the manager at the gas station about what happened so that he/she is aware of what occurred, especially in case you contact him later regarding legal action. Try to document the cause of your slip and fall, whether it be anything from a gas spill to an unsalted and icy ground. This will help you and your attorneys later in the process to gather your evidence and proof of injury.

You should be able to sue the gas station owner for negligence if you can prove a few things. You must be able to prove that they owed you a duty of care upon entering their property, they breached this duty, their conduct directly caused your injury, and you did suffer actual damages. With the help of your attorney, you will be able to determine if you have a valid case and if you are entitled to recover damages and be compensated for what you have experienced.
