Safety Hazards You Might Encounter At Pilot Flying J Truck Stops
Safety is always a concern, especially when traveling with loved ones. Most people pay more attention when crossing the large parking lot at a Pilot Flying J than they do once they are inside the convenience store. But it is critical to understand that injury accidents can occur in all areas of these massive facilities due to these standard safety concerns:
- Trip and fall injuries often occur outdoors when litter or debris blocks walkways or access spaces. Electrical cords and hoses left on the ground are also common causes of these injuries. Indoors, the hazards begin at the entrance with damaged or folded floor mats, merchandise that has fallen to the floor, and inventory items left in walkways and hallways instead of being properly stored.
- Slip and fall hazards are also prominent outside due to fuel and oil leaking on the pavement, standing water, or wet leaves and debris on the paved surfaces. Inside, most slip and fall incidents happen near the self-serve drink station, where spills and leaks are common, and near the restrooms, which can cause floors to flood when a plumbing fixture leaks or malfunctions.
- Few people think about suffering an injury from a falling object, but it is very possible that merchandise is stacked too high on upper shelving or the displays are not very sturdy and stable. It is also vital to remember that children are shorter than most displays at Pilot Flying J and could suffer harm from a falling object that is not as potentially hazardous to a taller adult.
- Unfortunately, assault and battery, sexual abuse, and sexual assaults are common in locations that include remote spaces, are very dark, and do not have adequate security cameras and staff monitoring them. Avoiding these extra hazardous areas is the best way to ensure you and your loved ones do not suffer these unforgivable violations.
- Food poisoning and injuries from food contaminated with foreign objects often occur in locations with poor food handling standards and training. These massive facilities operate with minimal staff to keep overhead low. However, the risk is that food is not getting the proper attention to ensure it is safe to consume.
If you or a loved one suffered any injury at a California Pilot Flying J truck stop, please make time today to contact Normandie Law Firm to discuss the possibility of seeking compensation for the expenses and harm you sustained.
When Can I Sue Pilot Flying J Truck Stop For My Injuries And Losses?
All public and private property owners must comply with premises liability laws. They are in place to ensure the safety of others who are guests on the properties. In general, duty of care defines the legal obligation of property owners and their staff in simple and easy to grasp terms. It states they must provide at least the same care and actions as would be taken by the average prudent person in a similar situation.
For example, if a hallway light is not functioning, the typical person would repair it to ensure no one trips and falls or suffers an assault or sexual violation in that darkened space. Likewise, if ice is dropped on the floor, the common reaction is cleaning it up to prevent a slip-and-fall injury accident. These are also the actions required by the staff of Pilot Flying J and which should be provided promptly.
If the staff at Pilot Flying J fail to comply with these requirements, they are deemed negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to an injury accident, Pilot Flying J can be held liable for the expenses and harm of the injury victim. Please reach out to the Pilot Flying J truck stop accident injury lawyers at Normandie Law Firm to discuss the facts of your injury incident and the possibility of filing a lawsuit.
What Is The Potential Value of My Pilot Flying J Truck Stop Accident Injury Lawsuit?

How Long Do I Have To File My Pilot Flying J Accident Injury Lawsuit
The Statute of Limitations allows victims of a personal injury two years from the date of the incident to file their claim. If the lawsuit is not filed with the court when the Statute of Limitations expires, the victim loses the legal right to seek compensation for losses and harm caused by that specific incident. It is also crucial to know that there are very limited exceptions to this time limit. Please contact Normandie Law Firm immediately to discuss your injury incident and how long remains for you to file a claim against Pilot Flying J harm and losses you sustained.
