Advance America is a chain of cash advance stores that offer a variety of loans and cash advances. They also provide money transfer services through Western Union, which many people use to send money to over 200 countries and territories. Though payday loans, title loans, and other high interest money lending practices are highly controversial, these stores are used by many people when they’re in a jam and need immediate cash.
With stores like Advance America, there’s no denying that many of them are located in less desirable neighborhoods, where crimes rates are high. That’s why business owners must have security on the premises to keep people from being robbed and assaulted. Customers or those passing by the store can also get caught end up being injured from tripping over or slipping on something on the property.
If you or a member of your family was injured at Advance America due to lack of security or failure to maintain conditions in the store, you may have grounds to file a file a lawsuit for monetary damages.

Accidents and Assault at an Advance America Store Location
We previously mentioned that businesses specializing in cash advances may not be in the best neighborhoods. In addition, stores like Advanced America have a lot of money on the property at any given time, whether it’s money in the register or cash that customers are walking out with if they are approved for a loan. The point is, all these conditions are appealing to criminals, who target these places for thefts and armed robbery.
This is why enhanced security is a must at any Advanced America location. Unfortunately, this type of business focuses on maximizing profits, no matter the cost. So, there’s a good chance that broken surveillance cameras are not fixed or replaced. Lighting in the parking lot and other outdoor areas is inadequate or non-existent. Employee turnover rates are high, so owners hire whoever they can, whether they have the experience, maturity level, or dedication to the job. These are examples of negligence that place customers at risk of injuries and death.
Businesses also have a duty to clean, make repairs, and maintain all areas of the property so that it’s reasonably safe for guests and visitors. So, if the floors are dirty and become slippery over time, it’s more than likely that someone will slip on the floor and fall down. Under the law of premises liability, the business is liable for the victim’s monetary losses, which may include damages, like cost of medical treatments, lost wages, and pain and suffering. There are many other cases of negligence that will allow you to file a lawsuit if you are injured on someone else’s property.

What is the Deadline to File an Accident Injury Claim?
As a victim of assault and battery or an accident on the premises, you have 2 years from the date of injury to file personal injury lawsuit. An exception applies to sexual assault lawsuits, which have a deadline of 10 years from when the victim was attacked. The 10-year rule applies to adult victims, meaning individuals that are 18 years or older. For someone who was sexually assaulted as a minor, the statute of limitations to sue is 22 years from when they are legally an adult. So, essentially, minors who were sexually assaulted have until their 40th birthday to file a lawsuit.
Keep in mind that there may be exceptional circumstances that can change the statute of limitations, though the courts have to approve any exceptions on a case by case basis. To ensure that you are filing your lawsuit by the statutory deadline, seek help from a cash advance store injury attorney as soon as possible.
If I Lost a Loved One, Can I Sue Advance America?

You can also file a claim for wrongful death benefits if your loved one had an accident and died as a direct result of their injuries.
Please note that the statute of limitations to sue for death by negligence is 2 years, starting from the decedent’s date of death. There are numerous damages that may be available to you, depending on the financial and emotional losses that are associated with the death of your partner, parent, child, etc. During a free consultation, one of our attorneys can verify which of these payments you can seek in a wrongful death claim against Advance America:
