Gas stations help us when we are on a road trip or even just commuting back and forth to work. It is a great convenience for anyone who drives to be able to go to a gas station, as they are nearly on every American city corner. Even in our towns, gas stations are convenient and plentiful, but there are hazards that can be found at the neighborhood gas station. When you get out of your car to gas up your vehicle, boat, or gas powered toys, you need to be aware of your surroundings at a gas station. Sometimes there are obvious hazards at the gas station, that can cause you to slip, trip or fall on the pavement or in the retail building servicing the gas station customers. Other times there are less obvious hazards that can catch you by surprise, but are just as dangerous, and can cause you to have a serious injury falling at the gas station.
Surprisingly, People Over 65 Years Old Who Sustain a Slip and Fall Injury Can Die from the Injuries
Many people over 65 years old who fall down can suffer a death just from the fall. You have to realize why this is the case, and it may be for different reasons than you think. A person who falls at a gas station who is over 65 years old, can have complications and serious injuries from a slip and fall at the gas station.1 That means that an elderly person who falls at a gas station can suffer:
- Reduced activity
- Serious head trauma
- Broken hip
- Incontinence
- Broken bones that do not heal
- Serious concussion
- Coma
- Death from complications brought on by the fall
For this reason, when an elderly person falls at a gas station, it can be a death sentence, because of the complications that can arise from an older person taking a tumble to the ground from conditions at a gas station location. If you have fallen at a gas station and sustained serious personal injuries, you can call us at the Normandie Law Firm at 800.790.5422 right now.
