People who visit a truck stop can be susceptible to slip and fall injuries. If the truck stop is on the highway, bi-way or even in a town or city, the risk of slipping and falling at a truck stop remains the same – high! If you are getting out of your car, truck or even larger vehicle at a truck stop, you can expect that there will be slipping and falling hazards around the areas of the parking lots.
Truck stop parking lots can be filled with debris, oil slicks, garbage on the ground or even wet coffee spills or other fuel spills that can cause you to slip when you leave your vehicle. If you exit your vehicle at a truck stop and fall down because of poor road or ground conditions, you may bring an action against the owners of the truck stop for your personal injuries. You can injure your back, head, break bones or even get a concussion from falling at a truck stop. In the event that this happens to you, just give our law office a call. We will work with you and get you the money you need to pay for your personal injuries sustained at a truck stop from a slip and fall.
Falling Objects at a Truck Stop

Objects can fall off of the top of a vehicle, or from the side, top or cab of a larger truck or semi-truck. In these cases, the reasons for a falling object can be unknown.

Truck Stop Accidents
Truck stop accidents can happen at any time, when you are resting at the truck stop during a road trip. Your road trip will usually include some time out at the nearest truck stop. This means that you will have to leave the main highway, and turn off onto an exit that will include a truck stop. On the interstate, there may be truck stops that are incorporated into the highway, where you don’t have to actually get off the main road to go to the truck stop. For this reason, there are a plethora of accidents that occur at a truck stop.
Truck stop accidents come in a wide variety of types. People are more careless when pulling in or backing out of a space at a truck stop. This may be because these individuals are ready to get to their next destination, or they are still eating a meal, or distracted by other people they are talking to in their vehicle or on a mobile phone. Truck stop accidents can also occur because of:
- Driver inattention
- Trouble of driver to negotiate a curve
- Illegal parking
- Accelerating with no room to turn into a parking spot
- Entering a parking area too fast or too slowly
- Speeding in the parking lot
- Making a U-turn in the parking area
- Changing lanes too quickly
- Truck trailers not properly secured
- Driver cannot see around a camper or a boat properly
- Cargo loss or falling off the trailer
- Vehicle defective
- Driver inexperience
- Vision obstructed
