The Incidents that Affected Parties Could Suffer

A number of hazards could exist on the premises of truck stops that could ultimately result to incidents. Some of the incidents that unsuspecting parties could suffer including the following:

• Slip and fall accidents – these are associated with slip hazards present throughout premises. Some examples of slip hazards include missing warning signs, wet floors, slippery surfaces, leaks, etc. Anytime that someone steps on a slip hazard, they can potentially slip and suffer harm.
• Falling object incidents – these are associated with elevated objects that could fall onto anyone who is standing or walking directly underneath or even near the object. Some objects that can be hazardous if they become loose and fall include signs, light fixtures, ceiling fans, frames, etc.
• Assault and battery incidents – these are typically associated with the malicious intentions of others; however, the hazards present on the premises can contribute to their occurrence. Some examples of the hazards that could contribute to assault and battery incidents include a lack of security presence, poor lighting, isolated areas, and a lack of surveillance cameras.
• Sexual assault incidents – these are also associated with malicious intent; however, no security, no surveillance cameras, poorly lit areas, and isolated areas, for instance, can all increase the risk and actually contribute to the incidents occurring.
• Food poisoning incidents – these are associated with the way that food products are handled in any convenience stores or snack shops on the premises. Some examples of potential hazards include employees untrained in food handling, cross-contamination, etc.
• Foreign object in food incidents – these incidents re also associated with the way that food products are handled in snack shops or convenience stores on the premises. Foreign objects that could potentially be found in food products if food handlers are not cautious include nails, blades, glass shards, plastic, etc.

Regardless of the specific hazard that you encountered resulting in your truck stop incident, you likely suffered significant harm.

Can You Sue?

Do affected parties have the right to sue for the accidents that they suffer on the premises of a truck stop? Can you file a lawsuit for truck stop incidents that result in harm? Based on the details surrounding the incident and the harm suffered, you might have grounds to sue. More specifically, you have the right to sue based on the concept of premise liability. Based on premise liability, all property owners have a duty to ensure that their premises are free of hazards that could potentially harm their guests. This means that the owners of truck stops must keep the entire premises of any hazards that could contribute to incidents that could harm guests. Property owners must routinely inspect the premises to be able to identify and address hazards on the premises. If the owners of truck stops fail to keep their premises safe, they can be liable for any harm that occurs on the premises.

What does this mean? If you suffer harm associated with hazards present in a truck stop, you could sue the truck stop owners.

File Within the Statute of Limitations

Your truck stop injury claim is subject to a statute of limitations; a statute of limitations determines the total length of time that you have to sue. If you fail to file your claim on time, you could lose your right to sue entirely. Because of this it is essential that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to sue. What deadline applies to your claim? The applicable deadline will be based on where you are pursuing your claim. For instance, injury claims filed in California are subject to two-year statute of limitations (which gives claimants only two years to sue). However, considering that there are truck stops all over the country, you could be filing in another state. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately.
