WilcoHess Truck Stop Injury Attorney

While part of the appeal of a truck stop is the large open space, that can also work against guests as traffic patterns can be hectic and random. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and buses are all trying to locate a parking space or at a fuel pump while passengers are all headed inside for a bathroom break or to get a snack. This frenzy of activity can end up leaving many people suffering as they leave WilcoHess with one of the following injuries:

• Trip and fall or slip and fall incidents are common outdoors when gas or oil is spilled on the pavement or inside the store where drinks are often spilled. Flooded or moist floors are common near restrooms due to splashed water, clogged drains, or malfunctioning or damaged water pipes or plumbing fixtures. Electrical cords in walkways and litter near overflowing trashcans can also present safety concerns with devastating results for customers.
• Falling objects from overhead shelves and displays can also significantly harm adults or children. Sadly, the overworked staff could fail to properly place inventory in these racks, and one wrong move could result in someone being hit from above with hazardous items.
• When security is lacking, there are no cameras monitoring the parking areas, and tempers flare due to increased traffic in the lot, it is not uncommon for the result to be a form of road rage that results in an assault and battery incident. These issues tend to be more common in areas that are dark and could be hard for others to see due to burned-out lights or light blocked by big rigs.
• The same darkened spaces that are often the sight of an assault can also be where sexual assault and sexual abuse violations occur. Sadly, the lack of staff monitoring and limited security cameras make dark corners of the WilcoHess lots ideal for an attacker who is looking for their next sexual abuse or sexual assault victim.
• With limited staff and food handling training, food-related issues at WilcoHess can include foreign objects contaminating the food as well as spoiled food that results in food poisoning.

If you suffered any injuries or harm on a recent visit to a WilcoHess truck stop, please know that the expert legal team at DTLA Law Group is ready to provide the information and reliable answers you need to understand your rights and ability to sue WilcoHess.

As with any space or venue, the injuries suffered at the facility vary. In addition, the health and age of the victim will also impact how serious the injury will be and how much it will alter their daily life. A slip and fall incident that results in bruises and scuffs for a younger victim could result in a senior citizen suffering a broken bone and a much more lengthy recovery process. So, it is critical for all patrons of WilcoHess to remain focused on their surroundings to avoid any of these common injuries:

• Soft tissue damage
• Burns or scald injuries
• Joint dislocations or damage to the connective tissue of joints
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
• Fractured or broken bones
• Harm to internal organs, which is often accompanied by internal bleeding
• Head trauma from concussions or a skull fracture to a traumatic brain injury
• Facial damage to the skin, eyes, ears, nose, or mouth

Understanding premises liability is vital to know when you can sue WilcoHess for injuries suffered at their location. Premises liability laws were created to protect guests at public and private properties. Duty of care defines the level of care that must be provided by owners or their staff to ensure the safety of others. The care required is said to be what the average prudent person would provide in a similar situation.

For example, if you would mop up spilled water to prevent a slip and fall, that is what is required by the WilcoHess staff. Likewise, they should pick up any litter on the floor as the average person would do to prevent a trip and fall or slip and fall incident. If the staff at WilcoHess fails to meet the minimum level of care required, they are negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to an injury accident, the victim can sue WilcoHess for compensation for their losses and expenses.

The amount of compensation sought in your lawsuit will be determined by the losses and expenses you incurred due to the injuries. Your WilcoHess truck stop injury lawyer will help you compile all allowable costs to calculate the amount. These items typically include:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses related to your injuries
• Legal expenses for your WilcoHess injury lawsuit
• The replacement cost of any personal property damaged or destroyed in the injury incident
• Lost income if your injuries prevent you from working until fully recovered and any income lost while attending medical treatment for your injuries

Personal injury victims have two years from the date of their injuries to file a lawsuit with the court. If the case is not filed in that time, you will lose the right to hold WilcoHess accountable for your losses and harm via a lawsuit. In addition, there are minimal exceptions to this time limit. Please get in touch with DTLA Law Group as soon as possible to determine how long you have to decide if a lawsuit against WilcoHess is the right choice for you.
