There’s no doubt that truck stops are prone to car accidents due to the sheer number of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other vehicles on the property at any given time. However, this is not the only type of accident that can cause bodily harm for those who stop at a Roady’s Truck Stop. Other incidents resulting from careless or reckless conduct include:
- Trip and fall or slip and fall incidents due to hazards like water on the floor, drink and food spills, cracked sidewalks and pavements, and failure to remove snow, ice, and debris.
- Structural collapses like falling roof or ceiling, or things falling off walls and shelves (merchandise, store displays, signs, light fixtures, etc.).
- Lack of security that increases the potential for assault and battery. Truck stops are prone to physical and sexual assault in the parking lot and other areas of the property without surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and other security measures.
- Unsafe food handling practices that cause people to be food poisoned or choke on foreign objects found in food orders. Lack of training or supervision is often to blame, but these incidents can also be attributed to careless or overworked staff members.

Yes, you can file a lawsuit against Roady’s Truck Stops if negligence by the owner of someone working for them caused you harm and suffering. Your right to sue is based on premises liability, a legal concept that has to do with the duty of care that property owners have to those on the premises. In essence, there are many duties and responsibilities that owners have to ensure that their property is safe for guests and visitors. Cleaning, general maintenance, and making repairs as necessary will take care of most hazards that can hurt others. Owner must also secure areas of their property with cameras, bright lights, alarms, and other reasonable measures.
Sadly, many of these issues are not prioritized by business owners that are inexperienced or more worried about cutting costs than keeping people safe. Or, they fail to hire, train, and manage competent employees that can be trusted to run the store and deal with the public. This is why accidents and cases of assault and battery at truck stops are fairly common.

Under California laws, victims of injury or property damage caused by another party have 2 years from the incident date to file a personal injury lawsuit.
