Average Value Of A Car Wash Accident Injury Lawsuit

The Statute of Limitations is the law that defines how long a victim has to file a claim after suffering an injury or a loss. The law applies to all cases. However, the time allotted will vary based on the legal matter involved in the lawsuit. However, victims should clearly understand that there are only a minimal number of exceptions to the time provided to file their case. And if they wait until the time limit has expired, they will likely lose the right to seek justice and compensation for the harm or loss they suffered due to that specific event.

In cases involving a car wash accident injury, the victim is given two years from the date of the injuries to have their case prepared and filed with the court. If they fail to act this time but file a case after the two-year limit, it will be immediately denied. So, it is essential to contact DTLA Law Group as soon as you are able to discuss the details of your injury incident to ensure that time never becomes a challenge if you choose to take legal action in the future.

As you might imagine, there are few places you might visit that pose more potential safety hazards than a car wash. However, when all the patrons and staff pay attention to these possible issues and take the appropriate steps to maintain the space safely, it becomes useful. With the proper care, these locations are an excellent way for vehicle owners to keep their cars looking great and free of harm from salt, road dirt, and other environmental concerns while saving a few bucks. But it is essential you be aware of and avoid these common car wash safety hazards:

• Areas with puddled water or flowing water on the ground
• Places where wax or oil-based products were spilled, or overspray onto the ground could be very slippery
• Unmarked or poorly marked transitions from one surface to another, such as concrete to asphalt
• Poorly marked or unmarked steps or ramps
• Areas with no signage to direct vehicles that could result in being hit by a car
• Hoses or pipes on the ground that could cause a tripping hazard
• Damaged hoses or washing equipment in the bays that could fail or fall apart and injure the user
• Other customers who are improperly using the car wash equipment
• Soap or other cleaning agents that are leaking from the equipment and could create overly slippery areas

If you recently suffered a car wash accident injury and need to understand your right to seek justice, be sure to get in touch with DTLA Law Group immediately. Our staff will help you know how the car wash owner could be liable for your injuries and responsible for the losses and expenses you have incurred because you were hurt.

Duty of care is a part of premises liability that applies to all private and public properties. It defines the level of care and maintenance the property owner or their staff must provide to protect the safety of guests or customers on the property. The minimum required level must be what the average prudent person would provide to ensure safety on the property.

This translates to what most people consider common sense safety and maintenance to correct issues promptly when discovered or reported by a customer, and placing warning signs if a problem cannot be immediately corrected or eliminated. If the property owner or their staff fail to meet this basic level of care, they are in breach of duty of care or negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if that negligence is determined to have caused or contributed to a person’s injuries, the property owner is liable for the victim’s loses and harm. Please reach out to DTLA Law Group to discuss how the staff at the car wash where you were injured could have failed to meet their duty of care and contributed to or caused your injuries.

Sadly, severe injuries are a possibility because of the hard surfaces, high-pressure water, and many moving parts at many car wash locations. It is vital you seek a complete medical evaluation after suffering any injury at a car wash to ensure you get the immediate medical care needed to provide the best chance for a full recovery. Some of the common car wash injuries seen at California medical facilities include:

• Broken, fractured, or shattered bones
• Soft tissue injuries
• Damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Severe lacerations or amputations
• Damage to the soft connective tissue of joints or complete joint locations
• Injuries to the neck, back, or spinal cord
• Head trauma or injuries to the face, nose, mouth, teeth, eyes or ears

Even if you think you were not injured or the harm sustained is not severe, it is always advised that you seek medical care to ensure that no injuries are masked by shock or the adrenaline from the accident.

Victims of any personal injury should know that there are no predetermined values for specific injuries or harm. Instead, the value of each car wash accident injury lawsuit is determined by carefully evaluating all the losses and expenses incurred by the victim. So, there will be victims with minor injuries who will receive compensation of $50K or less, while a victim who was severely injured could seek over $1M in compensation. The items typically evaluated to determine this dollar amount include:

• All current and future medical expenses related to the injuries suffered at the car wash
• The replacement value of any personal property that was destroyed or damaged in the incident
• Your lost wages if you are unable to work due to your injuries or you miss work for medical appointments
• All legal costs related to your car wash accident injury lawsuit
