Unsurprisingly, with the growing popularity of electric vehicles in California, the state has more EV charging stations than any other in the country. In Los Angeles alone, there are over 21,000 electric vehicle chargers. The Bay Area is the country’s second most densely populated metro area, with nearly 16,000 EV charging units. This is great news for the planet and future generations, but it also means that these charging stations are bustling and can become hazardous for users if they are not focused on their surroundings.

Understanding The Time Limit To File Your EV Station Slip And Fall Lawsuit

As a personal injury victim, this could be your first experience working with a lawyer or even considering taking legal action against another person or entity who has caused you harm. So, there is a very simple fact that you need to understand to ensure you do not miss your opportunity for justice. The Statute of Limitations is a law that applies to all lawsuits and defines the amount of time provided to the victim to take legal action. While the amount of time granted to the victim will vary based on the legal matter in the case, once the Statute of Limitations expires, the victim permanently loses the right to seek compensation for losses or harm due to that event.

In cases involving a slip and fall injury at an EV station, the victim is given two years from the date of the incident to file their claim with the court. If the lawsuit is not filed in that time, the victim will typically never be able to seek compensation for that loss or harm. In addition, if the victim attempts to file a claim after the time limit has passed, the court will immediately dismiss the case. Finally, it is critical to understand that there are very minimal exceptions to the Statute of Limitations. Hence, victims need to contact DTLA Law Group as soon as possible after suffering an EV station slip and fall to understand the time limit to file a claim and how long it will take to prepare the case for presentation to the court.

Common EV Station Slip And Fall Hazards

When you stop to charge your electric vehicle, it is essential for you to remain focused on your surroundings and the environment to avoid the most common slip and fall hazards encountered in these locations. Sadly, many users view these stations as very safe because they have typically been built in recent years and should be in good condition. However, there can still be many slip and fall hazards present in even brand-new EV stations, which could include:

• Food or drinks spilled on the parking lot surface that could be slippery
• Excessive rain can make the paved areas very slick and create slip and fall hazards
• Loose gravel or other small rocks or dirt on the paved surface could become a slip and fall hazard
• In colder regions of the state, there could be ice or snow in the parking area that could become very dangerous
• Damage to the parking surface could result in a slip and fall
• Poor lighting can make an EV station very dangerous if there are steps or ramps that are hard to see after dark

If you suffered a slip and fall injury incident at a California EV station, please reach out to DTLA Law Group immediately, Our staff is reachable 24/7 to help you sort out the details of the injury incident and understand how you could be entitled to compensation of the property owner or their staff failed to provide a safe environment to charge your EV.

Who Could Be Liable For Your EV Station Slip And Fall Injuries

As the victim of a slip and fall injury, you could have many questions about what caused the incident and how you might have prevented the harm you sustained. In many cases, the liability for your injuries can become apparent as soon as you understand duty of care, which is part of premises liability law.

Duty of care applies to all private and public property and defines the level of care and maintenance property owners, and their staff must provide to ensure the safety of legal guests. The guidelines explain in simple terms what is expected and required from the staff so everyone can understand and follow these critical rules.

The minimum level of care is defined as what the average prudent person would provide in a similar situation. So, workers can think about how they would handle a safety issue at home and know what is expected of them if they encounter the same hazard at work. For example, litter or debris in a parking space should be removed and placed in a proper trash can to prevent a slip and fall injury. Likewise, if there is gravel or sand spilled in a parking space, it should be swept away to prevent an injury. These are common sense solutions to these everyday issues that can be easily corrected by EV station staff.

If the staff at an EV station fails to meet the minimum level of care required, they are said to be negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if that negligence is later found to have contributed to or caused someone to suffer an EV station slip and fall, then the owner of the EV station could be liable for the victim’s losses and expenses caused by their injuries. Please reach out to DTLA Law Group today to learn more about how duty of care could be the reason you are able to sue the owner of the EV station where you suffered a slip and fall injury.
