Pilot Flying J Truck Stop Injury Attorney

If you were asked what safety concern should be at the forefront of your mind in a Pilot Flying J truck stop, you would likely say a vehicle versus pedestrian accident. The traffic and number of larger vehicles in these locations can create scary situations. However, being struck by a vehicle is not the only hazard you might encounter during your next trip to a Pilot Flying J. Remain aware of your surroundings and watch for these common injuries and accidents:

• Slip and fall or trip and fall incidents are prevalent when the staff is not keeping the facility as clean and tidy as needed. Food and drinks spilled on the floor, clogged drains flooding floors, electrical cords or hoses left blocking walkways, and litter left on the ground all contribute to the significant number of victims facing these injury accidents at Pilot Flying J.
• Harm from falling objects is also common in areas where items are stacked overhead on racks or shelving. Merchandise carelessly stacked or stocked on shelves can easily fall on a customer or, even worse, a small child.
• Assault and battery claims are on the rise in these truck stops and should be taken very seriously. Dark areas where a light has failed or in places where the cameras and security system have been disabled are ideal locations for someone to lurk and wait for their next assault victim.
• Dark areas and spaces not covered by security cameras are also prime locations for sexual assault. Victims are often grabbed and dragged into a dark corner of the property or behind large trucks and suffer unthinkable violations and harm.
• Food-related issues reported at Pilot Flying J truck stops revolve around spoiled food, which can cause food poisoning, and foreign objects found in the food. The cause of most problems is related to a lack of training and proper food handling by inexperienced staff and a lack of adequate staffing in these large truck stops.

If you have suffered any of these issues or injuries while at a Pilot Flying J truck stop, please make time to contact DTLA Law Group at your earliest convenience. Our staff will help you better understand your ability to take legal action and secure any compensation that could be owed to you for the harm and losses caused by a Pilot Flying J injury incident.

Sadly, suffering a severe injury when stopping at a Pilot Flying J truck stop is typically the furthest thing from the minds of customers. However, many leave with very unexpected harm and challenges they never imagined when stopping for fuel, a quick snack, or a bathroom break. The harm can include:

• Fractured or broken bones
• Dislocated joints or damage to the connective tissue of joints
• Soft tissue injuries
• Puncture wounds or severe lacerations
• Damage to internal injuries that often includes internal bleeding
• Sexual abuse or sexual assault
• Facial injuries to the skin, nose, eyes, ears, mouth or teeth
• Burns or scalds
• Head injuries from a concussion to traumatic brain injuries

For you to file a Pilot Flying J truck stop injury lawsuit, your legal team needs to demonstrate that the injuries suffered were caused or caused in part by Pilot Flying J staff negligence. In most cases, negligence is a lack of duty of care, which is required from all property owners and their staff. The obligation is in place to ensure the safety of guests to the property or facility.

Duty of care defines the minimum level of care provided to be equal to what the average prudent person would deliver in a similar situation. For example, you would mop up liquid spilled on the floor promptly to avoid an accident, and so must the staff at Pilot Flying J. If they fail to take action and are negligent in their duty of care, Pilot Flying J could be found liable for the harm and losses of the injury victim.

Your lawsuit value will be determined by compiling all allowable expenses you incurred, which typically include:

• All current and future medical costs to treat the injuries
• The value of any personal property damaged or destroyed in the incident
• Your legal expenses related to your Pilot Flying J lawsuit
• Any lost income due to your injuries and the time spent at medical appointments and treating your injuries

Victims of a personal injury have two years from the date of the injury incident to file a lawsuit with the court. If your case against Pilot Flying J is not filed in that time, you will lose the right to take legal action and seek compensation for the harm and losses caused by that specific event. In addition, there are very minimal exceptions to this rule to allot more time to file your Pilot Flying J lawsuit.
