Truck Stop Slip And Fall Attorney

Unfortunately, truck stops can see a lot of traffic in a short period of time. That can result in a lot of spills and mess that need immediate attention from the staff to prevent countless slip and fall accidents. But it is also a well-known fact that most truck stops operate with minimal staff, even during the busiest times of the day and night. So customers need to be aware of the often overlooked or blatantly ignored slip and fall hazards that include:

• Water or other drinks spilled on the floor and not promptly cleaned up
• Ice that is dropped and ignored soon becomes a significant slip and fall hazard
• Floor mats that are damaged or folded
• Water tracked in from outdoors
• Saturated floor mats
• Water leaking from damaged pipes, clogged drains, or malfunctioning plumbing fixtures
• Merchandise that fell to the floor but was not picked up
• Leaking bottles, cartons, or packages on the shelves
• Litter and other paper items on the floor
• Freestanding displays blocking the walkways
• Wet floors that were recently mopped but had no warning signs to alert customers of the added potential for a slip and fall incident
• Unmarked or poorly marked transitions from one flooring surface to another or at steps or ramps

While these issues appear to be minimal and easy to handle, the staff at many truck stops choose to overlook them and their potential to severely injury a patron if they slip and fall. This disregard for customer safety is what allows many slip and fall accident injury victims to sue the truck stop where they slipped and fell for compensation to cover their medical expenses and other losses caused by their injuries.

Duty of care is part of premises liability law that is in place to protect the safety of guests at a business or private location. These guidelines define the care and precautions that must be provided by the property or business owner to ensure the safety of legal guests on the property. Fortunately, the explanation is very straightforward and defines the level of care as the same as would be provided by the average prudent person.

Knowing the requirements, it is easy for truck stop staff and patrons to understand what is expected to ensure everyone’s safety. You can imagine issues that might occur in your home, such as spilled ice or water, and know exactly how the truck stop staff should react to the issue based on the actions you or the average person would take to eliminate the safety hazards. Cleaning up the spills promptly is what you would do, and the truck stop staff should address the issue.

When the staff at the truck stop does not provide the vital yet basic care required for customer safety, they are said to be in breach of duty of care or negligent in their duty of care. And if that negligence is the cause of or contributes to a customer’s slip and fall accident injuries, the truck stop could be responsible for the victim’s losses and expenses due to their injuries.
