Slip and Fall Injuries in a Kum & Go Store*

If you have slipped and hurt yourself on the forecourt of a gas station or inside a convenience store, it is usually because you didn’t know that a hazard was there. Store and gas station owners and operators are responsible for the safety of their customers while they are using their property.

If you weren’t to blame for your own injuries, you may be able to make a claim for fair compensation against whoever was at fault. You will find that a personal injury attorney’s legal assistance could make all the difference in achieving a satisfactory outcome for the claim.

It’s No Fun If You are Injured at a Convenience Store

Hardly anyone considers the possibility of an accident at a convenience store or gas station. That’s why injuries are likely to be more serious than you might expect.

While you are hardly likely to bother with a personal injury claim if your injuries are superficial or insignificant, it may be necessary if you experience serious injuries due to someone's negligence.

Gas stations and convenience stores are often potentially hazardous as there is a high chance of experiencing leakages of liquids, like oils, water or other slippery materials. Additionally, there are other potentially hazardous objects like loose tires, wheels, tools, and cables that could cause a trip or slip.

A poorly managed location is where a severe slip and fall accident is most likely to take place. That’s the scenario where it is sensible to make a personal injury claim against convenience store or a similar establishment.

While slip and falls at gas stations can be common, you may have been injured while in your car, either parking or having parked. If this is the case, you may want to get some more information about car crashes in this scenario. To find out more, please visit our page: Car Accidents at a Kum & Go Gas Station.

Injured at a Convenience Store? Make a Personal Injury Claim!

It’s no use hoping that a convenience store owner or manager is going to offer compensation without a bit of a struggle. The standard procedure is to blame you, the injured person, even if you are quite confident that it was not your fault.

You will need the services of an experienced attorney if you are contemplating making a personal injury claim against whoever was at fault. Most PI attorneys provide their services on a contingency fee basis, so there is no need to reach into your pocket to pay legal expenses until a satisfactory settlement is made.
