Busy roads with busy drivers mean busy gas stations. With all these busy activities taking place there seems to be more and more car crashes. These are most common when drivers are entering and leaving the gas station where there are so many distractions that the drivers often become disoriented.
Just a minute or so of distraction and a serious car accident can take place leaving injured victims dealing with not only serious injuries but financial burdens too.
If you are a victim of a car crash at a gas station you should consider filing a personal injury compensation claim if the crash was not your fault.
A busy set-up has many car crashes, leaving many victims with serious, life-altering injuries.
Common Car Crashes At Gas Stations
Cumberland Farms gas stations are popular, like many gas station chains, meaning several kinds of accidents are possible including:
- driving into the gas station too fast and rear-ending a parked car;
- turning too abruptly in the forecourt causing a head on collision with an oncoming car;
- side swiping a car when driving too close when leaving the gas station forecourt;
- reversing into the path of another car due to inattention and speed.
If you are one of those unfortunate victims who has been injured by a driver in a car crash in a gas station, the first thing you should do is record the details of the accident and take some photos of the crash scene.
This will help you win a successful personal injury claim if the evidence shows you weren’t the cause of the accident. You will have to be able to prove that the accident was not your fault in order to be considered for compensation.
A Personal Injury Attorney for a Car Crash
Most successful claims for compensation take place when a personal injury attorney has been hired to act on the victim’s behalf.
A personal injury attorney knows the rules of the personal injury game and will leave no stones unturned until a favorable settlement with those concerned has been reached.
