Going to a gas station is just part of your everyday routine. You never really think that you could be involved in a slip and fall accident that could cause a serious injury. However, accidents do happen and there are statistics to prove they are in fact quite common.
Slips and falls often occur without warning so the injuries can be quite serious which means you will be affected financially. Your insurer may not come up with any instant payments so it’s advisable to consult a personal injury lawyer as quickly as possible who will assess your eligibility to file a personal injury claim.
Injuries After a Slip and Fall at a Gas Station
It might appear highly unlikely a fill-up at a gas station could possibly lead to a painful slip and fall injury. However, this is entirely possible if the manager of the gas station has not paid his or her utmost attention to the cleanliness of the forecourt and surrounding areas.
Gas stations always seem to look neat and tidy but their ground surfaces are hard so if you slip on some oil or trash someone has lazily dropped on the floor you could fall and face a serious head injury if you bang your head on a pump or other protrusions.
A serious head injury like a traumatic brain injury could put you in hospital for a long time.
If you are injured at an Arco gas station or any gas station and you are certain that you were not at fault you should file a personal injury claim to get back the financial hardship caused by the injury.
These aren't the only types of accidents that can happen at a gas station, however. If you were hit in your car, you may want to see our resources about that topic: Car Accidents at an Arco Gas Station.
