If you have been injured in some kind of avoidable accident, you may be wondering who is going to pay all the bills that could pile up after visits to the doctor and medical center or hospital. It all depends on whether you can prove who was to blame for the accident. If you slipped over in the forecourt of a store, for instance, and believe it was the store employees’ fault, you may be able to make a personal injury claim.
How You Could Wind Up Being Injured at a Store
If you do wind up being injured at a Casey’s store or any store, it could be because the store manager or one of the employees failed to prioritize customer safety. Most causes of convenience store and gas station accidents are when a hazard exists on the property. These hazards will most likely be:
- some kind of slippery surface
- loose bits of material, debris, equipment, wires, cables or pipes
- the aforementioned items left strewn around in an untidy mess
Most accident victims in places like a Store are not expecting to slip and fall over. The accident, when it happens, is unexpected and can cause significant injuries. Even alert and agile customers may still fall victim to an unexpected slip and fall or trip and fall calamity.
Injuries like simple cuts and bruises are unlikely to lead to a personal injury claim. But if the injury or injuries are more serious, such as substantial damage to the eyes or teeth, then a personal injury claim against the store should be considered if you are unable to bear the expenses that result from the injury.
A Personal Injury Attorney Can Help with a Personal Injury Claim
It is better to leave the negotiating to an experienced personal injury attorney if you are considering making a personal injury claim. The attorney will have dealt with cases like yours many times before and will not only be able to advise whether to sue but can pursue the claim on your behalf.
