Accidents in Circle K and other convenience stores can happen more often than expected. Heavy traffic, high customer volume, and lack of store maintenance could result in a severe accident. Sometimes innocent people are injured by criminals due to Circle K’s negligent security.

At Wolfson & Leon, we understand the pain and frustration accident victims face when they’ve been badly hurt at a convenience store, gas station, or any other place of business. Not only are you dealing with the pain from your injuries, but you may also feel financially stuck as the medical bills start rolling in or if you can’t pay your household expenses because you can’t work.

Headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, Circle K operates a chain of over 15,000 convenience stores worldwide. Circle K is typically open 24 hours a day with an onsite gas station and convenience store that offers coffee and other beverages, hot meals and snacks, and everyday items for your refrigerator or pantry. Circle K stores are known for their Polar Pop or Froster beverages.

While Circle K and other convenience stores can make life easier, they aren't without risks. Circle K owners and operators must keep their property safe for visitors under Florida's premises liability laws. Someone could be seriously hurt if the store's owner or operator doesn't take reasonable steps to ensure safety.

Common causes of Circle K gas station or convenience store accidents include:

• Wet floors caused by leaking or broken coffee pots or soda machines
• Tripping hazards like boxes or carts left in aisles as employees stock shelves
• Loose floor mats or bunched-up rugs that slip out from under a customer when stepped on
• Shelves or displays that stick out into the walkways
• Floors that become slippery from spilled drinks or dropped food
• No warning signs placed by recently mopped floors
• Slips caused by leaking gasoline, oil, or other fluids around pumps
• Broken asphalt, dips, or potholes in parking lots or exterior walkways
• Ramps or other changes in elevation in parking lots that aren’t marked
• Poor lighting inside or around the store
• Lack of security measures taken to prevent criminal activity

You could be badly hurt if the people who own or run your local Circle K convenience store don’t take steps to ensure your safety. These steps typically include regularly checking the property, fixing known dangers, and communicating possible hazards.

Circle K store owners or operators may be negligent if they fail to ensure their customers’ safety while on property. You could be entitled to compensation if you were seriously hurt because of their negligence.

While the injuries suffered in a Circle K accident can be vastly different based on the accident, some of the most common include:

• Traumatic brain injuries like concussions, torn tissues, or brain hemorrhaging
• Hip, collarbone, or pelvis fractures
• Herniated or ruptured discs
• Broken nose, jaw, or other facial bones
• Dislocated bones in the neck that could lead to spinal cord damage
• Compression fractures
• Sprained or torn ligaments in wrists, ankles, or knees
• Nerve damage
• Tendonitis
• Pain in lower back or legs caused by whiplash
• Deep cuts or puncture wounds
• Muscle tears
• Broken bones
• Pain in the back, neck, or shoulder
• Swelling or bruising

You should seek medical attention when you’ve been hurt during a visit to a Circle K convenience store. In some cases, getting medical help is an obvious first step when you've been hurt. Yet, other times, you may feel okay or just have a little pain or discomfort after a Circle K accident. Even in these situations, you still should get checked out. Sometimes, you can’t feel the pain from an injury until a few hours or days later. You could end up hurting yourself more if you don’t seek medical care soon after the accident.

No one expects to be hurt at Circle K or any other gas station or convenience store – but it happens. But if you suffer injury because someone else was negligent, it hardly seems fair that you get stuck paying the bills.

Sometimes, people badly hurt in Circle K or other store accidents don’t seek legal advice because they think the accident was their fault or they can’t afford to pay for help.

Or you might be approached by Circle K's lawyers or their insurance company with a settlement offer. Settling fast may seem like a good option, especially if you can't work until you get better or start getting medical bills in the mail. However, if you don't know your legal rights to compensation, you might accept less than what you are entitled to.

Our Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorneys diligently pursue the best compensation for people who have been badly hurt by someone else's negligent actions or inactions.
