Slip and Fall Injury at BP Gas Station in Boynton Beach

Boynton Beach, Florida, boasts two BP gas stations, both located on West Boynton Beach Boulevard. The stations are open 24 hours, catering not only to regular commuters, but also to late night customers and long-haul drivers stopping in the middle of the night or the early morning for fuel or food.

The stations are full-service and attract large numbers of customers. These customers come to gas stations, such as the Boynton Beach BP station and others, expecting a safe environment, but may face unseen hazards due to negligence by the owner or manager of the property. An unsuspecting visitor may fail to notice dangers on the ground that cause them to slip or trip and result in injury. In these "slip and fall" cases, the attorneys at Frankl Kominsky can assist victims try and recover the damages they deserve.

If you or a loved one slipped or tripped at a BP gas station, or any other gas station in Boynton Beach, your first reaction may be embarrassment, and you may be tempted to ignore the situation because of that reaction. However, slip and fall injuries can be extremely serious. Some may require short-term care, such as cuts or abrasions, but others may be very serious and require long-term care. Some of the more serious injuries from slip and fall accidents include knee and ankle injuries, including tears to the meniscus or anterior cruciate ligament (ACL); injuries to the elbow or shoulder, including torn rotator cuffs or shattered elbows; head and neck injuries; back and spine injuries; hip injuries, including fractures.

Sometimes injuries from slip and fall accidents are not immediately obvious. Individuals who fall or trip at a BP station or any other gas station in Boynton need to be aware that the extend of an injury may not become apparent for several days. Therefore, anyone injured in any slip and fall should seek medical care to assess the extent of the injury.

The owners of gas stations such as the BP stations in Boynton Beach are required by law to maintain a safe environment for clients. That means they must keep the floors and aisles clean and free of debris, they must clean up spills quickly, and they need to ensure that pavement is even and without major potholes. If the owners or managers fail to exercise their legal duty to keep the premises safe, they may be negligent and liable for damages caused by a slip and fall on their property.

At gas stations, there are numerous situations that can cause problems for clients. Spilled gasoline or soapy water; broken bottles or fluid from dropped cans; overflowing toilets or loose tiles can all contribute to an unsafe environment. Likewise, if items block aisles or if boxes make access difficult, a customer may trip or slip and suffer injuries.

In all these hypothetical cases, the gas stations, such as the BP station or others, would be responsible. The individual who suffered the injury should not have to face the burden of medical bills, lost wages, or long term care because of negligence by the Boynton Beach BP owner, manager, or employees.
