A woman who says she was injured in a Hollywood, Florida slip and fall accident at a local gas station is suing RaceTrac for Broward County personal injury. Isaura Velez is seeking damages for injuries she sustained last year. Velez says she was entering the RaceTrac store at S. Pine Island Road when she slipped and fell because no one told her that the floor was wet.
RaceTrac is a petroleum conglomerate. This is at least the second South Florida injury lawsuit filed against RaceTrac in the last few months.
Susan and Richard Gold filed their Pompano Beach slip and fall lawsuit over his injuries that they contend he sustained when he slipped on gas that overflowed from their motor vehicle’s gas tank. The Golds believe that the pump was defective, which is why it kept pouring gas even though the tank was already full.
During the South Florida slip and accident, Richard says that he hurt his head, arms, neck, back, and legs. He believes that if the gas pump hadn’t been faulty, his Broward County premises liability accident wouldn’t have happened. Susan says she is owed personal injury damages because she experienced the loss of her husband’s services and consortium because of his injuries.
It is important that you work with a Hollywood, Florida slip and fall accident lawyer that has the experience to obtain compensation from the liable party. Other common types of fall accident include step and fall accidents, stump and fall accidents, and trip and fall accidents.
Property owners are supposed to eliminate hazards that can cause South Florida slip and fall accidents. This may include cleaning up wet surfaces, clearing off debris or other objects on the ground that could cause someone to fall, repairing uneven sidewalks or unbalanced flooring, or posting up warning signs when the floor is wet.
