Cape Coral Circle K Accident Lawyer

Circle K and other neighborhood convenience stores can make life a little easier. Since convenience stores are found on busy streets or within neighborhoods, you pick up some milk or eggs, grab a cup of coffee on your way to work, or fill up your gas tank as you go about your day.

Convenience stores like Circle K can get pretty busy during the day. Circle K owners or operators may be less focused on the safety of the store’s customers with so much activity going on at the gas pumps and in the store. You could be badly hurt if reasonable steps aren't taken to ensure your safety while visiting a Cape Coral Circle K.

If you’ve been seriously injured shopping at your local Circle K, you should speak with a Cape Coral convenience store accident lawyer. You could be compensated for your damage if someone else's negligence caused your injuries. Learn legal rights you have when you've been severely hurt at a Circle K or any other convenience store by calling Wolfson & Leon today for a free consultation at (239) 471-0714.

The first Circle K stores were opened in 1951 in El Paso, Texas. By 1957, Circle K opened stores in New Mexico and Arizona. Over the years, the company continued to expand. By 2024, there were 6,958 Circle K stores throughout the United States.

Open 24 hours a day, you can fill up your gas tank, buy gift cards, or pick up something to eat at any time. You can find three Circle K locations in Cape Coral at;

• 5 Del Prado Blvd
• 1829 Skyline Blvd
• 819 SE 26^th Street

While some Circle K stores are franchises, most are company-owned and operated. With Florida’s premises liability laws, store owners and operators must keep the property safe for visitors. The Circle K owners or operators are expected to take steps to maintain a safe store, such as conducting regular inspections, fixing known defects, and advising visitors of possible hazards.

Someone could get hurt if the owner or operator of the Circle K convenience store doesn’t take such steps. Possible reasons for a Circle K accident in Cape Coral include:

• Spilled coffee or drinks that leave floors wet when not cleaned up quickly
• Leaking refrigerators, freezers, or soda machines
• Sinks or toilets that leave floors wet if they overflow
• Boxes, carts, or other packing materials left in aisles by employees restocking shelves
• Product displays that stick out into the aisles could cause someone to trip
• Waxed or mopped floors that aren’t marked
• Top-heavy or poorly constructed store displays that tip over
• Parking lot trips and falls caused by broken pavement, hidden curbs, or dips in asphalt
• Falls over ramps, speedbumps, or other parking lot elevation changes not marked
• Parking lot paint that doesn’t have non-slip materials could become slippery when it gets wet
• Dim exterior lighting at night
• Lack of security around the store or in the parking lot
• Struck by falling merchandise, displays, or overhead signs.

Whether you slipped on a wet floor, injured by a criminal or were hit by a falling display, some Circle K accidents can leave you seriously hurt. Severe injuries that could happen when you visit a Cape Coral Circle K include:

• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injuries, like concussions or torn tissues
• Nerve damage
• Injury to the spinal cord
• Sprained ankles, knees, or wrists
• Puncture wounds
• Hip or pelvic fractures
• Herniated disc
• Neck or back injuries
• Dislocated shoulder
• Cuts and bruises

When you’ve suffered a substantial injury at Circle K, seeking immediate medical help may be an apparent step. Yet even if your injuries don’t seem that bad or you feel ok after the accident, it’s still a good idea to see a doctor as soon after the accident as possible. Sometimes, the damage caused by an accident isn’t immediately apparent. You could go for a few hours or even days before realizing you’ve been hurt. If you delay seeking medical attention, you could make the damage worse.

If you were gravely hurt at Circle K, you may be able to seek compensation when you pursue a premises liability claim. However, these cases are complicated as you must demonstrate negligence on behalf of a store owner, operator, or another responsible party who caused the accident and your injuries. Suffering a severe injury in a Circle K accident may not be enough to recover financial compensation if you cannot prove that negligence resulted in your injuries.
