Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores, simply known as Love’s or Loves, is a chain of truck stops and convenience stores in the United States. Currently, the company has over 630 locations and ranked number 10 on Forbes list of America’s largest privately owned companies. The business has 2 primary types of stores – a fueling station with a convenience store and a full-scale truck stop with menu items from various fast food restaurants, showers, RV hookups and laundry facilities.
There is no denying that trucks stops like Love’s are a valuable asset when you are on the road for days, perhaps, weeks at a time. But the downside to trucks stops is the number of hazards that exist on the property at any given time. Hopefully, the property is kept in good condition by a diligent staff that’s committed to cleaning, inspecting, and making repairs on a regular basis. When there is a failure to exercise reasonable care, guests and visitors at a Love’s Travel Stops location may be injured from:
- Auto accidents on the property
- Slip and fall
- Trip and fall
- Assault and battery / sexual assault
- Hit by falling object
- Injuries in truck stop bathrooms
- Burn injuries / electrical fires
- Food poisoning
- Choking on a foreign object found in food

Can I Sue Love’s Travel Stops for my Accident?
Yes, you can sue for injuries caused by a dangerous condition or misconduct by someone working for Love’s. Essentially, we are talking about negligence, or not taking preventative measures to keep people safe on your property. Acts of negligence also include a failure to take appropriate action when someone has been harmed, like not calling the police upon learning about a potentially dangerous person on the premises.
You can also file a claim for being injured by a third party if you were beaten up, robbed, or sexually assaulted because of the company’s failure to provide adequate security. This can include a failure to implement additional security measures if there is a history of criminal incidents on the property.
As an injury victim, there are numerous categories of payments you may be entitled to. These include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Value of lost or damaged property
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Cost of legal fees
- Punitive damages

Average Value of a Love’s Travel Stop Accident Claim
The value of a truck stop injury claim can start at just a few thousand dollars and go all the up to $5,000,000 and above. Cases involving fall accidents typically settle for $125,000 or more at our law firm, while falling object incidents often settle for $175,000 to $2,750,000. Lawsuits for assault and battery are worth $100,000 to $3,000,000 on average based on the degree of bodily harm and emotional trauma. At the end of the day, each case has its own set of circumstances that are used to determine how much compensation the victim is entitled to. A personal injury lawyer at our office can help you figure out how much to ask for if you are interested in suing Love’s Travel Stop for an accident.
How Long Do these Cases Take to Settle?
The time required to settle a premises liability claim can be anywhere from several months to over 3 years. Generally, those with mild to moderate injuries from an accident at Love’s Travel Stop can probably settle their claim within the first 6 months. But the more serious your injury, the longer it may take to reach a settlement with the company. As a result, it’s not uncommon for these cases to take between 12 and 24 months, and even longer if there is a trial. Overall, it’s unlikely that your case will be tried in court, as more than 95% of all personal injury lawsuits are settled between the plaintiff and defendant. Nevertheless, achieving a fair settlement award can take longer than expected, which can be a source of frustration for injury victims and their loved ones.
No matter how long it takes, please know that our legal team is with you every step of the way. You can count on us for prompt answers when you have questions, along with encouragement and reassurance throughout your case. If you are interested in speaking to a lawyer that can help you file a Love’s Travel Stop injury accident lawsuit, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
What is the Deadline if I want to Sue Love’s Travel Stops?
Victims of negligence in California typically have 2 years to file a legal case against the liable entity. So, that gives you 2 years from when the accident took place to sue Loves’ Travel Stops for a slip and fall or any other type of accident. You also have 2 years to file a lawsuit for assault and battery caused by lack of security or any other conditions that should have been resolved by the owner or staff members.
In the event you are a victim of sexual assault, you have 10 years to file a claim from the incident date if you were legally an adult at the time. For those who were sexually assaulted as minors, you are allowed to file a lawsuit within 22 years of your 18th birthday. Please note that the statute of limitations to sue for sexual abuse is a complicated matter, so please verify how long you have for a lawsuit with a member of our legal team.
