When you and your family go to a restaurant it’s often because you want a change in routine and enjoy a meal with family and friends where there is no preparation and no washing up to do.
You certainly don’t go out to slip and fall on an unexpected obstacle and end up seriously injured or in hospital.
If you have slipped and fallen on a substance that should have been cleaned up you may be entitled to file a personal injury claim if your injuries require treatment and time off work to recover.
An experienced personal injury attorney should be contacted as soon as possible who will determine if your accident means you are eligible for compensation because it was not your fault.
Slip and Fall Accidents Can Happen in an Ice Cream Outlet
Ice cream melts easily, especially on a hot day, and it can drip onto the floor of an ice cream store. This is the most likely case for a slip and fall to take place in an ice cream parlor.
A careful restaurant owner will ensure staff keeps on top of cleaning and will make sure that customers are safe from accidents while they enjoy eating their ice creams and frozen custard products. Not all restaurants are as careful as they should be when keeping public accessible areas clean.
This is the time when a serious slip and fall accident could take place which could mean a severe head injury if the victim falls and hits his or her head on a sharp corner of a table or chair.
A traumatic brain injury which takes place when there is a sharp blow to the head can have long term consequences often involving a long recovery time and even a stay in hospital.
Time Is Important If You Wish to Get Compensation
If you believe your injury was not your fault and you have been financially disadvantaged because of someone else’s negligence you shouldn’t wait too long before hiring a personal injury attorney.
Before a claim can be filed it’s important for your attorney to gather as much evidence as possible to increase your chances of receiving compensation.
