If you have an accident in your own home you can only blame yourself, but if it happens on someone else’s property there is always the possibility that it wasn’t you fault.
Property owners who have property that is accessible to the public take out insurance to cover the chance of an accident on their premises. This means that if you can prove that the property owner was responsible through their own negligence or because of negligence by their staff you may be able to claim a payment in compensation if you have suffered any injuries as a result of the accident.
It is always sensible to contact an experienced attorney before you decide to file a claim against the at-fault party.
How Could You Get Hurt at a Pizza Place
It’s common practice for fast food restaurants to minimize the effort needed to clean the restaurant. That usually means installing smooth, hard surfaces which are relatively easy to keep clean. These floors can be very slippery if anything is spilled on the surface. They can also be extremely slippery as a result of being mopped during normal cleaning sessions.
Usually a restaurant will ensure nobody slips over by keeping the area away from use or putting up a warning sign to warn customers of the danger of the wet floor. If the restaurant is very busy or the manager does not maintain high standards of cleanliness, customers could easily slip over on debris scattered on the floor or on wet, but clean surfaces if a warning sign has not been erected.
Seek Compensation for Their Negligence
Personal injury attorneys deal with accidents on a regular basis. An experienced attorney will have likely developed a good understanding of what you need to prove negligence and are very helpful if you are unsure of your own situation. Most PI attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means you have nothing to lose by asking for their professional opinion.
If your case is reasonable, the attorney can help you file a claim for adequate and fair compensation.
Premises liability insurance can cover costs of any medical treatment or surgery and lost income as a result of the accident. It might also cover an amount for pain and suffering and even punitive damages in some states if the level of negligence was judged to be excessive.
