Poorly maintained premises can be accident prone. Few accidents are due to chance alone. Most of them have a human cause.
If you slip up and take a spill because you were not really concentrating on where you were going or what you were doing then there is nothing more you can do about it but put up with the consequences, but if he accident was the fault of a property owner or someone who worked for them, then it would not be fair for you to suffer financially.
The best advice is for you to file a claim for compensation if you have been hurt. Personal injury attorneys handle these sorts of accidents all the time and are able to help you recover what you have lost because of an injury that wasn’t your fault.
Accidents Could Happen in Any Restaurant
It’s true that you could theoretically slip over and injure yourself practically everywhere, but there are always certain factors that make some places more accident prone than others. It takes a record of poor maintenance or a sloppy attitude towards cleanliness to get injured in many eateries.
Most restaurants thankfully do not fit into this category but every once in awhile, if standards slip, hazards appear and someone gets hurt.
You can bust a few bones or wrench a joint if you come down hard on the type of floor surface generally favored by many restaurants. They are rarely carpeted because smooth floors are easy to keep clean. That means they can also be slippery if they are wet or something is spilled on them, like a soda or smoothie.
Contact a Lawyer After an Accident
Even if you think the facts are clear cut, no restaurant owner likes to admit that they have been negligent and their insurer is even less likely to hand over a compensation payment readily unless they are pushed into doing so. Compensation claims can be difficult to negotiate unless you have professional legal help.
Personal injury lawyers handle these sorts of accidents on a regular basis and will usually give you a free initial consultation to work out whether the circumstances of your accident are worth filing a claim. It can be a lot easier letting the lawyer fight your case than going it alone.
