If you have been injured at Crumbl Cookies, or any other restaurant, due to the restaurant’s owner's failure to address hazardous conditions you may be entitled to compensation. Restaurants like Crumbl Cookies have liability insurance which they need in the event of an accident on their premises caused by the negligence of the owner, management, or staff. As long as you have evidence that your injuries were caused by negligence on the part of the restaurant you may have grounds for a personal injury claim. A personal injury attorney can help you with your claim.
Possible Injuries From a Slip and Fall Accident
Slip and fall injuries are the most common types of accidents that occur in fast food restaurants like Crumbl Cookies. They are typically caused when the floor surface has been allowed to become wet or greasy, making the floor slippery and hazardous. Slip and fall accidents tend to happen unexpectedly and can cause serious accidents depending on various factors such as:
- the age of the accident victim;
- how the accident victim fell down, e.g. which part of the body hit the ground first;
- how the victim reacted to the fall;
- whether anything sharp or hard was hit as the victim fell down;
- what assistance and emergency treatment could be provided after the fall.
How to Win a Slip and Fall Claim
To win a slip and fall personal injury claim, you need to have clear evidence that:
- you had an accident on the restaurant’s premises and this accident caused you to have an injury;
- the accident could have been prevented if the owner/management or staff had acted more diligently – the fact that the accident was caused by negligence on the part of the restaurant is a key aspect of your claim;
- the injury was severe enough to mean that you had unexpected expenses for medical treatment, loss of income, and non-economic damages such as experience of pain and suffering, all of which you are claiming for.
It is important that you have evidence for all of the above. Make sure that you do not admit fault, e.g. confess that you weren’t looking where you were walking. If you can, at the accident scene, ask any onlookers and eyewitnesses, even if they were restaurant staff to act as witnesses to your accident. You may be able to take a photo of the hazard that caused the accident. Security camera footage may be requested by your attorney if this is likely to be useful.
