Have you been the victim of an accident which was not your fault? If you were injured and can prove who or what was responsible you may be able to file a claim against the person or people who were responsible.
If the accident happened on private property, as long as you had the right to be there, you should be covered by premises liability insurance which the property owner takes out to protect against such an eventuality.
Making a successful personal injury claim against any restaurant chain is rarely easy and it really helps to enlist the support and experience of a personal injury attorney.
How a Trip to a Restaurant Might End in an Injury
It’s hardly surprising that an accident in a restaurant could result in some quite serious injuries. No-one goes to a restaurant thinking that they could end up having an accident. It is the unpredictability of a restaurant slip and fall accident that often means more serious injuries than there should be.
Typical slip or trip and fall injuries depend on where exactly the accident happens, what is in the way of the fall or what breaks the fall and how hard the floor is. Injuries could range from minor bruises right through fairly major bone breakages to very serious injuries like spinal damage and brain damage.
The only comforting thing about restaurant slip and fall accidents is that they are rarely fatal. That is no reassurance though to a brain damaged victim of a restaurant accident. Such a person could face many years, if not a life time, of difficult adjustment, just because someone else was careless about the way they maintained a public space.
If you are injured at a Lee Roy Selmon’s, or any place of business, that’s the time that a personal injury claim against the company should be strongly considered.
Getting Compensated For Your Injuries
It’s probably unlikely you would bother going through the hassle of making a personal injury claim unless you had been quite badly injured in a Lee Roy Selmon’s restaurant or anywhere else for that matter.
Have you had to pay for medical treatment out of your own pocket because your own insurance doesn’t cover it? Have you been forced to take time off work? Are you absolutely sure that your accident was avoidable if the restaurant manager or staff had been more careful?
If the answer is yes to these questions you should certainly consider taking legal action.
Reaching a successful settlement is never that easy, but you can start the ball rolling by contacting an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as you can after the accident to discuss your legal options.
