Slip and Fall Accidents at a Restaurant
Accidents can happen just about anywhere and you don’t have to be careless to slip, trip or fall over some kind of hazard that you never anticipated.
If you injure yourself badly falling over because of a slippery floor or a fallen branch in your way, the immediate thought might be how much it is going to cost you in the long run.
Serious accidents need some serious consideration about who was to blame for the accident.
If someone else was at fault, you may be able to get legal help from a personal injury lawyer. A successful claim for compensation made against someone who was liable may help you to cope with the unexpected cost of your injuries and get your life back on track.
Slip and Fall Accidents in a Fast Food Restaurant
No-one deliberately sets out to break their leg or become brain damaged in a serious slip and fall accident and fast food restaurant chains do not deliberately set out to make their premises unsafe for their patrons.
If a serious accident happens, whether it is in a Popeyes Chicken restaurant or any other restaurant, it can lead to a negative image for the company.
However, not every member of staff, nor every manager, is on the ball all the time and a lapse in standards or a careless act by an employee can end up in someone being injured.
Typical slip and fall accidents in a fast food restaurant include:
- Food remains or trash left on the floor
- Slippery floor surface caused by spilled sodas, coffee or other drinks
- Recently mopped floors
- Torn or loose floor covering, linoleum or carpet
- Slippery entryway from oil, food, trash, snow, ice or rainwater
- Hot liquids or food

Don’t Try and Negotiate Alone
Establishments such as fast food restaurants have a legal duty to provide a safe environment for their customers. If an accident happens on their property, their premises liability insurance should cover a claim as long as negligence can be proven.
However, trying to negotiate with a manager, restaurant staff, company representatives and their insurance company by yourself after an injury is likely to lead to failure or an offer of compensation which does not match your real needs.
A personal injury lawyer will assess your situation thoroughly, seek out evidence that establishes liability and pursue your claim vigorously.
