It can be hard to know exactly what to do if you have a bad accident while out of your own home. Common accidents like slipping over and landing on the floor can cause intense pain and nasty injuries. If an accident like this has been caused by a pre existing hazard that shouldn’t have been there you might be able to file a claim for compensation if you have suffered financially.
Hospital bills and loss of income may be recoverable through a personal injury claim and give you the best shot at getting back on your feet after an accident that was not your fault.
Slip and Fall Injuries in a Mexican Style Restaurant
Accidents don’t just happen out of the blue. There is always a cause. If you slip over or trip up in a restaurant, the most likely cause is a floor surface that is uneven, slippery or encumbered by debris that has inadvertently spilled on the floor.
The worst thing about these sorts of accidents is that they are almost always entirely unexpected.
Let’s face it if you knew that you could slip over, you would be extra careful. Slip and fall accidents in any restaurant can be quite serious with broken bones, sprains, dislocations, cuts and bruises all possible.
You tend to fling your arm or arms out when you are taken off guard and can land awkwardly on the floor or worse hit something sharp or hard as you fall down.
It’s not unusual to end up hospitalized after a bad slip-and-fall accident. Well managed restaurants rarely experience these sorts of accidents. They happen because the standards of cleanliness and management of staff are not as good as they should be.
It's Your Right to File a Claim
If you have been injured through no fault of your own, rather because of a restaurant manager’s negligence, you have the right to file a claim for fair compensation for any financial losses you have incurred.
It is important that you have sufficient proof that the accident was not your fault and that you suffered an injury that has impacted on you financially.
If you think that the restaurant or insurance company is going to be uncooperative, you should contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
