California Lawyer for Accident Claims at Yoshinoya

There are many different accidents that can cause harm and suffering to customers at Yoshinoya. For now, let’s take a look at the most common sources of injury at a restaurant:

• Slip and fall / trip and fall – fall accidents are the leading cause of injuries at stores and restaurants, due to the many things that fall onto the floor. These include water and beverages, grease from food, napkins, and utensils. People can also trip and fall down from loose wiring, uneven flooring, poorly designed handrails, and lack of or poor lighting.
• Food poisoning claims – Yoshinoya takes pride in using fresh ingredients, such as meat, vegetables, and eggs. Proper storage and handling of ingredients is exceptionally important, as failure in these areas may result in food poisoning.
• Foreign object in food – Food preparation is also critical to ensuring that there are no foreign objects in a customer’s order. Objects like plastic, metal, nails, glass, stones, and insects can cause illness and dental injuries, like broken tooth and bone fractures.
• Burn injuries – There is always the risk of burning someone where hot food is concerned. Employees must pay careful attention to the way they package a customer’s order, like making sure that lids are secure and tight, and there are no cracks or holes in the container. Burn accidents also happen when a worker is careless ns how they hand over an order to a customer.
• Assault in store due to security issues – when there is a lack of security at a commercial property, it’s only a matter of time before someone is physically or sexually assaulted. This can happen inside the store or in outdoor areas like the parking lot.
• Parking lot accident – exposed rebar, pot holes, lack of traffic signs, failure to remove ice and many other hazards are responsible for accidents in restaurant parking lots. In addition, vagrants and other trespassers may take advantage of insufficient security in a parking lot to commit incidents of assault and battery.
• Drive through accident –most of these accidents are due to negligence by another driver, like a rear-end collision caused by someone that was texting on their phone. But lack of maintenance and poor design may contribute to these accidents as well, which can make the restaurant liable for injuries to a customer at a drive thru.

You may have the right to sue Yoshinoya for monetary compensation if you meet the following conditions, which are based on the concept of premises liability:

• Did you have a legitimate reason to be on the property at the time of the injury?
• Was the injury caused by a condition that the owner / employees were aware of, or should have been aware of?
• Was it possible for the business to take care of the hazardous condition through reasonable means, i.e., cleaning, making repairs, replacing defective items, etc.?
• Did you suffer bodily harm as a result of your accident at the restaurant?
• Have you sustained monetary losses due to the injuries from your accident?

If your answer to all these questions is “yes,” there’s a good chance that you will succeed in a personal injury lawsuit against a business owner. Of course, you will still need evidence to prove that the store was negligent in their duty of care to you. You must also have the knowledge and experience to overcome any arguments by Yoshinoya’s insurance company, as their goal is to settle your case for the lowest possible amount. The accident injury lawyers of DTLA are ready to guide you through the legal process and secure every penny of the settlement you deserve.

The resulting injuries from an accident at a restaurant are fairly serious in most cases. That’s why $150,000 to $2,500,000 is a fair estimate range for injury settlements paid by places like Yoshinoya. If the injuries are catastrophic in nature, meaning they impact the victim’s ability to work and live independently, a personal injury award may exceed $5 million. On the other hand, some cases are worth under $50,000 as they involve minor injuries or shared liability by the plaintiff and the defendant. As you can see, there are great variations in how much a victim is entitled to from an accident claim. A premises liability lawyer here at our office can sit down with you and help you figure out a fair payment amount based on the circumstances of your accident.

If you were injured on a residential property, we can probably reach a settlement with the homeowner in just a few months. But the timeline is generally longer when the negligent party is a major franchise. These entities have more money and resources to devote to a legal case, which means it can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months before a settlement is successfully negotiated. In the event we have to take additional legal actions, like scheduling mediation or going to trial, it may take two years or longer to bring closure to a restaurant injury accident case.

Legal actions involving bodily harm by a property owner have a 2-year statute of limitation. Essentially, this means that you have 2 years from the accident date to file a lawsuit for incidents like slip and falls, food poisoning, and burns caused by a restaurant employee. Sexual assault lawsuits, however, have a 10-year statute of limitations if you were 18 years of age or older at the time of the assault. Cases involving minors have a much longer statute of limitations – up to 22 years after turning 18 years old.

It’s essential to verify the exact time limit you have for an accident claim with one of our attorneys. There may be exceptions that apply to your case, which may allow additional time to file a lawsuit. But even if an extension is possible, you would have to petition the courts right away to ensure that you do not run out of time to seek monetary damages from Yoshinoya.
