Burger King Accident Injury Lawyer

When you walk into a Burger King for a fast meal or snack, you expect it to be safe and free of common issues that could result in an accident and injury. Most of us never even think of the possibility of a hazard that could result in a trip to the emergency room or a need for medical attention. But the dangers are real and exist in almost every Burger King you enter every week. The most hazardous of these conditions include:

• Slip and fall injury incidents due to wet floors. The hazard could be because of a drink that was spilled, a leaking water line, or a clogged drain. But the result is all too often a slip and fall that causes significant injuries to the unsuspecting victim. Also, beware of wet floors that were recently mopped and have no caution signs alerting you to the extra care that is needed to avoid an injury.
• Trip and fall accident injuries can occur inside the Burger King restaurant or outside. You could face damaged sidewalk or parking lot surfaces that could cause a trip and fall harm before entering the store. Or the trip and fall could be caused by a damaged or folded floor mat, damaged floor surface, electrical cords or hoses left on the floor, or boxes that were left in the walkway instead of being correctly stowed in inventory.
• Injuries from falling objects are considered less common in Burger King because they do not display items on shelving units as a store would. However, lights, pictures, décor items, and ceiling tiles can still fall on patrons and cause significant injuries.
• Burn injuries could be caused by hot food or drinks, as well as damaged electrical cords or malfunctioning lighting. Patrons need to be proactive when picking up a drink to ensure the cup is not damaged and the lid is secured correctly. In addition, check food temperatures carefully and avoid touching lights or other electrical fixtures that could result in an electrical shock or burn.
• Assault and battery is typically thought of as an issue that is blamed on an attacker. However, if there are dark or overly secluded spaces in a BK, the store could share in the liability for injuries caused by an assault incident. The store could also be responsible if the attack were from a security employee at the store.
• Sexual assault, much like assault and battery, is typically blamed on the attacker. However, when Burger King does not provide adequate security, there are remote seating areas or poorly lit spaces, and they could share liability for these incidents.

These are just some of the incidents that you might encounter on your next visit to Burger King. And when you suffer injuries at any of the locations in California, it is essential you contact DTLA Law Group to speak to a Burger King accident injury lawyer. You need to know as quickly as possible if you have the right to sue Burger King for your losses and expenses caused by your injuries and how to protect yourself from the excessive medical expenses that you will incur in the future.

Many people think they can sue Burger King for any injury that occurs on their property. However, it is not that simple. Typically, for a victim to have the right to sue Burger King for injuries sustained at a restaurant, the incident must be caused by staff negligence.

Establishing negligence involves examining how well the team at BK followed the guidelines of duty of care to ensure the safety of customers at the restaurant. Duty of care is part of premises liability law and defines the minimum level of maintenance and care that must be provided by a business or property owner or their staff. The standard level is defined as what would be provided by the average prudent person. So you can imagine how you would handle common safety hazards in your home to know what is expected of the Burger King staff.

For example, if you would mop up spilled drinks to avoid a slip and fall injury incident, the staff at BK should do the same. And if you would repair a light that is no longer properly attached to the ceiling to prevent it from falling on a guest, then the Burger King staff should act accordingly. And if they cannot fix the issue, they should mark the area with caution signs to alert customers of the issue or close the section until it is repaired if the risk is significant.

When the staff at Burger King does not meet the minimum level of care required, they are negligent in their duty of care. And if that negligence is found to have caused or contributed to a patron’s accident injuries, the store could be held responsible for the victim’s losses and expenses due to their injuries. This is when your DTLA Law Group Burger King Accident injury lawyer will advise you of your right to seek compensation via a lawsuit.

The value of your Burger King accident injury claim will be determined by calculating your allowable expenses created by the injuries you suffered. The most common items included in a personal injury lawsuit claim are:

• All medical expenses related to the injuries sustained at BK
• The value of any personal property damaged or destroyed in the incident
• Your lost income if the injuries prevent you from working
• The cost of legal fees from your DTLA Law Group Burger King accident injury lawyer

In the event of severe injuries, it is common to include an amount to compensate the victim for the pain and suffering caused by their injuries. Your legal team will assist you in selecting a suitable amount if this applies to your claim.

Personal injury victims are given two years from the incident date to file a claim against Burger King for their losses and expenses. If the case is not filed with the court by then, the victim will lose the right to seek compensation for losses and damage from that event.
