California Food Truck Door Accident Injury Lawyer

When you think about having a meal from a food truck in California, you are probably very focused on the variety of selections you could order, the quality of the food, and how much you will enjoy it. Food truck courts are well-known for their amazing aroma and crowds of satisfied customers. The last thing on your mind is likely what you would do if there were suddenly an accident or incident that caused the food truck door that is used as a serving counter to fall.

It sounds hard to imagine, but it is a possibility. Many of these doors that double as a serving area are held at a 90-degree angle to be parallel to the ground by a few pieces of chain or are supported from below by folding brackets. When the owner arrives at their location, they fold out the brackets and open the large door or attach the chains to the door and slowly lower it into place. But if an unsuspecting customer runs into the brackets or a chain is knocked loose, the heavy door can go crashing down to the side of the truck with great force. In addition, any hot food or drinks that were placed on the door/serving counter will spill on the crowd outside the food truck. As a result of these incidents, patrons can suffer a myriad of injuries that include:

• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Compound fractures
• Partial or complete amputations
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
• Damage to internal orangs or internal bleeding
• Severe burns
• Joint dislocations and damage to the soft connective tissue of the joints
• Damage to the back, neck, or spinal cord
• Soft tissue damage and destruction of nerve tissue
• Head injuries that include a skull fracture, severe concussion, brain bleed, or other traumatic brain injuries
• Injuries to the face involving the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or the delicate facial skin

Much like if you were eating at a restaurant with a dining room located in a brick and mortar building, the owner of the food truck is responsible for the function and safety of the truck. They have the legal obligation to routinely inspect the truck for damage or wear and tear that could result in a failure, such as the serving counter/door falling on customers. If the owner of the food truck has ignored that obligation or has ignored issues such as signs of damage to the support structure of the door/counter, they could be liable for the harm you suffered.

In these cases, the food truck owner is negligent in their duty of care to provide a safe serving area for customers and could be held responsible for the losses and expenses the incident caused to injured victims. If sorting out all the details and legal nuances of the California food truck door accident that caused your injuries sounds too overwhelming for you to handle, please know that all you need to do is reach out to the staff at DTLA Law Group, and they will handle everything on your behalf.

As a personal injury victim who suffered harm because of another person’s negligence, you need to understand that the court does not award standard or predetermined compensation amounts to injury victims. Instead, each case is carefully evaluated, and the compensation that the victim will receive is based on the actual losses and expenses they incurred because of the incident. Working with your DTLA Law Group California food truck door accident injury lawyer, you will gather all the documentation to verify your allowable expenses. These items will then be tabulated to determine the compensation sought by your food truck door accident injury lawsuit. The items most commonly used in this process include but are not always limited to:

• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the food truck door injury incident
• The cost of all legal services related to preparing, filing, and litigating your food truck door injury lawsuit
• The cost of all current and future medical expenses related to diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating the harm sustained in the food truck door incident, as well as any therapy or counseling to handle the stress and trauma of the accident and injuries
• Your lost income if the harm caused by the food truck door prevented you from working at your regular job until you were fully healed and cleared by your medical care providers to return to the tasks of your job

In cases that result in severe harm or that require a lengthy treatment and recovery process, the court permits the injury victim to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount like your legal and medical bills, you will rely on the DTLA Law Group legal team to guide you in selecting a fair and reasonable amount for this aspect of the compensation. They will refer to recently settled cases with similar injuries or details to ensure you are seeking the most robust amount the court will see fit to grant for the pain and suffering you endured.

As the victim of personal injuries, you are given two years from the date of the injury incident to file your lawsuit with the court. This time limit is strictly enforced, and once it has passed, you lose the right to seek compensation and justice for the losses and expenses caused by this specific injury incident. It is also vital to know that once the original time limit has expired, it is very difficult for the victim to secure added time to file their claim with the court. Please reach out to DTLA Law Group today to discuss your case with our expert food truck door accident injury lawyers and gain a better understanding of the time needed and remaining for you to pursue a lawsuit.
