Common San Antonio Restaurant Injuries
Customers can suffer a variety of accidents and injuries in a Texas restaurant. Examples include:
- Slip and falls: From spills, uneven flooring, broken stairs, ice and snow
- Burns and scalds: From contact with hot food and beverages or malfunctioning equipment
- Food poisoning: From improper food handling and poor sanitation
- Cuts and punctures: From broken glassware or poorly maintained furniture
- Assaults: From unruly customers and altercations with intoxicated patrons
Restaurant injuries are often more severe than they seem initially, leading to significant medical expenses and other hardships.
Legal Aspects And Steps To Take
When dealing with a restaurant injury, understanding the legal aspects is crucial in building a persuasive claim. These elements may apply:
- Premises liability: This concept holds property owners responsible for injuries occurring on their premises due to unsafe conditions.
- Negligence: In the context of restaurant injuries, negligence occurs when the restaurant fails to maintain a safe environment for its patrons.
- Duty of care: Restaurant owners and staff owe a duty of care to their patrons, ensuring the premises are safe and free from hazards.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is generally two years from the date of the injury. Filing your claim within that timeframe may allow you to obtain compensation for medical expenses, lost income and other injury-related financial burdens.
