A personal injury lawsuit can be filed against the following:

  • Restaurant owner
  • Restaurant’s parent company
  • Restaurant staff
  • A supplier or distributor of food or restaurant equipment
  • Other customers
  • Security staff

Filing a personal injury claim provides you with a way to get compensated, financially, for such things as medical and hospital bills, the costs involved with future medical care, lost wages, loss of consortium, and pain and suffering.

Many of these types of cases fall under the area of personal injury laws known as premises liability. In this type of case, the victim is claiming that a dangerous condition on the property, in this case a restaurant, resulted in his or her injury. The restaurant owner and/or manager should be held responsible because they have a duty to customers to keep their property free of hazards.

If you have been injured in a restaurant and are considering suing the establishment, determining who is liable for your injury can be complicated. You will need to prove that the defendant(s):

  • Owed you a duty of care
  • Breached that duty of care through negligence
  • That his or her negligence was a substantial factor in causing your injury
  • Significant damages resulted due to his or her negligence

Successfully proving personal injury cases rely on the victim being able to provide evidence to support his or her claim. Gathering evidence in order to build your case and then dealing with the complexities of the legal system can be challenging. Contacting an experienced personal injury attorney is vital to the success of your claim.
