North Port Restaurant and Bar Accidents

Whether you are taking the family out for pizza or out on a date night, restaurants remain popular for those wishing to spend time with family and friends. Like many cities, North Port has a wide selection of restaurants and bars with menus that serve dishes for those who enjoy American, Chinese, Mexican, and just about any other cuisine.

Dining out at a restaurant or bar is a great way to unwind after spending a long day at work. Dining out is a popular way to celebrate a milestone in someone's life without the stress of cooking or cleaning. But nothing can ruin a night out more than getting hurt at a restaurant or bar. Slippery floors, tight aisles, poor cooking practices, and steaming hot plates may result in an accident where someone could get hurt.

Speaking with a North Port accident lawyer is a good idea when you have been badly injured while visiting a restaurant or bar. Accident victims should understand what rights they have when they have been hurt and what compensation they may need to pay their expenses. If you were injured in a restaurant or bar, you could speak to a personal injury lawyer at the Wolfson Law Firm today for free when you call (239) 471-0714.

People often try to settle their accident cases on their own because they think they can't afford to get legal help. Or the insurance company for the restaurant or bar may offer a fast settlement to close your claim. While it may seem wise to settle quickly, accident victims cannot recover everything they have because they do not know their rights. Other times, accident victims may find that they didn't receive enough compensation for their injuries because the damage was worse than initially thought.

While it may seem obvious that you were hurt in an accident that wasn't your fault, a personal injury lawyer considers many factors when analyzing and building your case. Where you were injured, the extent of the damage, and the future impact it may have on your life are all critical issues that a personal injury lawyer considers as they represent your interests. More than one party could be responsible for the accident, or your injuries could be so extensive that you need care for the rest of your life.

People can get hurt in restaurants and bars in many ways, including;

• Slip and fall: Spilled drinks, leaking soda or ice machines, or dropped food can make floors slippery if not cleaned up promptly.
• Trip and fall: Owners may place tables and chairs remarkably close together due to limited space inside the restaurant or bar. People can trip over chair legs that are too close together or stick out in the aisle. In addition, broken stairs, handrails, or poorly-maintained walkways may cause people to trip and fall.
• Burns: Hot coffee or water spilled on a patron may result in severe and painful burns.
• Improper food preparation: People may become sick if food is undercooked or stored at incorrect temperatures. Other factors, such as poor handling or bad hygiene, may also contribute to injury.
