Common Causes of Restaurant Slip and Falls Numerous factors can contribute to slip and fall accidents in restaurants. Some common causes include:

Wet or slippery floors: Spilled drinks, food debris, or recently cleaned floors without proper warning signs can create hazardous conditions.

Uneven or damaged flooring: Cracked tiles, loose carpeting, or uneven surfaces can pose a significant risk to patrons.

Insufficient lighting: Poorly lit areas can make it difficult for customers to see potential hazards and increase the likelihood of accidents. Defective or improperly maintained staircases: Broken handrails, loose steps, or lack of proper maintenance can lead to falls on staircases.

Negligent snow and ice removal: During winter months, failure to promptly clear snow and ice from walkways can result in dangerous conditions.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Slip and Fall in a Restaurant?

Determining liability in slip and fall cases requires a thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding the accident.

Potentially liable parties may include: Restaurant owners: They have a duty to maintain a safe environment for patrons and can be held responsible if their negligence contributed to the slip and fall accident.

Management companies: If a third-party management company oversees the restaurant’s operations and maintenance, they may share liability for any hazardous conditions.

Contractors or maintenance companies: If the accident resulted from improper repairs or maintenance work, the responsible contractors or maintenance companies may be held liable.

Employees: If an employee’s actions or negligence caused the hazardous condition that led to the accident, the restaurant may be held liable through vicarious liability.

Proving liability requires demonstrating that the responsible party breached their duty of care, leading to your injuries. Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP has the expertise to thoroughly investigate your case, identify liable parties, and build a compelling claim on your behalf.
