Common Causes of Slip-and-Fall Accidents in Restaurants
Slip-and-fall accidents in restaurants are often the result of negligence. Common causes include:
- Spilled Food or Drinks: Untended spills on floors can create slippery conditions.
- Wet or Recently Mopped Floors: Failure to place warning signs after cleaning.
- Uneven Surfaces: Cracked tiles, torn carpets, or uneven flooring.
- Cluttered Walkways: Items like chairs, trays, or supplies left in walking paths.
- Poor Lighting: Inadequate lighting making hazards difficult to see.
- Outdoor Hazards: Icy, wet, or uneven sidewalks leading to the restaurant.
If your injury was caused by a restaurant’s negligence, you may have a valid claim for compensation.
