No one ever expects to be injured when they’re simply out to enjoy a sweet treat with their family at the local Dairy Queen. But accidents, of course, will happen when you least expect them, and you should be prepared for the possibility that something could happen to you. A just-mopped wet bloor, a dropped scoop of ice cream, or stray trash could lead to bad slip-and-fall injuries.
The best way to be prepared is to try to avoid an accident in the first place. Keep your eye out for potential hazards and notify an employee when you see something that could lead to injury. However, you won’t always be able to avoid accidental injury, so you should know what your rights are in that situation.
Your local Dairy Queen may seem like a safe family place where you’d get the help you needed should you be injured. But Dairy Queen Incorporated is a big-name business that deals with these sorts of incidents all the time. They and their insurance companies have lawyers experienced in defending against personal injury claims who will do anything possible to get Dairy Queen off the hook for any liability regarding your accident.
This means that if you slip and fall on the premises, their lawyers will try to prove that the store was not negligent because there was no way it could have prevented your accident or that nothing the store employees did or failed to do caused your accident—rather, you did. To combat this, you need to have a personal injury lawyer on your side. They can help you get the compensation you deserve after a traumatizing accident that wasn’t your fault.
In Dairy Queen and other places where food is served, you can be subjected to suffering because of hazardous conditions. Additionally, many of these restaurants are old and have fallen into disrepair over time, which can render them rife with potential dangers. Customers can face things like tripping on uneven surfaces or slipping on dampness or trash.
Accidents like these may cause only minor injuries, but they can also cause terrible injuries that can linger long past the day of the incident. Costly medical bills, lost work time (and thus income), prolonged pain, and even damage to property if you fell while holding your phone or your watch hit the floor are all quite possible. These things can add up, and if the business’s management or employees were negligent you may be owed significant compensation, depending on the severity of your injuries.
Having a qualified personal injury lawyer on your side can make the process less distressing while you’re already in pain. They will advocate for you and your needs and they won’t be bullied by the company’s legal team. They will be able to determine if your case is worth pursuing, file a claim for you if it is, and calculate how much compensation you can reasonably request and negotiate for based on the severity of your injuries.
