Are Restaurants Liable for Slip-And-Falls Accidents?

When going out to eat, many individuals expect quality food, trained staff, and a well-maintained establishment. If a restaurant owner fails to keep their property safe for diners and staff, they may be held liable if someone slips and falls on a slick floor or broken stairs. Slip-and-fall accidents can cause severe injuries to victims and may require long-term medical attention. 

Fortunately, slip-and-fall accident victims do not need to fight for their rights alone. At the Law Office of Cohen & Jaffe, LLP our attorneys can help you hold the negligent restaurant accountable for the losses you have suffered. When you choose us, one of our skilled premises liability attorneys will conduct a full investigation into your case to uncover the facts and help you recover the maximum amount of compensation possible for your claim. 

Proving Negligence in a Restaurant Slip-And-Fall Case

In order to successfully prove that the restaurant is liable for your losses, your case must meet specific requirements. The following are essential elements of New York slip-and-fall cases. 

  • The restaurant owed you a duty of care: Restaurant owners are required to keep their premises safe for diners, employees, and others who lawfully enter the premises. 
  • The duty of care was breached: An ignored spill or uneven floor puts everyone’s safety at risk. If the restaurant fails to take reasonable steps to prevent injuries on the premises, they may be held liable for your injuries.
  • The breach of duty resulted in harm: The final element of a slip-and-fall case is proving that the restaurant’s negligence caused your injuries. If the breach of duty of care resulted in significant damages, the victim might have grounds for a personal injury claim. 

A skilled premises liability attorney can help you gather evidence to support your claim against a negligent restaurant. Your attorney will review the facts of the case to determine liability, the number of damages you are owed, and your best course of action moving forward.
