The last thing you would ever expect from a fast-food restaurant is an injury, but the reality is that accidents can happen, and they can cause serious harm. Jimmy John’s is an American sandwich shop with more than 3,000 locations nationwide. They, like all restaurants in Florida, have a duty to keep their patrons safe from harm by ensuring that their practices all meet a certain standard. Jimmy John’s also has the motto “Freaky Fast” for their delivery service. Unfortunately, when safety is compromised for speed, accidents can occur, and this is where The Injury Firm can help.

The most common type of injuries we see at Jimmy John’s are slip and fall accidents.

Tripping and falling may sound like no big deal, but serious damage can occur as a result of a fall. Injuries typical of sandwich restaurants include dislocated shoulders, hips, and ankles; broken wrists or arms; cuts and bruises; or spinal damage. Head injuries can occur if you hit your head hard on the floor or some other object, which can be serious and permanent.

Getting compensated

Unfortunately, it is not always as easy as claiming what you are owed from your injury and being paid. Restaurants will often try to deny their negligent behavior, and attempt to make out that you were the one at fault. That is why it advisable to speak to a great legal team who specializes in personal injuries, and who can help you with your claim.

Whether the Jimmy John’s in question is owned by the company or a franchisee, they still have a duty of care that extends to anyone on their premises. They must ensure that their restaurant is safe, which means that when injuries do occur, the owner is typically liable.
