Proving Negligence
How does someone slip and fall at Roy Rogers? There are several ways that someone can slip and fall, including:
- Wet floors
- Poor lighting
- Uneven flooring
- Torn carpets
In order to have a claim against Roy Rogers, you need to prove that the restaurant was negligent and that led to your accident. Just because you had an accident, doesn’t mean that the restaurant is responsible for the damages. The staff must have been aware of the hazards. If they weren’t aware of it or they were given a reasonable time to remedy the situation. For instance, if a spill just happened and you slipped, then there wasn’t a reasonable expectation that they would have been able to clean it up. However, if part of the carpet was torn up for months and the staff knew about the problem and ignored it, then they would be liable for damages.
What to Do After Your Slip and Fall Accident
The first thing that you should do after your accident is to attract the attention of an employee or someone else. You should also get the name and contact information from any potential witness, as this can help your claim against Roy Rogers. Be sure to talk to the manager so that they know the accident happened. This allows them to create an incident report to record what happened, which is also important for your injury claim against the company.
Never refuse to receive medical attention, as this can reflect poorly on you. This will show them that you weren’t as injured as you say, which will hurt your case. You should also be sure to never apologize or use words like “I’m so clumsy” as these are things that can also hurt your case. If the manager hears those words, they will likely take note of them in the incident report.
Collect as much evidence as you can. Take pictures of your injuries and where you had your accident, get a copy of the incident report, and get a copy of your medical records. The more evidence that you can compile for your injury claim, the better chances you will have for success in your case.
