Why Do Slip and Fall Accidents Occur?

Slip and fall accidents occur as a result of slip hazards that could be present throughout properties. Some examples of slip hazards include some of the following: wet floors, slippery surfaces, recently waxed/mopped floors, spills, leaks, missing weather mats, and a lack of warning signs, for instance. All of these hazards could potentially cause guests to slip and fall. Although these hazards can be present anywhere, including ice cream parlors, the slip hazards typically found in ice cream parlors typically involve ice cream.

Because of the constant presence of families and children of all ages in Cold Stone Creamery, it is likely that ice cream can fall or be dropped. These businesses are often busy, meaning that employees cannot always clean up the mess promptly. Therefore, any ice cream that has fallen on the floor can represent a significant risk to anyone who enters the parlor.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Most people disregard the severity of slip and fall accidents – because it is common for affected parties to be able to get up and walk away uninjured. However, not all victims of slip and fall accidents are lucky enough to be unharmed after a slip and fall accident.

Slip and fall accidents are often associated with some of the following injuries:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Head injuries
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Fractures
• Sprain and strains
• Knee injuries
• Shoulder injuries
• Hip injuries
• Pelvic injuries
• Scrapes and bruises
• Lacerations

Some slip and fall incidents (based on the combination of injuries suffered) could be fatal. Some incidents could result in permanent damage, while others could result in full recoveries. Regardless of the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a slip and fall accident at a Cold Stone Creamery anywhere in California, you should seek legal assistance – you might have grounds to sue.

Your Right to Sue

Can you sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered due to a slip and fall accident at a Cold Stone Creamery? Depending on the details surrounding the incident, you might have grounds to sue. That is, you might have the right to sue based on the concept of premise liability. What is premise liability, and how does it determine your right to sue? Based on premise liability, all property owners owe their guests a duty of care – specifically a duty to ensure that their premises are completely safe for their guests. Property owners must inspect their premises routinely to be able to identify and address any hazards or dangerous conditions present.

However, property owners do not always exercise the duty of care owed to their guests. They can breach their duty of care and put their guests at risk of suffering harm. A breached duty of care can directly contribute to an incident (such as a slip and fall incident) which can result in injuries. If an innocent guest suffers injuries associated with a breached duty of care, the property owner could be liable. In other words, the property owner could be sued by affected victims.

If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue for a slip and fall accident that occurred on the premises of a Cold Stone, you should seek legal assistance immediately. You might even be eligible to recover monetary compensation for the harm resulting from the incident.

Are You Entitled to Compensation?

Based on the details surrounding the incident and the harm that you or a member of your family suffered, you could be eligible to recover compensation. How much compensation could you be eligible to receive? Although every claim is different, you could be eligible to recover monetary compensation for some of the following:

• Medical bills
• Lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial costs
• Punitive damages
• Legal expenses

The type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive depends strictly on the details surrounding your claim; therefore, you should seek legal assistance with an experienced lawyer immediately to learn more about the potential value of your claim and what you could be eligible to receive. Our lawyers are ready to aggressively fight for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your claim.

What Should You Do?

If you or a member of your family suffered harm associated with a slip and fall accident, there are a number of things that you could do to prepare to pursue a claim against Cold Stone Creamery. Consider some of the recommendations listed below:

• Seek medical attention as soon as possible
• Take photos of all injuries resulting from the incident
• Take photos of the hazard that contributed to the incident
• Take photos of the whole scene of the incident
• File an incident report with the management (request a copy of your report)
• Take note of the names of the employees present at the time of the incident
• Request video footage of the incident
• Speak to witnesses and collect their contact information
• Collect all relevant medical records
• Collect all records of lost earnings as well as property damage
• Seek legal assistance with an experienced slip and fall lawyer as soon as possible

In addition to following the steps listed above, you must ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to pursue your claim. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants fail to file their claims within the appropriate length of time, they could lose their right to sue entirely. In California, slip and fall accident claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations (meaning that claimants only have two years to file their claims. However, certain exceptions to the statute of limitations could apply which could toll or pause the applicable statute of limitations. Therefore, you should seek legal assistance immediately to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to file your claim.
