Einstein Bagel – Noah’s Bagel Accident and Injury Lawyer

Einstein Bagels, officially known as Einstein Bros. Bagels, is a chain of American eateries that’s well-known for their bagels, bagel sandwiches, and hot and cold coffee drinks.

Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Is Einstein Bagels Responsible for my Accident?

This is the question you will need to answer in order to sue the company for an accident on their property. California’s law of premises liability requires owners to take reasonable care, such as cleaning and maintaining their property, for the purpose of keeping others safe. In essence, if you were a legitimate guest or visitor on the premises, the store owed you a duty of care to prevent you from being injured.

Of course, it’s not possible for a store to predict when and how someone will be harmed. However, most accidents at a store, restaurant, etc. are preventable through routine inspections, cleaning, and maintenance. Slip and fall claims, for example, are extremely common at places that serve food and drinks. Cleaning up spills, repairing leaking appliances, using anti-slip mats, and clearing snow and ice from the parking lot are just some of the obligations that businesses have to protect you from a fall-related accident.

Another example of negligence involves insufficient security measures, which criminals and sexual predators can take advantage of. Security cameras, bright lighting, and removing overgrown hedges that someone can hide behind are reasonable measures that can protect customers from sexual assault, muggings, and other forms of violence. If negligence in these areas caused you to be injured at a Noah’s or Einstein Bagels, you may have a case of negligence against the store.

It’s important to note that Einstein Bagel’s insurance company will not make it easy for you to claim the funds you are entitled to. Rejected claims or reduced settlements are very common in these situations when victims attempt to navigate the legal process on their own. The personal injury lawyers of Normandie will protect you from these tactics and ensure that you receive maximum payment for your injuries.

Compensable Injuries from an Accident at Einstein Bros. or Noah’s Bagels

An accident at Einstein Bagels can result in serious injuries with lifelong complications. That’s why you should never assume that you are fine after an accident. It’s likely that you will be approached by an employee, but if not, ask for a manger so that you can file an accident report. Ask for a copy of the report before you leave, then go to a hospital for medical treatment. If you have serious injuries, ask for an ambulance or head to the hospital first, then contact the store to file your report.

Without taking these steps, it will very difficult to succeed in an accident claim against the store and receive compensation for injuries, such as:

• Skull fracture
• Concussion / traumatic brain injury
• Fractures in the hands, wrists, feet, and ankles
• Knee injuries – torn ligaments and tendons, dislocated kneecap
• Neck and back injuries
• Hip fracture
• Permanent nerve damage
• Ruptured or punctured internal organs
• Infections from deep cuts (tetanus, for example)
• Scarring / disfigurement (common with burn injuries)
• Post traumatic stress and other mental health disorders

How Much can I Recover from a Lawsuit? 

Before we can approximate the value of your settlement, we will need to discuss many factors, such as the cause of your accident, the injuries you’ve suffered, how your life had changed due to those injuries, and your level of emotional trauma. This will help us determine the value of your economic and non-economic damages, which will compensate you for the losses you’ve sustained from the accident. Injury claims at our law firm can bring in anywhere from $25,000 to $3.5 million and above. Higher settlements are typically associated with severe injuries, like nerve damage and brain injury, but assault and battery claims, including sexual assault, often settle for around $500,000 to several million dollars. A premises liability lawyer at our office will be happy to help you figure out what your lawsuit is worth, so don’t hesitate to give us a call.

How long is the Case Settlement Process?

Once you have an idea of what your accident claim is worth, you will naturally want to know how long it will take to recover your payment. Unfortunately, there is no set amount of time to negotiate a settlement with these cases. For some claimants, the process takes a few months from start to finish. For others, obtaining the compensation they deserve can take two or more years. Our lawyers will be happy to discuss the process with you in detail during a free case evaluation.

Lawyer Experienced in Workers’ Compensation Claims

Are you an injured Einstein Bros. Bagels employee that needs help with a workers’ compensation claim? Accidents are extremely common among food service workers, and fortunately, there is a system in place to cover medical expenses and lost wages if you’ve sustained a workplace injury. You can also claim workers’ compensation if you were injured at an Einstein Bagels while performing a work-related duty, like making a delivery or repairing an appliance.

Unlike a personal injury case, there is no need to prove negligence to qualify for these benefits. The only thing you have to show is that you were injured at work, or while acting within the scope of your job duties. Please make sure to notify your employer immediately if you’ve been hurt, so that they can direct you to a doctor within their workers’ comp network. This step is essential for establishing proof of your injuries and ensuring that you receive the full range of benefits you are entitled to.

How Much Time do I have to Sue Einstein Bagels?

However, the timeline is much shorter for workplace injury claims, which must be filed within one year from the accident date. In addition, you must report your injuries to your employer within 30 days of your accident. Please don’t delay in filing an accident report with the store and seeking legal advice from an experienced attorney. If you wait too long and exceed the statute of limitations, you will most likely lose the right to sue for damages, even if you have solid evidence of the store’s negligence.
