Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Possible Accidents at Pink Pantherz Espresso

Coffee shops focus on their product and the service offered by their employees. But what about conditions on the property, especially those that can lead to an accident? Unfortunately, many café owners fail to keep up with safety standards on their property, which can be done through maintenance, timely repairs, and proper training / supervision of employees. As a result of a company’s negligence, those at a Pink Pantherz coffee shop may be injured from:

• Slip and fall – spilled drinks are probably the biggest source of slip and falls at Pink Pantherz. However, these accidents can also be caused by improper cleaning methods, poor lighting, broken handrails, dirty floors, no Wet Floor signs, and many other hazards.
• Trip and fall – these accidents are common inside and outside the store due to a number of conditions, such as broken steps, debris on the floor, loose cord and wires, uneven flooring, cracked sidewalks, and potholes.
• Burn injury – extra precautions must be taken when serving hot drinks like coffee. Making sure the lid is secure and ensuring that there are no defects with the cup can prevent most hot coffee burn injuries.
• Falling objects – there are many objects throughout the premises of a Pink Pantherz Espresso that can fall off and inflict injuries to a guest. These include items on walls and ceiling, as well as store displays and outdoor signs.
• Assault and battery – these incidents may be committed by vagrants and other individuals with criminal intent, or by employees at the store. While the company is not directly responsible, they may be sued if lack of security, improper hiring practices and other negligent acts contributed to a customer being attacked.
• Sexual assault – as well as assault and battery, insufficient security measures and other failures in a store’s duty of care may be responsible for someone being sexually assaulted at a Pink Pantherz café.

Suing Pink Pantherz Espresso for an Accident – What are my Rights?

As you are probably aware, not everyone that’s been in an accident is entitled to compensation from a lawsuit. So, how can you be sure that you have the right to sue Pink Pantherz Espresso?

Premises liability is the legal basis for most lawsuits on commercial properties, like stores, shopping malls and restaurants. This is a legal concept that applies to owners of properties and their duty to the people that are on the premises. If there is a dangerous condition on the property that causes someone to be injured, the victim is entitled to restitution from the owner.

The concept of liability differs somewhat for owners of residential properties versus commercial properties. A business owner, for example, has a heightened degree of responsibility to the people they serve. Thus, they are responsible for the actions of their employees when they cause injury to another party. For example, if a server spills hot coffee on a customer, the victim may have grounds to sue the employer according to the concept of vicarious liability.

It’s perfectly fine if you’re unsure as to how any of this applies to your accident at a Pink Pantherz Expresso location. Our lawyers can sit down with you and go over any questions you have during a free, private consultation.

How Much Can I Get from a Lawsuit?

Case values depend on the total sum of monetary losses you are left with after an accident. These include economic damages, like lost wages and cost of medical treatments. But you can also be compensated for non-economic damages, such as mental anguish and pain and suffering, based on the degree of your injuries. A Pink Pantherz Espresso accident injury attorney at our office can figure out which payments you are entitled to. Then, they will use their expertise to come up with a fair settlement value in each of those categories.

Sometimes, a settlement ranging from $15,000 to $50,000 is an adequate payment amount. However, the majority of our cases are valued at around $150,000 to $2,000,000 and above. Just give us a call to learn how much you should ask for in a lawsuit against Pink Pantherz Espresso.

Is there an Average Timeline to Settle these Cases?

Each personal injury case involves complications that are unique to the victim and their injuries from an accident at a coffee shop. Thus, it’s impossible to come up with a specific timeframe for how long it takes to settle a store accident injury claim. Based on our experience with lawsuits against major retailers, it will probably take 6 months or more to negotiate a favorable settlement with the insurance company. This is the ideal method of settling a case, but the insurance company must be willing to negotiate in good faith. Otherwise, we will need to move on with a lawsuit, which can add one or more years to the process of reaching a settlement.

We can provide you with a detailed explanation on the case resolution process during a free case review, which you can schedule by contacting our law firm.

What is the Deadline to File a Lawsuit against the Store?

Under California law, you generally have two years to seek monetary damages through a civil lawsuit. The statute of limitations begins on the date of your accident, so with each passing day, you are one step closer to the deadline for a Pink Pantherz Espresso injury claim. Contacting us right away is the best way to protect your interests. Our attorneys will take immediate action on your case and fight to bring you the highest possible settlement.
