Ruby Tuesday Accident Injury Lawyer

Ruby Tuesday is a multinational chain of casual dining restaurants with locations in 13 countries, including the United States. The company was founded in 1972 by Sandy Beall, who named the first Ruby Tuesday after the song by Rolling Stones. Over the years, the company went through several major changes to update its image, but to this day, they are mainly known as a “bar and grill” type of eatery that specializes in burgers, steaks, and a wide selection of beers and wine.

The bright and casual atmosphere of a Ruby Tuesday should guarantee a fun night out with friends or family. However, a dining experience also needs to be safe, and that’s where restaurants sometimes fail in their duty of care to the customers. Acts of negligence by restaurant owners and staff can lead to all sorts of accidents, including:

• Fall-related accidents: slip and fall / trip and fall
• Falling objects
• Burn accidents from hot drinks, food, plates, etc.
• Injuries in restaurant bathrooms
• Accidents from broken chairs
• Parking lot accidents
• Assault and battery
• Sexual assault

Have you been injured at a Ruby Tuesday due to an unsafe condition that should have been taken care of by the restaurant? Or, maybe you were harmed by an employee who was engaging in careless or reckless conduct, like not warning you before they placed a hot skillet on the table. No matter the circumstance, it’s important to consult a legal expert that can protect your interests from day one.

Is the Restaurant Responsible for my Accident?

It’s true that a restaurant is not always to blame when there is an accident on their premises. However, the vast majority of injuries that occur at these businesses could have been prevented with basic, reasonable measures. For example, most slip and fall accidents at restaurants are caused by a failure to remove hazards from the floor or put up Wet Floor Signs as a warning to the patrons. These are all reasonable actions that could have been taken by the business to keep people safe. When a restaurant fails to take such measures, this is known as negligence, which is the essential factor you would need to prove in order to succeed in a lawsuit against Ruby Tuesday.

Even if it’s clear to you that your accident was caused by the restaurant’s negligence, a personal injury claim must be supported by extensive evidence and justification based on the state’s premises liability law. This is why the legal process for an injury case is so challenging, and why many victims end up with payments that are insufficient for what they’ve had to endure. Our lawyers have the necessary knowledge and skills to bring you the highest possible settlement, thereby ensuring that Ruby Tuesday is brought to account for the harm they’ve caused you.

The deadline to file a lawsuit for personal injury is generally 2 years, starting from the accident date, though it may be longer depending on your personal circumstances and the cause of your injuries.

Estimated Settlement Value of a Lawsuit against Ruby Tuesday

Frankly, there’s no way to come up with an average payment amount for these cases, due to the many factors that are individual to each and every claimant. Of these factors, the level of injury is the biggest factor, which includes bodily harm as well as emotional trauma. For some accident victims, $25,000 may be a fair compensation amount based on the losses they’ve suffered. Those with severe injuries, on the other hand, may be entitled to settlements of $500,000 to $1.5 million and above. A good portion of these awards are based on future losses, like lost earning potential and lifetime medical costs, as well as the victim’s pain and suffering. For any questions regarding the value of your accident claim, contact us to schedule a free case review.

How Long will it Take to Settle my Case?

Our clients often have questions about the average length of time to settle a restaurant accident injury case, but the truth is, timelines vary considerably with these claims. There have been situations where clients received payment in just 30 days, but these typically involve minor injuries with minimal complications. The majority of claims take around 6 to 12 months from start to finish, and possibly up to 18 months depending on the defendant’s cooperation. If direct negotiations with Ruby Tuesday’s insurance company are not successful, we can file a lawsuit on your behalf. Filing a lawsuit will add to the overall amount of time it will take to recover your payment. While it’s more than likely that your case will be settled without a trial, one or more years may be needed to achieve a fair amount of damages.
