What Are The Main Causes Of Slips, Trips, And Falls In Burger King
When it comes to making Burger King claims, including an accident at work claim, slips, trips and falls are the most common reason for making a claim. The most common way these accidents happen are:
- Slipping on a wet floor – that should have been either fried or signposted as a hazard.
- Tripping on damaged floorings – such as torn carpets or broken curbstones.
- Falling down stairways – for many reasons, including faulty handrails and inadequate lighting.
These accidents can happen both in the store and outside in the car park. As long as you make sure that the incident has been entered into the Burger King accident book, you should be able to claim compensation if the franchise operator was at fault. This also goes for accidents at work compensation will be claimable if your employer was at fault. For example, if you need to make a back injury at work claim, due to slipping on a wet floor that was not managed properly within the Health & Safety regulations applicable to hospitality companies.
Who Is Liable If I Slipped On Water In Burger King?
If you have slipped and fallen in a fast food restaurant, then generally, if the restaurant operator can be proven to have been responsible, then they will be liable to pay damages. For example, if you slipped in the toilet in Burger King due to a floor being wet, then Health & Safety regulations say that all floor hazards must be clearly marked. If it wasn’t, then this is a reason for making accident in Burger King claims against the franchise operate who would be liable. When the restaurant operator is proven to be liable, burger king slip and fall settlements can be negotiated as long as a burger king incident report has been properly filed.
