Handling Your McDonald’s Slip and Fall Accident Properly

• Take pictures of the place where you fell and your injuries
• Speak with any witnesses who saw you fall
• Report your accident to an employee so they can file an incident report to document the fall

• Contact us

All these steps are important. They can help your lawyer secure the damages you need to cover your medical expenses and other losses following a fall accident.

Costs Related to a Slip and Fall Accident

Remember that your health and safety are essential. Get the medical treatment you need after a fall and follow up with your doctor as appropriate. But often, proper medical care can be extensive and costly. 

Your medical costs will depend on the seriousness of your injuries. You may need to go to the emergency room, so doctors can evaluate your injuries and give you prompt treatment. So, you may have bills from your emergency room visit, but you may also have additional medical costs. You may need to pay for corrective surgeries or follow-up physical therapy.

Hazards That Cause McDonald’s Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents may occur in a McDonald’s for several common reasons. You may be more likely to slip and fall in some locations, such as:

• The dining areas where food or drinks may be spilled
• The entry and exit of the store during poor weather
• The sidewalks or the parking lots
• The bathrooms after the floors are mopped

Employees may increase the odds that you will slip and fall if they do not promptly clean up any spill in the store. Additionally, store owners are legally required to place warning signs if they know a hazard exists in their McDonald’s. If they fail to take this step, you may be more likely to fall and injure yourself, and they may be responsible for your injuries.

Injuries Associated with Fall Accidents at McDonald’s

Slipping and falling while in a McDonald’s may lead to several very serious injuries, including:

• Injuries to the head and traumatic brain injuries
• Injuries to the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine
• Fractures and broken bones
• Sprains and lacerations

You may be able to get compensation for your medical expenses after a McDonald’s slip and fall accident. Ensure that you get medical care quickly for your injuries and that you reach out to our team that can help you file a premises liability claim in Florida.

Options for Getting Compensation for Your Losses in Florida

To get compensation after a McDonald’s slip and fall accident, your lawyer will need to show that:

• A hazard existed in the McDonald’s store
• The property owners had actual or constructive knowledge about the hazard
• Despite this knowledge, they did not remove the hazard or warn visitors about the hazard
• The hazard caused you to slip and fall
• You were injured when you slipped and fell
• You have damages because of your injuries

Jason and Debi Chalik can work to establish these facts by investigating your case. We can review the evidence surrounding your fall to build a premises liability claim for you. Once we file your claim, we can negotiate with insurance representatives for McDonald’s to bring you a fair settlement.

We may also be able to take your claim to court if McDonald’s representatives attempt to deny you fair compensation. We’ll stand with you every step of the way, so contact us now.
