Slip and Fall Risks at Olive Garden

You could be exposed to many slip and fall hazards while dining at an Olive Garden. Risks can include:

• Uneven or cracked flooring
• Crumpled or folded rugs
• Wet areas caused by spills or leaks
• Debris left on the floor

There are some areas where a slip and fall accident is more likely to occur in an Olive Garden. Areas close to the kitchen, the bathrooms, the bar, and the entry and exit to the restaurant may all prove especially hazardous. However, a slip and fall accident can happen anywhere in an Olive Garden.

Injuries Caused by Olive Garden Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents may only result in minor injuries like bruises or abrasions in the best-case scenarios. Unfortunately, these accidents are often far more severe. Depending upon your situation, a fall accident could leave you with:

• Broken bones, especially in your arms or legs
• Head or brain injuries, like a concussion
• Injuries to your spine, neck, or back
• Lacerations
• Strains and sprains

All these injuries require fast medical treatment. In addition to emergency medical care, you may also have a long road to recovery. For example, you may require more than one corrective surgery, or you may need to have occupational or physical therapy. Sometimes, falls can result in permanent disability, even with prompt medical treatment. 

Make sure that you seek help from a healthcare professional if you are hurt after you slip and fall in an Olive Garden. This can help your slip and fall lawyer prove that your injuries were caused by your accident.

Other Steps to Take After You Fall at Olive Garden

In addition to seeking medical treatment for your injuries after you slip and fall in an Olive Garden, you should:

• Tell an employee that you fell so they can document your accident with an incident report
• Speak with any witnesses who saw you slip and fall
• Take pictures of your injuries and the place where you fell
• Contact our firm for help

It is important that you speak with our Florida Olive Garden slip and fall accident and injury lawyer quickly after your accident. In fact, you may increase your odds of getting full compensation by speaking with us before you discuss your accident:

• With insurance agents
• With representatives of Olive Garden
• On social media

Our lawyer can advise you about how to best handle your case and how you can work towards a fair compensation amount. 

Getting Compensation for Slip and Fall Accidents in Florida

Jason and Debi Chalik can help you secure compensation after a slip and fall accident by helping you file a premises liability claim. This claim can allow you to get the damages you need to cover your:

• Medical expenses
• Time off work
• Reduced earning potential
• Pain and suffering and mental anguish

In many cases, you can get the compensation you need through a settlement with the insurance company working for Olive Garden. However, sometimes your lawyer will need to take your claim to court here in Florida to ensure you get fair damages for all the losses you suffered in your slip and fall accident.

We cannot give you an exact amount you may be able to recover in compensation. It depends on what happened in your specific circumstances. But once we have been able to review your case, we may be able to offer you an estimate of how much you can receive in compensation.
