For a successful slip and fall claim against Chipotle, you will need to prove the following had occurred:
Your foot got caught in a hole in the carpet near the entryway. You fell forward, landing hard on your right shoulder. The injury requires surgery. What do you do now? The steps you make next are essential to protecting your slip and fall accident claim:
You need to get the accident on record, so your first step is to speak with the manager and notify them of the accident. Make sure you file an incident report with the restaurant. Make sure you put down as much detail as possible such as what you were doing at the time of the accident, how you fell, and what injuries you sustained. The more information you provide, the harder it will be for the insurance company to dispute it.
It can be challenging to get evidence after the accident, especially at a busy restaurant. So try to get as much proof as possible before going to the hospital. Get photos of the scene and the cause of the accident. Make sure to capture anything that contributed to the accident, such as spilled food or a wet floor. Make a note of any surveillance cameras that could have captured the accident. If there were any witnesses, get their contact information to follow up about what they saw.
Even if you don’t think the injury was severe, you should always seek medical attention to learn about the extent of your injuries. At first, what may seem like a simple bump on the head could easily be a concussion. Even if you don’t want to go to the ER right away, make an appointment with your primary care doctor to get your head injury checked out.
Finally, contact a premises liability attorney if you’re having trouble getting compensation from Chipotle for your injuries. A slip and fall injury lawyer can negotiate with the insurance company and make sure you get the maximum amount of compensation for your claim.
