Some of the Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are very common. Slip and fall accidents are typically associated with a number of hazards, some of which include the following:
- Wet floors
- Spills
- Leaks
- Missing/misplaced warning signs
- Missing/misplaced mats
- Slippery surfaces
- Recently waxed/mopped floors
- Littered floors
Ice cream shops, however, have a unique hazard – ice cream. Ice cream shops are often full of guests ranging in ages. Although anyone can drop or spill some ice cream, children are more likely to be found dropping or spilling their ice cream on the floor. Unfortunately, employees cannot always act fast enough to clean the messes made by children. Anytime that there is ice cream on the floor, guests are essentially at risk of suffering a slip and fall accident.
Ice cream shops sell a lot of ice cream; there are constantly a lot of kids (and guests, in general) in the shops. There is constantly ice cream on the floor. It is not surprising that ice cream shops have a significantly higher rate of injuries when compared to other franchises.

Your Right to Sue – Understanding Premise Liability
Do you have the right to file a lawsuit after a slip and fall incident at a Carvel location? Based on the details surrounding the incident, you might have grounds to pursue a lawsuit – that is, you could pursue a premise liability lawsuit. Your right to pursue a claim is based on the concept of premise liability. Based on premise liability, all property owners owe their guests a duty of care. More specifically, property owners have a duty to ensure that their premises are free of any dangerous conditions and essentially safe for guests to enter. In general, they must routinely insect their premises to be able to identify and address any hazards present. However, property owners can breach their duty of care; they can fail to identify or address the dangerous conditions present within their premises. A breached duty of care (that is, the presence of hazards throughout a premises) could contribute to incidents which could harm guests. When this occurs, the property owner could be liable for all the harm resulting from the incident.
If the property owner could be liable, then victims and their families could be eligible to pursue claims. In other words, you could sue for the slip and fall accident that you or a member of your family suffered at a Carvel ice cream shop. Are you interested in learning more about your right to sue after suffering a slip and fall accident? If so, you should seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately.
Could You Be Compensated?
Did you or a member of your family suffer a slip and fall accident at a Carvel location? As explained above, you might have grounds to sue – you might also have grounds to recover monetary compensation for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered. Are you interested in learning about the potential compensation that you could recover? It is normal to have questions regarding the potential compensation that you could be eligible to receive. Could you really be compensated? How much compensation could you be granted? What type of compensation could you recover? In general, slip and fall victims can be eligible to recover some of the following categories of compensation:
- Medical costs
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral and burial costs
- Punitive damages
- Legal expenses

If you or a member of your family suffered harm in a Carvel slip and fall accident, you could sue; however, there are a number of things that you should do to prepare to take legal action against the property owner. Consider some of the recommended steps listed below:
- Seek medical care immediately
- Take photos of your physical injuries
- Take photos of the scene of the accident (you must do this quickly as property owners are quick to address hazards after incidents)
- File a written incident report (request a copy of the report)
- Take note of the names of the employees present at the time of the incident
- Gather any surveillance footage that captured the incident (if you cannot gather footage, take note of the exact date and time of the incident for later reference)

File Your Claim Quickly
As explained above, you could be eligible to pursue a claim for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a slip and fall accident. However, you could lose the right to sue if you fail to act quickly – as all claims are time-sensitive. Claims are subject to a statute of limitations which determines the total length of time that claimants have to sue; if claimants do not file on time, they risk losing their right to sue. How long do you have to file your claim against Carvel? In California, slip and fall claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations. Therefore, claimants only have two years to pursue their claims. Although this is a strict deadline, it is possible for exceptions to the statute of limitations to apply (exceptions are based on the details surrounding the claim). If you are interested in learning more about the total length of time that you have to pursue your claim, contact us today.
