In-N-Out Premise Liability Incidents – Can You Sue?

In-N-Out was founded in 1948 in Baldwin Park, California by Ether and Harry Snyder. For many years, In-N-Out was known as a fast-food restaurant exclusive to California. However, after many years, the fast-food chain has over 358 locations in California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Colorado.

Without a doubt, the fast food restaurant chain has loyal customers that visit different locations regularly. Additionally, there are a number of people who have never had In-N-Out before who will visit a location at the first chance they get. Although customers have generally been satisfied with the fast food restaurant chain, some customers have had negative experiences within the premises of different In-N-Out locations – specifically related to different incidents on the property.

Examples of Premise Liability Incidents on In-N-Out Property

There are a number of incidents that could occur on the premises of In-N-Out. Consider some of the examples listed below:

• Slip and fall accidents – slip and fall accidents are among the most common types of accidents that occur at locations like fast food restaurants. Slip and fall accidents can happen at any time and be caused by a number of hazards. Some of the hazards that could contribute to slip and fall accidents include wet floors, slippery floors, freshly washed floors, spilled liquids, leaks, and littered floors, for example.
• Security guard sexual assault – security guard sexual assault incidents are, unfortunately, also common. Some locations have on-site security to ensure the safety of everyone on the premises. However, some security guards take advantage of their position and attack customers on the premises. Some hazards that can facilitate these attacks include dark areas, isolated areas, poorly lit areas, and blind spots in surveillance, for example.
• Foreign objects in food – unfortunately, customers can find foreign objects in their food. These foreign objects can be hidden within the food, resulting in unsuspecting customers biting into these objects and sometimes even swallowing them. Carelessness, lack of inspections, and lack of cleanliness around the food prep area can all lead to foreign objects in food.

These are just a few of the many incidents that innocent customers could suffer on the premises of In-N-Out. Regardless of the type of incident that you or a member of your family suffered, the incident might have resulted in significant harm.

Understanding Liability for Incidents – You Could Sue

Who is liable for the harm suffered as a direct result of an incident on the premises of In-N-Out? To answer this question, you must have a thorough understanding of the concept of premise liability. Based on premise liability, property owners have a duty of care towards their guests. They must ensure that their property is free of any dangerous conditions that could directly contribute to incidents. This means that property owners must routinely inspect their premises to be able to identify and address any dangerous conditions that could lead to incidents. When property owners fail to do this, they are breaching their duty of care and putting their customers at risk of suffering incidents and harm. When a breached duty of care directly causes an incident, the property owner could be liable based on the concept of premise liability.

What does this mean? If you or a member of your family suffered harm because of a property owner’s failure to keep their premises safe, the property owner could be at-fault; therefore, you could sue the property owner. If you would like to learn more about your right to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered, contact the experts at our firm today.
