Jack in the Box Slip and Fall Attorneys

Jack in the Box is among the most popular fast-food restaurants. The fast-food restaurant chain was founded in 1951 in San Diego, California – where it still remains headquartered. About twenty years later, Jack in the Box has over 2,200 locations. Most of these locations are on the West Coast (with some exceptions in large urban areas around the country).

These fast-food restaurants are constantly having guests in and out of their premises, whether it’s going inside to order, dine-in, or pick up food, or going through the drive-thru. Like all other fast-food restaurants, it is very likely for guests to experience personal injury accidents (like slip and falls, trip and falls, burn injuries, parking lot accidents, falling object injuries, etc.). The risk of personal injury accidents increases significantly when employees, management, and property owners fail to identify and address hazards.

Were you or a member of your family injured in a slip and fall accident at a Jack in the Box? Were you or a family member injured in any other personal injury accident on the premises of a Jack in the Box? If so, you might have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit against the property owner.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and Fall accidents can happen anywhere – and practically at any time where there is a slip hazard. Some common causes of slip and fall accidents include the following:

• Wet floors
• Spilled drinks
• Recently mopped or waxed floors
• Missing or misplaced warning signs
• Missing or misplaced weather mats
• Littered floors (with food wrappers, napkins, food bits etc.)
• Leaks (air conditioner leaks, soda machine leaks, sink/toilet leaks in restrooms)

All of these can quickly lead to a slip and fall accident.

Other Possible Accidents

In addition to slip and fall accidents, unsuspecting parties can experience other types of incidents on the premises. Some of these other accidents, and the common causes of these accidents, are listed below:

• Trip and fall accidents – caused by trip hazards, like broken concrete, broken tile, uneven flooring, torn carpeting, misplaced mats, potholes, blocked walkways, etc.
• Burn accidents – caused by food/drinks that are too hot usually as a result of machines that are on the wrong temperature setting or using cups that are not designed to handle heat, for instance.
• Parking lot accidents – caused by unsafe conditions in the parking area, including spills, littered floors, broken concrete, poor lighting, blind spots, exposed rebar, no posted speed limit, no parking enforcement, no speed bumps, etc.
• Falling object accidents – caused by the poor installation, lack of maintenance, or overloading of anything that is hung up on walls or on the ceiling which could include framed postures, overhead menu displays, ceiling fans, light fixtures, shelves, etc.

Regardless of the specific type of accident that you experience on the premises of a Jack in the Box, it is possible that the accident leads to a number of injuries.

Your Right to Sue

Can I file a lawsuit? Yes – you could file a lawsuit against Jack in the Box. Your right to sue Jack in the Box after a personal injury accident is based on the concept of premise liability. Based on premise liability, all property owners have a duty to keep their premises free of hazards that could lead to incidents and injuries. Because of this duty of care, property owners must routinely inspect their premises to be able to identify and address any hazards that can lead to accidents. If property owners fail to do this, they can directly contribute to accidents and can be liable for any resulting harm.

The Statute of Limitations

All personal injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations – or a deadline to sue. Unfortunately, if you do not file your personal injury claim within the time allowed, you could lose your right to sue. In the state of California, for example, claimants are subject to a two-year statute of limitations to file personal injury claims. This deadline varies from state to state (and, in general, can range from one year to six years). In some cases, some exceptions to the statute of limitations can apply based on the details of the claim, like the age of the victim, the mental capacity of the victim, etc. For more information about the statute of limitations that applies to your claim, contact us today.
