Outdoor Restaurant Tent Fall Incident Lawyer in San Diego

As outdoor dining becomes the new norm in San Diego and surrounding areas, the occurrences of tent and canopy collapse incidents has increased significantly. After many months of being unable to welcome guests to dine-in at their restaurants, many restaurant owners rushed to get outdoor dining set up – often resorting to temporary set ups that are not always safe. Soon after being allowed to open for outdoor dining, restaurants were forced to close again; this resulted in outdoor set ups being left outside forgotten for months. During this time, some incidents occurs, but even after reopening again, the incidents continue.

Your Right to Sue

Do you have the right to sue after being injured after an outdoor restaurant tent fall anywhere in San Diego? Based on the details surrounding your claim, you could have grounds to sue the restaurant owner and fight for your right to recover monetary compensation. Could you really sue? Your right to sue after a restaurant canopy collapse incident is based on premise liability.

Based on the concept of premise liability, property owners – including restaurant owners – have a duty to ensure that all their premises (including everything indoor and outdoor) are free of hazards or any dangerous conditions that could harm guests. If property owners breach their duty of care (e.g., by failing to properly secure the tent in high winds or failing to inspect it after rain, etc.), they are putting innocent guests at risk of suffering harm. When a breached duty of care directly leads to an incident that harms guests, the property owner (i.e., the restaurant owner) could be liable.
