Paris Baguette Bakery Accident Injury Lawyer

In spite of its reference to the City of Lights, Paris Baguette was founded in South Korea, where it quickly took over as the country’s most popular bakery. The company expanded into other countries, especially in areas like Los Angeles, which has a high concentration of Korean American neighborhoods. The bakery is known for its innovative recipes, along with its signature croissants and European-style pastries.

When you walk into a Paris Baguette location, you expect the premises to be free of dangerous conditions that can cause you to be injured. But serious accidents are common at these locations, whether you are a customer or a Paris Baguette employee. As the victim of an injury that was caused by someone else, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit and seek monetary compensation for the harm you’ve suffered. If you or someone you know had an accident, such as a slip and fall or hot coffee burn incident, contact us right away to speak with a Paris Baguette accident injury attorney.

Injuries from an Accident at a Bakery

While a store may appear neat and orderly from the outside, the potential for serious injury is very high at businesses like bakeries and coffee shops. Hazards like debris in the aisles, leaking appliances, and poor lighting can lead to serious injuries, such as:

• Deep cuts / puncture wounds
• Traumatic brain injury
• Broken bones
• Sprains in the wrists and ankles
• Tearing of the ligaments and tendons
• Knee or shoulder dislocation
• Hip fracture
• Permanent scars / disfigurement
• Nerve damage
• Injuries to the internal organs
• Spinal cord damage
• Whiplash
• Chronic pain
• Psychological issues, such as post-traumatic stress, depression, and insomnia

The Right to Sue Paris Baguette for Your Injuries

In order to meet the legal standard for a lawsuit against Paris Baguette, you will need to prove that the store failed in its duty of care to protect you from an accident while you were on their property. Essentially, you are trying to prove negligence by the business owners, as defined by California’s law of premises liability. A Paris Baguette slip and fall accident, for example, may have been caused by a spilled drink that was on the ground right in front of the main entry door. As the store is responsible for maintaining this area, they are liable if this hazard causes someone to fall.

This, however, is a simplistic example of store liability for an accident. Some cases, like assault and battery incidents, are much more complicated. Of course, the person that attacked you is responsible for your harm and suffering. But what if the store failed to take certain actions that could have prevented you from being attacked (lack of security measures, for example)? Such cases require extensive evidence and knowledge of the laws that exist to protect injury victims. Our law firm has the skill and experience you need to succeed in a lawsuit if you’ve sustained injuries from one of the following accidents at Paris Baguette:

• Slip and fall

• Trip and fall
• Burn injury accidents
• Parking lot accidents
• Struck by falling objects
• Assault and battery, including sexual assault

How to File a Claim if You were Injured at Paris Baguette

Whether you’ve had a trip and fall or been assaulted on the premises of a Paris Baguette, it’s essential to take the right steps after an accident. Here is a list of the actions we recommend:

• Ask for someone in charge, like a manager, and report your accident right away so that an accident report is filed. This is the first crucial piece of evidence in any premises liability claim.
• Take pictures of your injuries and the area where the accident occurred, particularly the hazard that’s responsible for your accident. You can also look around for any security cameras, as they may contain valuable footage of the incident.
• If anyone saw what happened to you, ask for their contact information. Witness statements are another valuable source of evidence.
• See a doctor right away for medical treatment; otherwise, the business may insist that your injuries did not occur on their premises.
• Contact an experienced personal injury lawyer, who can provide you with strong and aggressive representation right from the start.

Compensation for Injury Victims

We know that you have many questions on your mind right now, including the total amount you can recover from a lawsuit against Paris Baguette, which we will cover in the next section. But let’s take a moment to review the losses you can recover, which are categorized as economic and non-economic damages. Based on the degree of injury and their effect on your life, you may be entitled to:

• Reimbursement for medical expenses

What if I was Injured at Work?

With the countless tasks that go on behind the scenes at a bakery, injuries to workers are exceptionally common at Paris Baguette locations. Deep cuts, burn injuries, ligament tears, and broken bones are just some of the injuries you may end up with during the course of your work duties. Regardless of what caused your accident, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits as someone that had a workplace accident.

While you cannot file a lawsuit against your employer, you are allowed to sue third parties that failed in their duty of care to you. As an example, product manufacturers are liable for any accidents that are caused by an issue that occurred during the manufacturing process. Thus, if you were injured by a faulty appliance, we would investigate the possibility of a design flaw or mechanical defect that existed before the appliance left the manufacturer’s possession. If you are eligible for a third party lawsuit, you can still receive worker’s comp benefits, so make sure to report the incident to your employer right away if you’ve sustained a workplace injury. Then, contact our office to discuss your legal options with an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer.

Potential Case Value of a Lawsuit against Paris Baguette

Now, we approach the topic that comes up right away in many of our consultations: the average value of an accident case if you’ve been injured at a store. Frankly, this is a rather tricky question, as we can provide a range of values based on past settlements and verdicts at our law firm. Payments for trip and fall lawsuits, for example, can fall between $300,000 and $2.5 million. Incidents in the parking lot, including pedestrian accidents, may be worth around $500,000 to over $1.5 million. But what does this mean in terms of your own injuries and what they take away from your life? That’s the question we have to ask, which has different answers for each and every victim. If you’re interested in finding out the potential value of your lawsuit against Paris Baguette, please consider a free consultation with one of our attorneys.

How Long will it Take to Settle my Case?

Just like case values, the amount of time to reach a settlement in these lawsuits varies significantly from one case to another. While some people successfully resolve their claim in just a few weeks, others have to wait two years or longer until they receive justice. On the one hand, it’s fair to say that claimants with serious injuries will have a longer wait time than those with minor injuries. But there’s no absolute rule that can be applied to these lawsuits as a whole. No matter what, we will take immediate action on your case with the intent of bringing you compensation within 6 months. But negotiating a fair payment amount can take 12 to 18 months based on the defendant’s response time and willingness to negotiate in good faith. If it becomes necessary to rely on a jury verdict, winning your case can take over two years from start to finish.

Filing Deadline in California for an Accident Injury Claim

The statute of limitations refers to the amount of time you have to take legal action against a negligent party. If you are suing a private business, like Paris Baguette, you must file a lawsuit no later than two years from the date of your accident. It’s extremely difficult to obtain an exception from the courts if you exceed the statute of limitations. That means you can lose the right to monetary compensation, even if you have clear and irrefutable evidence of the company’s wrongdoing. To protect your interests and receive the funds you are entitled to, contact us immediately to speak with a lawyer experienced in store accident injury cases.
