Raising Cane’s Restaurant Accident Injury Lawyer

Founded in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers is a chain of fast food restaurants that was named after the founder’s dog, a yellow Labrador retriever. The company is known for its “out of the box” thinking, including sending their corporate employees to work in restaurant kitchens when there was a shortage of workers in 2021. According to one of the CEO’s, all corporate employees are trained for register and kitchen duty as a part of their job requirements, which is why they can fill in for these positions as needed.

The elements of teamwork and pitching in are admirable values, but so is the commitment to keeping up with safety and maintenance standards. Regular cleaning, timely repairs, and adequate security are just some of the ways to minimize injuries at a restaurant for customers and employees. Sadly, it’s very common for a business to fail in these areas, and as a result, people can be injured from:

• Trip and falls
• Slip and falls
• Burn injuries
• Falling objects
• Broken chair or table accidents
• Assault and battery
• Sexual assault
• Accidents in the parking lot

If you sustained injuries from a dangerous condition at a Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers restaurant, you may be entitled to compensation from a personal injury lawsuit. Alternatively, if you are a Raising Cane’s employee that was injured at work, you have the right to seek payment from a workers’ compensation claim.

What are my Rights if I was Injured at a Raising Cane’s Restaurant Location?

Under Californian law, owners of both residential and commercial properties have certain obligations when it comes to the people on their premises. These include guests that are on the property for a social reason, as well as customers who are there for business purposes. Either way, these people are owed a duty of care by the property owner, which may be an individual or an entity (a corporation, for example).

The key is to figure out if the restaurant failed in their duty of care to you as someone with a legitimate reason to be on the preemies. For example, did the restaurant fail to clean up a spill on the floor, which caused you to fall down while you were waiting for your food? Did a vagrant take advantage of poor lighting in the parking lot (lack of security) to physically or sexually assault you?

These are examples of negligence by a business owner and their employees. As someone who was injured by an act of negligence, you have the right to file an accident claim and seek compensation for the harm you suffered. But liability is a complex issue, and your own case may have complications that will take extensive investigation and evidence to resolve. We are more than ready for the challenge of building a strong case and securing the settlement you deserve. Contact Normandie Law Firm to discuss your rights and legal options with a Raising Cane’s restaurant accident injury lawyer.

Lawyers with Experience in Workplace Injury Claims

It’s not just customers that are at risk of getting hurt at Raising Cane’s. Fast food workers are actually more susceptible to injuries than the people they serve due to the conditions they work under for many hours a day. Sputtering oil, substances on the floor, and faulty appliances are just some of the hazards that can lead to a workplace accident. Employees can also end up with repetitive motion injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome, from doing the same task on a frequent basis.

Those who have been injured during the course of their job duties do not have to establish that someone else is responsible for their accident. Instead, they can apply for benefits, such as coverage for lost wages and medical expenses, by filing a workers’ compensation claim. This is a benefit that’s paid by the state, but the claims process and payments will be handled by your employer’s insurance company.

Now, it’s possible that there may be a third party that’s liable for your injuries. For example, you may have been injured by a falling sign that was improperly installed by a contractor. This type of situation may give you the right to seek compensation from a third party (third party lawsuit), while you are receiving benefits from the state.

We can help you explore these options during a free consultation at our law firm. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you have questions or concerns about a workplace accident claim as an employee of Raising Cane’s.    

Potential Settlement Value of a Lawsuit against Raising Cane’s

Compensation from an accident claim includes various damages that will compensate you for the expenses associated with your accident. These include payment for medical bills, reimbursement of lost wages, and damage to your personal belongings. In addition, you may have grounds to ask for non-economic damages, like pain and suffering.

If we had to give a range of estimates, compensation awards at our law firm usually fall within the range of $15,000 to $3,000,000. For the most catastrophic injuries, it’s possible to see awards of $5,000,000 or more, which is likely to include punitive damages. This is a form of additional payment that’s awarded by a jury when negligence by the defendant is especially outrageous. As your case involves numerous factors that are unique to your accident, we will need to speak with you in person to determine a potential settlement value.

How Soon can I Expect to Receive Payment on my Case?

How long it takes to settle a personal injury is a complicated subject with no definitive answers. Frankly, we have had claims that were resolved in just a few weeks, due to the insurance company’s willingness to make a fair offer. But quick settlements are the exception rather than the rule, because it’s not in the insurance company’s interest to pay you what you deserve. Instead, their goal is to close your case for the lowest possible amount, which is why settlement offers are exchanged back and forth between your lawyer and the insurance adjuster.

When the defendant is a major fast food chain, it will probably take anywhere from 6 to 12 months before both sides agree on a fair amount of damages. The timeline has to do with a variety of issues, including the amount you are seeking, as well as the insurance company’s response time. To be fair, these companies are handling a huge volume of claims at the same time, so it can take around 3 to 6 weeks to hear back from an insurance company.

If you’re wondering about the possibility of a trial, we would say this is unlikely, as settlements are successfully negotiated in over 95% of all restaurant injury claims. But if your case does head in that direction, obtaining a jury verdict can take 2 or more years, depending on the court’s schedule.

How Much Time Do I have to File a Lawsuit?

If you are a guest or visitor on the premises, you have 2 years to file a lawsuit against the property owner for incidents like slip and falls or burn injuries. This time period normally begins on the date of the accident, so it’s important to initiate a claim as soon as possible and ensure that your lawsuit is filed in a timely manner.

If you are a worker at Raising Cane’s, you have 1 year from the accident date to file a claim for workers’ compensation. You must also notify your employer that you’ve been injured within 30 days of the accident, or you will lose the right to receive benefits from workers’ comp.
