Restaurant Canopy Collapse Attorney in Los Angeles

Outdoor dining has become the norm for restaurants all over Los Angeles and Southern California in general. Some restaurants that had permanent outdoor setups (like patios, for instance) have continued to use them during this time. However, the restaurants without existing outdoor setups have had to resort to temporary setups using portable tents and canopies. Although these tents and canopies have been convenient, they have also proven to be problematic.

The failure to properly secure these tents and canopies when there is high wind, for instance, has contributed to incidents that have harmed innocent people. Regardless of the specific cause of the incident, the incident likely could have been avoided. Were you or a member of your family harmed in an outdoor restaurant tent fall incident?

Can You Sue for Your Injuries?

Do you have the right to pursue a claim for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered? Can you sue for the harm resulting from a restaurant canopy collapse incident in Los Angeles? Based on the details surrounding the incident and the harm suffered, you could have grounds to sue. Your right to sue after a restaurant tent collapse incident will be based on the concept of premise liability. Based on premise liability, all property owners owe their guests a duty of care – a duty to ensure that their premises are completely safe for their guests. Property owners must inspect their premises thoroughly to be able to identify and address any hazards present. This definitely applies to restaurant owners and their outdoor tent setups. For instance, if a restaurant owner fails to inspect the tent after wind, rain, or even fire to ensure that it is safe to continue using, they are breaching their duty of care to their guests. Whenever a property owner breaches their duty of care, they can put their guests at risk of suffering harm. When a guest is harmed as a direct result of a breached duty of care, the property owner can be liable.

What does this mean? If you were injured in a restaurant tent collapse incident, you could be eligible to sue the restaurant owner. If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately. Our lawyers will provide you with all the information that you need to better understand your right to sue.

• Medical costs
• Lost earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial fees
• Punitive damages
• Legal expenses

How much compensation could you be eligible to receive? The total amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive will be strictly based on the details surrounding your claim.

What Should You Do?

Were you injured as a result of a restaurant canopy collapse incident? If so, there are a number of things that you should do to ensure that you can prepare to pursue your claim against the restaurant owner. Consider some of the recommendations listed below:

• Seek medical care for your injuries
• Take photos of the tent or canopy
• Take photos of the entire scene of the incident
• Take photos of all your injuries
• Report the incident to the restaurant owner (request a copy of your report for your records)
• Speak to all witnesses present at the time of the incident (and collect their contact information for later reference)
• Gather all medical records associated with the harm suffered in the incident
• Gather all records of any lost income resulting from your injuries and inability to work
• Gather any relevant records of property damage
• Seek the expertise of a lawyer immediately

File Your Claim Within the Deadline

Although you could have the right to sue, you could actually lose your right to sue if you fail to file your claim within the appropriate length of time. This is because all injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants do not file their claims within the allowed the length of time, they could lose their right to sue. What deadline applies to your claim? If you were injured in a Los Angeles incident, your claim will be subject to the California statute of limitations, which determines the total length of time that claimants have to sue – two years. In other words, claimants only have two years to file their claims. If claimants fail to file their claims within the appropriate length of time, they could lose their right to sue entirely.

Although this strict deadline applies, it is possible for exceptions to the statute of limitations to apply (i.e., the deadline could be tolled or paused for some time). To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that applies to your restaurant canopy collapse injury lawsuit in Los Angeles, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers will ensure that you file your claim on time.
