The Types of Incidents that Guests Could Suffer

When guests visit Starbucks locations, they do not expect to suffer any sort of incident. Unfortunately, personal injury incidents can occur at any time – including when individuals are simply trying to get their morning coffee, for instance. What types of incidents can occur on the premises of Starbucks? Consider some of the examples listed below:

• Slip and fall incidents – slip and fall accidents are associated with different slip hazards that could be present throughout the premises of any location. Slip hazards include wet floors, leaks, spills, recently mopped/waxed floors, slippery surfaces, and missing warning signs, for instance.
• Trip and fall incidents – trip and fall accidents are associated with a number of trip hazards that could be represent throughout the premises of Starbucks locations. Some examples of trip hazards include broken concrete, potholes, uneven floors, sudden changes in flooring, torn carpeting, broken tiles, and misplaced mats, for instance.
• Sexual assault incidents – sexual assault incidents are typically associated with the malicious actions of individuals; however, certain hazards within a premise, including dark, isolated areas, and a lack of security could increase the risk of these incidents.
• Assault and battery incidents – assault and batter incidents are normally associated with the malicious actions of individuals, but hazards like a lack of security, a lack of surveillance, and isolated areas can increase the risk of these incidents.
• Falling object incidents – many coffee shops have signs, posters, fans, light fixtures, and décor on walls and ceilings. If not installed correctly or not maintained as necessary, they can loosen and eventually fall and strike anyone who is nearby.
• Burn injuries – coffee shops essentially depend on the cups for business; their cups, however, can potentially be defective, resulting in hot drinks leaking or spilling and causing burn injuries. Hot drinks can potentially lead to burns ranging in severity.

Whether you suffered a fall at a bathroom or any other incident anywhere on the premises of a Starbucks location, you likely suffered significant injuries. Personal injury accidents are associated with a number of injuries, including but not limited to head injuries (including concussions), traumatic brain injuries, skull injuries, neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, back injuries, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, hip injuries, fractures, sprains and strains, lacerations, scrapes and bruises, and many other injuries.

Regardless of the incident and harm that you or a member of your family suffered on the premises of a Starbucks in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, or anywhere else in California, you can trust the experts at our firm to help you better understand your right to sue.

Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Do I need an Attorney?

This is a fair question to ask, since you can file an injury claim on your own by reporting your accident to a Starbucks employee – ideally someone in charge, like a store manager. Afterwards, an insurance adjuster will get in touch with you to ask questions about your accident. They will sound friendly and sympathetic, but this is typically a ploy to earn your trust and get you to say something that can later be used against you. Many Starbucks injury victims also find themselves spammed by insurance adjusters, who want to pressure them into a low-ball settlement so that they can close the case and move on to the next one.

Our law firm has experienced attorneys who can represent you in any kind of accident claim against a Starbucks location. Our areas of specialty include complex injury cases, such as:

• Starbucks awning collapse attorney

Awnings at stores and restaurants may collapse for several reasons, including improper maintenance by the property owner, defective product by the manufacturer, and negligence by the installation company. Sometimes, more than one of these parties may be at fault, so it’s essential to discuss the right legal strategy with a knowledgeable accident injury attorney.

• Starbucks bench collapse attorney

Benches on the outer perimeter of a Starbucks café may appear strong and sturdy, but there may be structural weaknesses that can cause it to unexpectedly collapse. Improper installation, defective hardware, corroded parts, and failure to inspect and maintain the bench are the main reasons for a bench collapse accident. As with collapsed awning injuries, it can be very challenging to determine which party, or parties, are liable for your accident.

• Starbucks parking lot accident attorney

The majority of parking lot accidents can be blamed on a careless or reckless driver. However, it’s possible for a Starbucks store to create hazards, or fail to resolve a hazardous condition in their parking lot. If your car crash, pedestrian accident, or some other parking lot incident was caused by a potentially dangerous condition, you may have grounds to sue Starbucks for your injuries.

• Starbucks bathroom sexual assault attorney

Unfortunately, public bathrooms are often targeted by sexual predators, as victims are typically in various stages of undress. In addition, many store bathrooms are poorly maintained, meaning they may have broken doors and locks, especially on the bathroom stalls. Without such basic security measures, it’s easy for someone to be cornered and sexually assaulted. Because these bathrooms tend to be away from the main areas of the store, victims typically find that they are unable to get anyone’s attention, making them even more vulnerable to a traumatic attack.

• Starbucks assault attorney / Starbucks cashier assault attorney

Assault and battery incidents can occur between customers and Starbucks employees for a number of reasons. Sometimes, the store will try to justify these attacks by saying that the customer was trying to steal something, leave without paying, etc. Regardless of the reason, Starbucks is vicariously liable for the actions of their employees if they’re committed within the scope of their job duties. Thus, if you were the victim of a Starbucks assault and battery incident, especially one that involved excessive force (chokeholds, for example), please contact us right away to learn about your rights and legal options.

• Starbucks exposed rebar or parking stopper trip and fall

A rebar, or reinforcing bar, is typically found under concrete structures to add strength and stability. However, they can be the source of serious injury when the concrete structure is damaged, causing the rebar to be exposed. These structures are usually dark in color, making them difficult to see. Thus, it’s imperative that store owners repair the surrounding concrete or put up signs to warn people about the hazard.

The same can be said for parking stoppers, also known as parking blocks, which are supposed to stand out so that people can clearly see them from a good distance. Most of these are bright, neon colors or painted with neon stripes so that they stand out day or night. Otherwise, someone might miss a parking stopper that’s in front of them and trip over it.

• Starbucks delivery cart injury attorney

Starbucks Carts are mobile unit kiosks that can be easily set up to continue operations while a store is temporarily closed. These locations are prone to many of the same accidents as a Starbucks store. Slip and falls, trip and falls, burn accidents, and falling objects can all result in serious bodily harm to an unsuspecting victim.

Premise Liability – You Can Sue

Based on the concept of premise liability, all property owners owe their guests a duty of care – a duty to ensure that their premises are free of any hazards or dangerous conditions that could contribute to incidents and harm to their guests. What does this mean? Property owners must thoroughly and routinely test and inspect their premises to be able to identify and address the hazards or dangerous conditions present throughout their premises before any incident occurs. Unfortunately, property owners could breach their duty of care – that is, they can fail to identify and address the dangerous conditions present in their products and put their consumers at risk of harm. When an incident occurs and a guest is harmed, the property owner could be liable for the harm resulting from the incident. Therefore, the property owner could be sued.

In other words, affected guests could sue Starbucks for the harm that they or members of their families suffered. If you are interested in learning more about whether you could pursue an injury claim against Starbucks for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered on the premises, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately.

What Should You Do?

If you or a member of your family suffered harm in a Starbucks incident, you might have grounds to sue. There are a number of things that you should do to prepare to take legal action against Starbucks. Consider some of the recommendations listed below:

• Take photos of all injuries resulting from the incident
• Take photos of the hazardous condition that resulted in the incident
• Take photos of the entire scene of the incident
• Make a written report of the incident with management
• If necessary, make a report with the local authorities (for sexual assault incidents and assault and battery incidents)
• Seek medical care immediately
• Speak to witnesses and collect their contact information
• Collect any surveillance footage that captured the incident
• Gather all relevant medical records
• Gather records of lost earnings and property damage, if applicable
• Seek legal assistance as soon as possible

You Could Sue and Recover Compensation

If you decide to pursue a claim, you could be eligible to recover compensation for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in an incident on the premises of a Starbucks. What could you be eligible to receive? Based on the details surrounding your claim, you and your family could be eligible to receive compensation for some of the following:

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

If you are interested in learning more about your right to recover monetary compensation for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a Starbucks incident, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately. Our lawyers are ready to aggressively fight for your right to recover the highest amount of compensation available for your claim. You can trust that our lawyers will not rest until you are rightfully compensated.

File the Claim Quickly

Without a doubt, you could sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a Starbucks. Did you know that you could potentially lose your right to sue if you fail to file your claim within the appropriate length of time? This is because all claims are subject to a statute of limitations – which determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants do not file their claims quickly, they can lose their right to pursue any legal action entirely.

What deadline applies to your claim? In California, premise liability claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations; in other words, claimants will only have two years to file their claims against Starbucks. Depending on the details surrounding the claim, exceptions to the statute of limitations could apply (meaning that the deadline could be tolled or paused). To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total time that you have to sue, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm today.
