Am I Eligible To Claim Compensation For My Accident At A Caffè Nero?

To make an effective compensation claim for an accident at a cafe or coffee shop, your personal injury solicitor will have to prove the following:

  1. That the coffee shop owed you a duty of care, i.e. that you were a customer or employee of the coffee shop, or another person with reason to use their business premises such as a self employed repair person or health inspector. A duty of care, means that the coffee shop was responsible for providing you with a safe and hygienic environment in which to dine, visit or work.
  2. That the coffee shop violated their duty of care towards you through a negligent action or inaction, which caused an avoidable coffee shop accident, which resulted in you becoming injured or ill. This could be negligence on the part of a member of staff, the management of a single branch or the company as a whole.
  3. That the accident was the cause of your illness or injury, for example that your injury was not due to an existing medical condition or another accident you have suffered.

If you make a Caffè Nero compensation claim, your personal injury lawyer will consult you in depth and use a medical report to gather evidence to support your claim.

Similarly, a broken or damaged floor could cause a slip, trip or fall.. Slip and fall injuries can have serious consequences, such as causing broken or fractured bones.
  • Coffee shop Burns: They could be caused by customers being served hot drinks at a temperature that is too hot, or staff being burned on machinery, amongst other hazards.
  • Food Poisoning: Food poisoning at coffee shops could be caused by food being served that is past its use by date or has not been properly stored or prepared.
  • Damaged and/ or broken furniture: Damaged or broken furniture could fall underneath the weight of a customer, causing them to fall backwards and hurt their backs. In more serious cases, customers or staff can be crushed by falling furniture which hasn’t been properly secured to the wall.

This can be especially dangerous in a staff kitchen area, as a staff member can instinctively reach for an appliance, pulling it onto themselves as they fall.
