What Are Accidents And Injuries In Restaurants?

We will now look at some accidents that can occur in different restaurants, resulting injuries or illnesses, which are caused by health and safety hazards. Below are some examples of the sorts of accidents or injuries that can be suffered:

    • Slip, trip and fall  injuries: slip, trip and fall injuries are common accidents in restaurants, which can occur if there are hazards on the ground. This could include food and drink that has been spilled on the ground and not immediately mopped up and sign posted or obstructions caused by damaged flooring. Whilst some slip, trip and fall  injuries may be minor, others injuries may be more serious such as broken bones.
    • Burns and serious burn injuries: unfortunately in restaurant kitchens there is a risk of staff becoming burned if proper health and safety procedures are not followed. Also, if food or beverages are served at a temperature that is too hot then this could burn or scald customers when they are dining.
    • Food poisoning caused by food or beverages: If food is not stored or prepared according to correct health and safety standards this can result in you suffering the effect of a foodborne illness.
    • Damaged and/ or broken furniture: Damaged fixtures, furniture, or fittings could be a cause of falls in restaurants. For example, if a stair railing falls away causing a victim to fall down the stairs, or a chair collapses under a diner, causing a back injury. Other faulty furniture accidents could lead to crushing injuries, such as a table collapsing or tipping over.

Can I Claim For A Burn Injury At A Pizza Express?

Both customers and employees of restaurants can be injured by burn injuries. We will now look at how burn injuries and scalds can be caused.

Restaurant Workplace Accident Claims

How could a Pizza Express employee suffer a scald or burn injury at work? In different restaurant kitchens staff use ovens, hobs, grills and deep fat fryers, which could result in them suffering from burns injuries. Burns injuries can happen at busy times when staff are very rushed, causing them to make mistakes in their haste which may put themselves or others at risk. This could also happen if staff have not been properly trained to operate the machinery. If a spillage is left on the ground, causing a slip, trip or fall injury then a chef or kitchen worker could grab the handle or a saucepan full of boiling water, or worse, a deep fat fryer (where the oil can reach temperatures of up to 190℃), causing serious burns injuries, which may have life changing effects on the victim.

Restaurant Customer Accidents And Injuries

Customers could be burned in restaurants if food or beverages are served at too hot a temperature. For example, food that is too hot, could burn the customer or scald them on their mouth, tongue or throat. Hot beverages could cause similar burns or scalds. A drink that is too hot could also cause customers to drop the cup on themselves or someone else and burn them.

If you have experienced a burn injury in any restaurant or other location, phone Accident Claims UK to look into making a restaurant accident claim against the company.

Claim Compensation For Food Poisoning

In Britain, correct procedures for hygienically storing and preparing food are set by the food standards agency. If food is not stored and prepared correctly, this can lead to food poisoning. What are the signs of food poisoning? The signs of food poisoning can include: diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, fever, weakness, nausea and headaches. Severe poisoning can result in a sufferer being put in hospital, or suffering from digestive pain on a permanent basis.
