“The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.”
This popular quote, attributed to the legendary author Mark Twain, can also apply to the world’s leading fast-food chain, McDonald’s. For more than 50 years, industry analysts have written off the burger behemoth as a chain that has seen better days. Whether Burger King seemed like the next best thing or Taco Bell appeared poised to ascend the throne as the most popular chain, the reports of McDonald’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, McDonald’s restaurants remain as busy as ever, even after taking a huge financial hit from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Busy McDonald’s restaurants translate into a financial windfall for investors, but it also creates a costly problem that every quick service restaurant faces. Slip and fall accidents are a common occurrence at fast-food restaurants. From wet floors in bathrooms to slick surfaces located next to beverage stations, fast-food chains like McDonald’s experience a higher-than-average number of slip and fall accidents for businesses operating in the hospitality industry. In addition to the sheer volume of customers, fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s also deal with an acute labor shortage, which makes it difficult to stay on top of monitoring the safety hazards that cause slip and fall accidents.
If you experienced a slip and fall at McDonald’s, you should take immediate action by meeting with an experienced personal injury attorney who specializes in handling cases that involve slip and fall accidents. An experienced lawyer knows how to obtain the type of persuasive evidence that helps you get an insurance claim approved, as well as file a successful civil lawsuit that seeks monetary damages. To file a successful personal injury lawsuit, your attorney must prove the four elements of negligence, which are duty of care, breaching a duty of care, causation, and financial losses.
