Accidents in Pizza Hut

A restaurant has a duty of care to its customers and there are regulations in place to protect diners from injury. Restaurants should take reasonable precautions to reduce the risk of an accident happening.

If a restaurant has failed in its duty to keep you safe while you are dining in its restaurant and you become injured as a result, you may have cause to make a claim.

Common types of accidents in Pizza Hut

There are a number of different kinds of accidents that might occur in a restaurant, including:

• Slip, trips or falls, caused by, for instance, loose items on the floor, spillages or defective flooring potentially causing bruising, cuts, scrapes, fractured or broken bones and head injuries.
• Burns from hot food, drinks or cooking appliances.
• Cuts from kitchen utensils or sharp objects.
• Food poisoning or illnesses.
• Falling downstairs.

Injured while working for Pizza Hut

A restaurant is legally obligated to keep its employees safe while they are at work and must put measures in place in order to do so.

If you have been injured at work in an incident that came about due to your employer neglecting their duty of care, you may be entitled to compensation.

To do this you will need to be able to demonstrate that:

1. You were an employee of the company
2. Your employer neglected their duty of care
3. This negligence was the cause of your injury

Being able to demonstrate these points indicates that your employer is responsible for your injury due to the breach of their duty of care. In that case, you should seek legal advice from the expert team of personal injury lawyers at Jefferies Solicitors. If you are eligible, they will fight your case to secure you the compensation you deserve – all with our no win, no fee guarantee.

Injured as a Pizza Hut delivery driver?

While it is possible for any person to get injured while driving on the road, those who are delivery drivers can especially be at risk due to the time constraints of their job and the simple fact that they spend a large amount of time on roads. Furthermore, food delivery drivers might be more at risk as they are more likely to use a bicycle or motorcycle which can increase your risk of being injured while travelling for more information see our delivery driver accident claims page.

Claims against Pizza Hut

If you are injured as a customer or employee, there are a number of steps you should take if you are considering making a personal injury claim.

When making any kind of accident claim, it is essential that you have a specialist on your side. You have just three years from the date of your accident in which to make a claim, so it is important that you begin the legal process as soon as possible. If you are a minor or would like to claim on behalf of a child, the three-year timeframe begins on the date of their eighteenth birthday.

AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION for claims against Pizza Hut

All personal injury cases are unique and so the amount of compensation that is awarded in each case is also unique. The amount of compensation that is awarded is determined by looking at two distinct factors – general damages and special damages.

GENERAL DAMAGES

The pain and suffering that your injuries have caused is the main factor that is used to determine how much compensation you are owed. This will usually be determined by undergoing a medical examination, from which a report is created that outlines the length of time the injuries will take to heal as well as their severity.

Our compensation calculator gives an indication of how much you might be entitled to based upon your injuries. Jefferies Solicitors will take these different details relating to your injury into account when calculating how much compensation you should be awarded, which will then be put forward to the opposing side and the judge.

SPECIAL DAMAGES

However, compensation also takes into account any financial losses that you might have suffered as a result of your injuries, such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work. If you have had to pay for treatment or travel to treatment, compensation may also be able to cover this as well. Therefore, you should keep any receipts or other documents that help to outline the extent of your financial losses, as caused by your accident/injuries.

We recently claimed £9,000 in compensation for a client who suffered food poisoning at Nando’s!
