What Kind of Injuries Have Chick-fil-A Customers Suffered?
Most slip and fall accidents at Chick-fil-A have not resulted in severe or life-threatening injuries. However, sometimes, customers slip, trip and fall and thus, become seriously injured. There are many ways in which customers can suffer injury from a slip and fall accident. They include:
- Falling on black ice in a parking lot
- Slipping on wet floors at the entrance, in the dining area or in a restroom where there is no sign indicating that the floor is wet
- Falling in the children’s indoor or outdoor playground
Furthermore, such accidents can happen in mall-based Chick-fil-A restaurants in food courts, airports and the dining areas of college campuses. In this scenario, it may be difficult to prove which entity is liable, for liability may be shared between the fast food chain and the mall, airport or college.
