Miami Restaurant Accident Attorneys

Helping Victims of Restaurant Accidents Throughout the State of Florida

Miami is a foodie’s paradise, with restaurants for all food cravings and budgets. When going out to eat in a Coral Gables, Wynwood, Miami Beach or Downtown Miami restaurant, you might think about the cocktails you’d want or the appetizers you would like to share, but you are probably not anticipating getting injured while dining.

Miami’s tens of thousands of restaurants are filled with diners, wait staff, bartenders, chefs and kitchen crews. Both residents and tourists frequent Miami restaurants, with residents often spending upwards of $5,000 a year per family on dining out. Miami also receives over 40 million tourist visits a year, and on average, these visitors spend more than $300 per person on food and drinks during their visit. The vibrant Miami restaurant scene draws people to Miami, and unfortunately, some of these dining adventures result in accidents.

These restaurant accidents cause pain, suffering, emotional distress and financial hardship for the victim and their family.

Negligence at Miami Restaurants

When dining out at your favorite Miami restaurant, you are expecting to enjoy delicious food, not to get injured. Property owners, including restaurant owners, are obligated to keep their patrons safe from potential dangers. Restaurateurs must ensure that their restaurant is safe in all aspects of its operation, including the parking lot, lobby, restrooms, floors, kitchen and dining area.  When a restaurant does not live up to its duty, it is negligent, and when this careless conduct causes you to be injured, the restaurant can be held responsible.

Property owners in Florida must use reasonable care in maintaining their properties. They owe the highest level of care to invitees, or visitors (such as diners in a restaurant) who are on the premises for a lawful purpose. For restaurants, the invitees are its diners, its customers.

A Miami restaurant violates, or breaches, its duty of care if its actions constitute a failure to:

• Maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition;
• Fix or repair a dangerous condition of which it knew or reasonably should have known;
• Warn of a danger on the property of which it knew or reasonably should have known.

Negligent food safety can also be a source of injury to diners in Miami restaurants.  Miami restaurants are governed by Florida Statutes to ensure that they follow proper food safety protocols, including proper refrigeration, sanitation and licensing inspections. Failure to follow the prescribed standards is negligence, and this negligence can result in injury to restaurant diners and invited guests.

Regardless of how you were injured in a Miami restaurant, your injuries could be severe and permanent. Brain damage, fractures, spinal cord injuries, intestinal issues and even death can result from an injury in a Miami restaurant. One of the most common restaurant accidents is a slip and fall due to dangerous or unsafe floors. These injury causing accidents can happen anywhere – in the dining room, kitchen, restrooms/bathrooms, parking lot or waiting area. Some other common accidents may include the following:
