Fighting For Your Rights
Pursuing a premises liability claim against a restaurant can be a highly complex process, especially in a sprawling market like Southern California where corporate chains and independent pop-ups operate under very different insurance structures. The key to a successful restaurant injury claim is proving that the business owner or staff either knew about the hazardous condition or reasonably should have known about it, yet failed to correct it in time. Unfortunately, restaurant management teams and corporate insurers are notoriously quick to scrub security footage, repair broken fixtures, and try to blame the victim for their own fall. You need a proactive legal advocate who can immediately launch a thorough investigation to secure vital evidence before it disappears. Novik Law Group goes the extra mile for our clients, dealing with the aggressive insurance adjusters on your behalf while providing you access to top medical specialists so you can focus entirely on your physical healing.

What Is Restaurant Negligence Law?
Restaurant negligence is a specific type of premises liability involving accidents and injuries that occur in a restaurant. For example, a customer being served too-hot food that causes serious burns, requiring medical attention, would fall under restaurant negligence.
Since restaurants are businesses, customers can suffer injury as a result of a negligent business owner or their employees. A customer can be injured by slipping on food in the dining area of a restaurant that an employee saw but did nothing to clean up. A customer can also be injured in the bathroom of a restaurant because the maintenance company or cleaning crew mopped the floor but failed to properly dry the floor or provide proper warning that the floor was still wet. In both examples, the owner of the restaurant knew of the dangerous condition, or through the exercise of reasonable care, should have known about it, yet failed to act in a reasonable way to prevent an injury. That means he’s liable for the bills those injuries cause.
What About Negligent Restaurant Security?
Since restaurants are businesses with cash money coming in (and liquor going out), security should be in place to keep patrons safe. For example, if fights have broken out in the past at a nightclub, the club should provide professional security on site to help keep customers safe. In general, brawls and other crimes committed in a restaurant only become the restaurant’s responsibility if the restaurant owner had reason to believe there was the possibility of violence or crime in the future, yet did nothing to prevent or minimize it.
When Is the Restaurant Liable vs. the Property Owner for a Restaurant Fall or Accident?
Most restaurants lease or rent their space from a commercial property owner. As such, it can be difficult to determine who is actually liable for accidents that occur in or around a restaurant. For example, if you fell down stairs in disrepair, it’s likely that the property owner is liable. However, if the restaurant’s lease states they are responsible for all property repairs, such as those stairs, then the restaurant owner might be liable.
These kinds of details are why it is essential to hire an experienced restaurant fall attorney in Los Angeles after any injury in a restaurant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more by reading some of the most commonly asked questions we receive at our office.
What should I do immediately after slipping and falling at a restaurant in Los Angeles?
Your first priority is your health, so seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel your injuries are minor—adrenaline can often mask serious trauma. Before leaving the restaurant, report the incident to the manager and request a copy of the written incident report. If you are physically able, take photos of the exact spot where you fell, the hazard that caused it (like spilled drinks or torn rugs), and gather contact information from any witnesses. Finally, contact a local Los Angeles restaurant accident lawyer at Novik Law Group before speaking to the restaurant’s corporate insurance representatives.
Who is financially responsible if I get hurt in a restaurant located inside an LA shopping mall?
Liability can be shared or split depending on exactly where the accident occurred and what the commercial lease dictates. If you slipped on a spilled beverage inside the restaurant’s dining area, the restaurant owner is typically liable. However, if you tripped over broken tiles in a shared restroom or common hallway of a mall in the San Fernando Valley, the mall’s property management company may be responsible. Our experienced attorneys will review the lease agreements and site layout to identify every liable party.
Can I still recover compensation if I tripped at an outdoor dining patio on a public sidewalk?
Yes. In Los Angeles, many restaurants utilized the “Al Fresco” program to expand their dining areas onto public sidewalks and streets. Even though these spaces sit on public property, the restaurant is legally obligated to keep its designated seating area safe and free from tripping hazards like exposed extension cords, unstable temporary flooring, or poorly secured barriers. Novik Law Group can help you navigate the complexities of outdoor dining liability in LA.
Will my restaurant injury case have to go to court in California?
The vast majority of restaurant negligence and slip-and-fall cases are settled out of court through aggressive negotiation with the restaurant’s commercial liability insurance provider. However, if the insurer refuses to offer a fair settlement that covers your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, our litigation-tested attorneys at Novik Law Group are fully prepared to take your case to trial in Los Angeles County to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
