Texas Roadhouse Restaurant Accident

If you’ve been badly injured at a Texas Roadhouse - whether by slipping in the dining area, tripping over furniture, or falling in the parking lot - you may have legal options under Florida premises liability law. Such injuries often result in costly medical treatment, missed wages, and ongoing discomfort. You don't have to handle this alone. Call Wolfson & Leon at 561‑997‑7558 for a free consultation about your claim.

Texas Roadhouse is renowned for its hand-cut steaks, hearty sides, lively atmosphere, and casual, family-friendly dining. People visit for birthdays, date nights, or weekly dinners. But the very features that draw crowds - busy dining rooms, high traffic, peanuts on the floor, and late-night hours - can also create hazards.

Spilled drinks, uneven flooring, furniture too close together, or poorly lit stairways can turn an enjoyable meal into a serious injury. The effects of a serious accident often extend beyond physical injuries to emotional and mental stress.

You can find Texas Roadhouse restaurants in and around West Palm Beach, including:

• Texas Roadhouse, 8865 Southern Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33411
• Texas Roadhouse, 3001 Old Boynton Road, Boynton Beach, FL 33436

Both locations serve large crowds, featuring indoor and outdoor walkways, busy parking lots, and evening foot traffic, conditions that increase the likelihood of accidents.

1. Slips – from spilled sauces, drinks, or grease.
2. Trips – due to uneven floors, mats, cords, or closely placed furniture.
3. Falls from broken furniture – such as chairs, benches, or unstable booths.
4. Parking lot or walkway accidents – potholes, cracked pavement, curbs, or wet surfaces.
5. Poor lighting – dimly lit hallways, stairwells, or parking areas.
6. Lack of supervision during busy hours – delayed cleanup, unattended hazards, or insufficient staff monitoring.

In Florida, restaurants like Texas Roadhouse must take reasonable steps to prevent hazards and protect visitors. If a hazardous condition exists and the restaurant fails to address it or warn customers, it may be liable for injuries caused by its negligence.

Florida applies modified comparative fault. This means if you share some of the blame for an accident, your compensation will be cut in proportion to your share of the fault. So, if you were found 20% responsible, your award would be reduced by 20%. However, you won't be entitled to any compensation if your share of fault exceeds 50%. This makes preserving evidence and documenting the accident critical to protect your rights.

To pursue compensation successfully, you generally must show:

• The hazardous condition existed (or should have been known)
• The restaurant failed to fix the hazard or warn you
• The hazard directly caused your injury

Since restaurants might try to shift part of the blame onto the customer, engaging a West Palm Beach personal injury attorney who can effectively challenge those arguments can be critical.

Restaurant accidents at Texas Roadhouse can cause a range of injuries, from minor to severe:

• Sprains, strains, or ligament tears
• Broken bones or fractures
• Head injuries, including concussions
• Back, neck, or spinal injuries
• Soft tissue injuries (muscles or tendons)
• Serious, long-term injuries like paralysis or permanent impairment

Even injuries that seem minor at first may require ongoing medical care or develop into chronic conditions.

Protecting your health and your claim starts the moment an accident happens at Texas Roadhouse - here's what you should do.

1. Seek immediate medical attention. Even minor-seeming injuries should be evaluated.
2. Report the accident to staff or management. Ask that it be formally documented.
3. Photograph the scene and evidence. Capture spills, broken furniture, lighting issues, and your injuries.
4. If others saw the incident, be sure to collect their names and phone numbers. They may provide key support for your claim.
5. Preserve damaged items. Keep clothing, shoes, or objects involved in the incident.
6. Follow all medical recommendations. Compliance with treatment supports your claim.
7. Insurance companies often use recorded statements to limit payouts, so get legal advice before agreeing to one.
8. Contact a knowledgeable restaurant accident attorney as soon as possible. Early investigation strengthens your case.

Handling restaurant accident claims can be a complex process. You may face lowball offers from insurance companies, and liability might be divided among several parties. An experienced attorney can:

• Explain your legal rights and Florida law
• Fight for full compensation rather than low settlements
• Identify all responsible parties
• Ensure your claim is taken seriously
