Carvel Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit
While there is only one Carvel location in California at 11037 Santa Monica Boulevard, the chain of upscale ice cream parlors has over 330 locations across the country.

So any warm day, you can find countless patrons waiting in line at this quaint store to get their favorite dairy treat.

Tasty Treats Can Mean Slippery Floors
As you wait your turn at Carvels, getting inured is the furthest thing from your mind. You envision a refreshing cold treat that will lift your spirits and boost your energy. Never do you think to spend your time scanning the floor for puddles of water, melting ice, or a glob of half-melted ice cream. But all those hazards and more can lurk just a few feet from you.
Though you might not consciously think about it, you assume that when you enter Carvels or any store, the staff is dedicated to keeping the floors clean and safe. You do not apply the legal term of duty of care, but you know there is a general expectation of a safe and clean shopping space. So you focus on deciding what to order and can easily miss the many hazards in the store, which could include:
- Drinks or food spilled on the floor
- Huge drips of ice cream or a milkshake that fell to the floor
- Ice cream toppings that fell from a mounded bowl of sweetness
- Ice that was dropped on the floor or fell from a dispenser
Sadly, it would only take a minute for an employee to clean up these issues when they happen. But by choosing to ignore these spills, they fail to meet their obligation to their customers for a safe and hazard-free store. And spills are not the only hazards that many Carvel employees choose to overlook. These hazards are also easy to eliminate but hold the potential to cause severe injuries:
- Plastic spoons, paper napkins, straws, straw wrappers, wax paper, and other litter on the floor
- Receipts that fall to the floor
- Floor mats that are damaged or folded
- Water leaking onto the floor from a clogged drain, leaking water line, or damaged plumbing fixture
- Coolers that are leaking
- Inventory that is blocking walkways before being placed on proper shelving
Any of these problems could be addressed in just a minute or two. But when the staff ignores them, they become serious safety hazards for customers of Carvel.
When Is Carvel Liable For My Injuries And Expenses?
Rarely is there a simple or fast answer to whom is responsible for a slip and fall injury accident. However, the seasoned professionals at Kenmore Law Group are ready to help you sort through your slip and fall incident details to determine if you have grounds for a Carvel slip and fall injury lawsuit.
The central factor that must be evaluated is whether the staff met their duty of care responsibilities. Was there an issue the staff at Carvel could have and should have corrected to prevent you from suffering a slip and fall injury? Did they fail to mop up a spill or clean up ice from the floor that resulted in your fall? The team at Kenmore Law Group will help you understand the obligations placed on the Carvel staff by duty of care and premises liability laws to determine if they are liable for your injuries. And if your case has legal merit, the team will explain how to proceed with a Carvel slip and fall injury lawsuit to secure the settlement or verdict you deserve for the injuries and losses you suffered.
How Much Is My Carvel Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit Worth?
The value of each lawsuit handled by Kenmore Law Group is different because it is based on the losses and expenses incurred by the victim. Our job is to help our clients gather all the information and supporting documents related to these expenses to ensure Carvel fully and fairly compensates them. Some of the most common items you will gather include information about:
- Medical expenses for treating your slip and fall injuries

- Your lost income if the injuries you sustained prevent you from working
In addition, our staff will provide the dollar amount of your legal fees to prepare the Carvel slip and fall lawsuit to include them in the claim. Finally, if your injuries are severe or require an extended time to recover, your legal team will recommend an amount to compensate you for pain and suffering. This dollar figure is generally determined based on previous cases with similar injuries. Our goal is always to ensure that you can move past this troubling incident with no added financial debt caused by someone else’s negligence.
What Carvel Slip And Fall Injuries Could Be Considered Severe?
The term slip and fall is often misunderstood to mean a minor event with minimal injuries. However, it is often far from accurately describing what a Carvel slip and fall injury victims sustain. Some of the most challenging injuries suffered include:
- Back, neck, or spinal cord damage
- Broken or fractured bones and soft tissue injuries with permanent damage or limitations
- Facial injuries to the eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, ears, or skin
- Dislocated joints and damage to the connective tissue of the joints
- Puncture wounds and severe lacerations that can include damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
- Head injuries that range from a skull fracture or concussion to more severe brain hemorrhages, contusions, or other traumatic brain injuries
In addition to the physical injuries sustained, most victims of these traumas face astronomical medical expenses, lost wages resulting in added financial hardships, and emotional challenges such as increased stress and anxiety or depression. And all of this could have been avoided if the staff at Carvels had been more attentive to their duty of care obligations and their patron’s safety.
The Statute Of Limitations For A Carvel Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit
The Statute of Limitations on a personal injury case is typically two years from the incident. If the case is not filed with the court in that time, the victim loses the right to seek compensation. If any exceptions to this rule apply to your case, the staff at Kenmore Law Group will explain why they could be beneficial to you and your claim against Carvel.
