Dippin’ Dots Slip And Fall Lawsuit
If you enjoy a traditional ice cream cone or bowl of ice cream on a hot California day, you are sure to be excited to try Dippin’ Dots. An innovative team created this new treat to add a new twist to an old favorite treat. The ice cream is flash-frozen at a super cold temperature to create ice-cold dots of refreshing goodness. These little morsels are easy to eat, refreshing, and can be enjoyed almost anywhere.
After learning of this new frozen treat, many Californians are eager to visit one of the following locations to discover all the flavors choices:
- 1 Sun Valley Mall, Concord, CA 94520
- 2774 Livermore Outlets Dr, Livermore, CA 94551
- 447 Great Mall Dr, Milpitas, CA 95035

However, it is crucial to understand that these locations are also well-known for a less exciting fact. They are more prone to slip and fall injury accidents than almost any other fast-service restaurant or ice cream parlor. The size of these small stores or the number of children enthralled with their new frozen treat could account for some of the increased issues. However, the store staff is ultimately responsible for the safety of the patrons. So be on the lookout for issues that could result in a nasty slip and fall accident injury.

Potential Safety Hazards In Dippin’ Dots Stores
Most consumers give little thought to all the housekeeping and cleaning tasks that should be a part of every shift at a retail location like Dippin’ Dots. From mopping floors to picking up trash and fixing folded floor mats, these jobs sound mundane and boring. However, they are vital to the safety of the customers visiting the locations daily. However, not all employees are willing to complete these simple tasks because they fail to see their value. So patrons need to be on the lookout for these all too common slip and fall hazards in many Dippin’ Dots locations:
- Ice cream dots that were spilled on the floor
- Topping like sprinkles or nuts that can make the floor slippery or treacherous
- Ice or drinks that are spilled on the floor
- Floor mats at the entrance that are damaged or folded
- Saturated floor mats at the entrance will not dry your shoes and could even make them more slippery
- Floors that were recently mopped but had no warning sign of the moist floor surface
- Inventory items that are left in walkways, hallways, or the dining area
- Paper napkins, straws, cup lids, or other litter on the floor
- Water leaking from damaged water lines or clogged drains, coolers, or plumbing fixtures
You might not think any of these issues could pose a severe risk to your safety until you become the next Dippin’ Dots slip and fall injury victim. But then it is too late. So remain vigilant and watch for any hazards that could cause you or a loved one to slip and fall or trip and fall at Dippin’ Dots.
Who Is Responsible For Your Injuries?
Just because you were in a Dippin’ Dots store when you fell does not mean the staff or store is responsible for your injuries. Accidents can happen anywhere and anytime. However, the staff in any business is responsible for taking basic steps to provide a safe and hazard-free space for its customers and the general public.
Maintaining the property or store well is part of the duty of care, covering all business spaces and private property. The guidelines are meant to ensure the safety of everyone visiting the property. And the requirements are relatively easy to understand and follow. Store staff must provide the same level of care and maintenance as the average prudent person in their own home.
For example, if you would fix a folded or damaged floor mat at your front door or pick up ice that you dropped on the floor to prevent someone from slipping and falling, the staff at Dippin’ Dots should act in the same manner. When they fail to deliver this basic level of care and housekeeping, they could be found negligent in their duty of care. And when that negligence causes a person to be injured, the store could be held liable for the injuries and losses of the victim.
When you meet your Kenmore Law Group personal injury lawyer for your free consultation, you will discuss the details of your slip and fall incident to determine if Dippin’ Dots could owe you for your injuries. If so, your lawyer will explain the process of filing a Dippin’ Dots slip and fall lawsuit to secure the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
How Much Is A Dippin’ Dots Lawsuit Worth?
The value of any personal injury lawsuit is determined by evaluating the losses and expenses incurred by the victim. You will work with the staff at Kenmore Law Group to compile all the expenses and bills you have received related to the injuries you sustained at Dippin’ Dots. Any items that fall into one of the following standard groups will typically be included in your Dippin’ Dots slip and fall lawsuit claim:
- All medical expenses related to the injuries from the incident, including future treatment required to make a full recovery
- Your lost wages if your injuries perverted you from working
- The value of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the Dippin’ Dots slip and fall
- Your legal fees from Kenmore Law Group for preparing your Dippin’ Dots slip and fall lawsuit
In instances with severe injuries or extended recovery time, it is common to include a dollar amount for your pain and suffering. This figure will be based on previous cases and similar injuries from cases your lawyer has litigated. Their expertise in similar personal injury cases ensures you will receive the most robust settlement or verdict possible for the injuries and losses you have suffered.
What Injuries Are Considered Severe?
Any injury that can impact the rest of the victim’s life, decrease their quality of life, or limit their capability or independence is considered severe. In addition, it is essential to understand that an injury’s severity and impact on the victim can vary based on their age, health, and other medical conditions. However, some injuries tend to have a more significant impact on any victim, such as:
- Broken or fractured bones or joint dislocations with permanent soft tissue damage
- Head injuries involving traumatic brain injuries, concussions, skull fractures, brain contusions, or hemorrhages
- Damage to the neck, back, or spinal cord
- Severe lacerations and puncture wounds that involve damage to internal organs or extensive internal bleeding
- Facial injuries to the skin, nose, eyes, ears, mouth, or teeth
When slip and fall victims suffer these often traumatic injuries, they also face added challenges with large medical bills, financial challenges due to a loss of income, anxiety, increased stress, and depression. Sadly, the impact can follow them for the rest of their lives. And all of the hardships and pain could have easily been prevented if the Dippin’ Dots staff had followed through on their obligations under duty of care.
