Different Incidents Can Occur on the Premises of In-N-Out
Unfortunately, a number of incidents can occur on the premises of fast food restaurants. These incidents are associated with different hazards or dangerous conditions present on the premises. For example, victims could suffer slip and fall accidents, security guard sexual assault, and foreign objects in food incidents on the premises of fast food restaurants.
Slip and fall accidents, specifically, are the most common types of premise liability accident. Slip and fall accidents (similar to trip and fall accidents) occur due to hazards or dangerous conditions on the floor throughout a premise. Some examples of the hazards that could lead to slip and falls include littered floors (specifically littered with wrappers, papers, or napkins), wet floors or slippery floors (without any warning signs), freshly waxed floors, spilled liquids (such as soda or lemonade), melting ice, and leaks, for example. Similarly, trip and fall accidents are related to blocked walkways, exposed wiring, broken tiles, broken concrete, and potholes, for instance.
Security guard sexual assault incidents are also relatively common. Some fast food restaurants have on-site security to promote the safety of individuals on the premises. Security guards are often hired from outside companies; they can take advantage of their position (and the overall lack of supervision from their employers) and attack customers on the premises. In addition, a number of dangerous conditions on the premises – such as poorly lit areas, isolated areas, and areas without surveillance (blind spots) – can all contribute to these devastating attacks.’
Foreign objects in food incidents are also relatively common. Customers can find foreign object in their food usually hidden within the food but sometimes in plain sight. When there is a foreign object in food, customers can bite into the foreign object and sometimes even swallow the foreign object. These incidents are typically associated a lack of cleanliness, a lack of food quality control, and a general lack of care or caution during food handling.

Premise Liability – You Could Pursue a Claim
Can you sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a premise liability incident at In-N-Out? Based on the details surrounding the incident, you might have grounds to pursue a claim – more specifically, you might have grounds to pursue a claim based on the concept of premise liability. What is premise liability? How does the concept of premise liability establish your right to sue?
Based on premise liability, property owners – such as the owners of In-N-Out and other fast food chains – owe their customers (their guests) a duty of care. To exercise their duty of care, they must ensure that their entire premises, which includes the entire premises (the actual restaurant as well as the parking lot), is completely free of any dangerous conditions that could lead to incidents. Property owners must inspect their premises to be able to identify and address the hazards present; they must be on top of any required maintenance and repairs to keep premises safe.
Unfortunately, property owners can breach their duty of care – resulting in dangerous conditions throughout their premises. The dangerous conditions can directly lead to an incident, which can contribute to harm. Based on the concept of premise liability, when a breached duty of care lead to harm, the party or entity that breached the duty of care could be held accountable. In other words, affected consumers could sue the liable property owner; that is, you could sue In-N-Out.

The Statute of Limitations

In California, premise liability claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations, meaning that claimants have two years to file their claims.
