Holiday Party Accidents and Injuries

With so many possibilities of activities at holiday celebrations, a wide variety of accidents and incidents can occur. You need a knowledgeable attorney from Kinnally Flaherty Krentz Loran Hodge & Masur P.C. to evaluate the circumstances surrounding your incident and confirm your eligibility for compensation. If you qualify, we can help you with your personal injury claim.

Negligence is the basis for most of these claims, referring to careless behaviors that result in accidents, injuries, and associated damages.

Slip and Fall Accidents

This type of premises liability accident occurs when you slip or trip due to a hazardous condition, causing you to fall and sustain injuries. To qualify for compensation, the party responsible for the property must have known or should have known about the danger and had enough time to address it, yet failed to. A slip-and-fall accident can happen inside a building or on the grounds, frequently causing broken bones, head injuries, and scrapes.

Inadequate Security Incidents

Whether your gathering is at a restaurant, office building, residence, or public space, property owners and managers should provide adequate security to diminish the threat of assaults and other crimes. Poor lighting, insufficient security guards, and inadequate locks can give you grounds for a claim if you are harmed.

Food Poisoning

Many holiday parties are catered, and others are held at restaurants. The people preparing and serving your food and drink should follow safe food handling practices to avoid contamination. They should also inform partygoers about known allergens in their menus. If you contract food poisoning or have an allergic reaction, you could hold the provider accountable.

Drunk Driving Accidents

Many holiday gatherings involve alcoholic beverages. The number of drunk drivers on Illinois roads during this season is alarming. Even if you were not attending a party, these drivers can still cause collisions that injure you and yours. Common injuries in car accidents include head and traumatic brain injuries, organ and soft tissue damage, spinal cord injuries, and fractures.

Defective Products

From toys that present choking hazards to unsafe rented ice skates causing falls, defective products can lead to various injuries. Unsafe foods that were contaminated before distribution may also be considered defective. Product liability laws can help hold the manufacturer of a defective product responsible.
