I know \u2013 I\u2019ve worked in them myself before.<\/p>\n<p>But ultimately if you are injured by a member of the waiting team, you may be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation from the restaurant.

Normally you wouldn\u2019t sue the actual person themselves \u2013 their actions are the responsibility of the employer, which will normally be the restaurant, cafe, or other proprietor of the place.<\/p>\n<p>Injuries can of course range from minor to severe burns, which could leave scarring, or general soft tissue injuries \u2013 but either way, you don\u2019t have to be seriously injured in order to make a claim.

We also offer No Win, No Fee agreements so you shouldn\u2019t be charged either way (so long as you comply with the agreement of course).<\/p>\n<p>Be careful though \u2013 most other law firms will not offer you the chance to keep all of your payout because the law changed in April 2013 which stopped lawyers recover all of their fees from the other side. We can still recover fees, just not as much as we used to be able to. As such, most other solicitors will take a cut from your claim.<\/p>\n<p>Call us now for help and advice on 0800 634 75 75.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No one expects to be injured through no fault of their own \u2013 and it can be even more annoying when you\u2019re injured at a place you\u2019re meant to be enjoying yourself.
