A man has sued Taco Bell after he claims he fell on a wet floor at one of their restaurants. The slip and fall lawsuit was filed in January. The incident happened at a Taco Bell in West Virginia in 2006.

Hailey claims he was injured when he fell. According to the lawsuit, Taco Bell should have known of the unsafe condition of the restaurant and prevented the accident.
Hailey claims he suffered severe injuries and seeks damages for pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of ability to enjoy life, and substantial medical expenses.

The man is asking for an unknown amount for compensatory and punitive damages in the lawsuit. The case will be heard in Kanawha County. Taco Bell had no comment on the lawsuit.

A mother has filed a slip and fall lawsuit on behalf of her underage son against Burger King. The lawsuit alleges that the boy fell in a Chicago area Burger King in 2003. They are asking for $50,000 in damages.

The plaintiffs allege that Burger King carelessly and negligently maintained the play area and "permitted liquids and food to remain on the floor of the premises causing a hazardous condition to their patrons thereon." Furthermore, the restaurant allegedly failed to warn patrons of the hazardous condition within the play area.

Burger King has not commented on the lawsuit. The case may be dismissed because of a two year statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits. The case has its first court date early next year.
