We all enjoy dining out at our favorite restaurant. Whether you are just stopping in for a quick bite to eat or celebrating a milestone with your family, restaurants and bars are popular places to relax and unwind.

Sarasota features an array of dining options throughout the city. Visitors can enjoy outdoor cafes, breweries, and casual dining. Whether you want seafood, barbeque, or burgers, you can find just about any cuisine in Sarasota. Enjoying a meal at a restaurant is a great way to unwind and connect with friends but dining out can come with risks.

Slips and falls in Sarasota are some of the most common accidents in bars and restaurants. Floors can become slick if spilled drinks or dropped food isn't cleaned up promptly. Self-serve drink machines can overflow or leak, causing people to slip and fall. Even bathrooms with leaky faucets or overflowing toilets can create slippery floors that could lead to injury if you fall. Some restaurants and bars may have stairs or steps inside. People can slip and fall if they don't have the proper grip on the floor or handrails.

When you lose your balance as you slip and fall in a restaurant or bar, you could be seriously hurt. Torn ligaments, sprains, and broken bones are common slip and fall injuries. If you hit your head on the floor or a nearby table, you could experience a traumatic brain injury.

Other common causes of accidents in Sarasota restaurants and bars include

• Burns from hot plates or scalding liquids
• Chairs or tables that stick out in the aisle may cause people to trip and fall.
• Wet entrances, loose floor mats, or walkways without proper grip can cause people to slip and fall.
• Undercooked or poorly prepared food can house foodborne illnesses that may make people sick.
• Negligent security
• Parking lot slip and falls
• Trip and fall accidents
• Water leaks in restrooms
• Assaults by staff, bartenders or security
