DALLAS — A woman and her daughter are suing Taco Bell after employees at one of the restaurants in Dallas allegedly dumped a bucket of boiling water on them, causing severe burns and brain function damage. 

Lawyers for the victims are asking for more than $1 million in damages from the defendants: Yum! Brands, Taco Bell Corp., Taco Bell of America, North Texas Bells and the two unidentified employees allegedly involved, who are named in the suit as John Doe and Jane Doe. The victims are being represented by Ben Crump and Paul Grinke.

The incident allegedly occurred June 17 when Brittany Davis and her daughter, a minor child identified in the lawsuit only as C.T., entered the Taco Bell at 11829 Abrams Road. 

"Our hearts break for these two victims whose lives are forever changed because of the horrific and damaging actions by the Taco Bell manager and the larger entities that failed to protect the safety of their customers," Crump and Grinke wrote in a news release. "Not only did Brittany and C.T. suffer physical trauma because of the burns, but they will now live with the psychological trauma that comes with an attack like this. Corporations have a duty to employ quality and stable employees who hold safety as the highest priority."

After their $31 order had been prepared twice incorrectly in the drive-thru, the two customers entered the Taco Bell with their receipt and food bag, with an employee letting them into a dining room and locking the door behind them, according to the lawsuit.

After discussing the order with these two customers for nearly 10 minutes, the lawsuit claims that the employees refused to prepare the food they had paid for and became "combative." 

"Inexplicably, the Taco Bell manager, a Hispanic female, (Jane Doe) who had not been involved in any of the conversations in the dining room, came from behind the counter with a scalding bucket of water and poured it onto C.T. and Brittany," the suit reads. "This water hit C.T. in the face and chest with the boiling water running down her body and soaking into her clothes. Ms. Davis was also hit by the water in the chest."

The two victims claim they then tried to run out of the Taco Bell, screaming -- but the door had been locked. While they were trying to unlock the door, the suit states, the manager came back with a second bucket of boiling water to throw on them, but the two were able to escape beforehand.

The suit says the two victims ran to their car and C.T. began taking off her clothes to try and minimize the burning, while her mother began having seizures due to the trauma. 

"As this family was leaving the parking lot, a Taco Bell employee came outside the front door, laughing, clapping, and taunting the family—adding insult to horrific injury," the suit states. 

According to the suit, C.T. then ran into the emergency room naked to get help for her mother, who was still suffering seizures and burns from not being able to take her clothes off. Davis's clothes had to be cut off with the skin still attached by hospital staff, the suit claims, and she was then care-flighted to an ICU burn unit in Dallas. 

"Brittany suffered deep burns on her chest and stomach with significant damage to her brain function due to the seizures causing her to lose some of her memory," the suit reads. 

Between the time of having the boiling water poured on her and making it to the ICU burn unit, Davis had suffered at least 10 seizures, the suit says. 

"C.T. suffered severe burns to her face, chest, legs, arms, and stomach. The burns on her face will cause discoloring and scarring that will forever impact her self-image," the suit states. "When C.T. was released home from the hospital, her mother had to remove all mirrors from the walls, as C.T. could not bear to see her own face. The burns to the rest of her body caused her skin to bubble the size of softballs."

Charges against the defendants include negligence on the part of the two employees, who the suit states had a duty to exercise ordinary care and breached that by failing to protect or consider the well-being of their customers. 

The suit also charges negligent hiring, training, retention and supervision on the part of the corporations named in the suit, who the suit says had a duty to hire safe and competent employees, enforce safety policies and procedures, and take action to control their employees to prevent injuries to customers.

This Taco Bell and the surrounding block have a history of criminal activity causing bodily harm to patrons, according to the suit.

"Defendants [North Texas Bells] and [Taco Bell of America] knew or should have known about the criminal history both on their premises and in the surrounding area including criminal activity that resulted in bodily harm," the suit states. "In fact, this same address had multiple reported criminal incidents in the weeks prior to the incident that are in the public record."

In a statement to WFAA, Taco Bell said it was in contact with the franchise owner and operator. 

“We take the safety and wellbeing of team members and customers seriously. Taco Bell is in contact with the franchise owner and operator of this restaurant on this matter and cannot comment on specifics of pending litigation," the company said.

How Does Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Texas Prove Liability

Four aspects need to be proved to establish negligence in a brain injury case. Here's how traumatic brain injury lawyer Texas proves liability in a brain injury claim.

According to the CDC, 1.7 million people are affected by traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). According to these figures, roughly 52,000 people die due to TBI; another 275,000 require hospitalization.

These people are frequently eligible for significant monetary compensation for their injuries and other losses due to a TBI. However, they must be able to show liability on the part of another person or party to recover, which can be a legally challenging issue.

As a result, anyone who suffers a TBI should contact a Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Texas specializing in handling cases similar to yours.

How does an attorney prove negligence in a TBI case?

Establishing legal liability in a TBI lawsuit frequently entails proving that another person was irresponsible and carelessness caused the victim's TBI.

It must be demonstrated that the defendant failed to act with the level of care that a reasonable person in the same or similar situation would exercise. It, in turn, frequently necessitates the presenting of a substantial amount of evidence under state and federal rules of evidence. 

Of course, the more compelling the evidence in the patient's case, the more likely he will get compensated for his injuries.

A traumatic brain injury lawyer proves the following elements to prove the liability of the negligent party:

Establishing duty of care

Establishing a duty of care is the first step taken by TBI attorneys in any traumatic brain injury lawsuit, as the defendant will only be held liable for a brain injury claim if they breached their duty of care to the affected victim. In certain circumstances, the existence of these responsibilities is intensely debated, while in others, it is barely debated.

In a brain injury case, the duty of care is generally easy to establish. The most common example is brain damage sustained in automobile accidents. If your TBI occurred due to an automobile accident, establishing the duty of care may be simple.

In other instances, the existence of a duty of care is hotly debated. It is frequently the case when injuries occur on someone else's property. It is where having a Dallas personal injury lawyer in your corner can significantly help you and your case.

Proving the violation of duty

The first step is to establish that the defendant owes a duty of care. Once that is done, the attorney will prove the breach of obligations to collect compensation for their client for the injury suffered. 

The facts surrounding an injury will determine whether or not a breach occurred. Any thoughtless, reckless, or malicious behavior might be considered a breach. If this act resulted in the injury of another person, it might be considered a breach of duty of care.

Proving a causal link

Your traumatic brain injury may result in monetary compensation from the entity that caused it. However, you will only be entitled to seek compensation for injuries directly related to the breached duty of care. 

There will be no monetary compensation available unless there is a causal relationship between the defendant's actions and a brain injury. Proving the casual link can get tricky at times. Traumatic brain injury lawyers with years of experience have the skills and knowledge to deal with situations.

Proving damages

Showing damages in a traumatic brain injury case is the final step taken by the Dallas Personal Injury Lawyers in proving fault. Because these losses are proportional to the degree of the impairment, determining damages for a brain injury may not be difficult. 

A plaintiff could file a claim for lost wages, pain and suffering, medical bills, and disability fees, among other things.

Examples of negligence that may cause a TBI

Impaired driving

Evidence of intoxication might be significant if a drunk or drugged driver caused the accident. The findings of breathalyzer testing, police records, witness testimony, or the results of any other type of chemical testing undertaken are examples of this type of evidence.

Defective products

People who have suffered TBIs due to a defective product can often present proof of the product's defective design, manufacture, or marketing to back up their claim. Expert testimony, deviations from industry norms, or conclusions of independent investigations undertaken by bodies such as the CDC are examples of this type of evidence.

To Conclude:

Individuals who have suffered a traumatic brain injury due to someone else's negligence should speak with an attorney without making any delays. TBI victims can often receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, loss of quality of life, etc.

Traumatic brain injury lawyer Texas assists people who got injured due to someone else's negligence in holding the person or people responsible for their negligent acts that caused suffering and damages.

Houston Personal Injury Lawyer - Charles J. Argento & Associates

At Charles J. Argento, our Houston car accident attorney knows that there are multiple definitions for the word “accident.”

According to Dictionary.com, they include:

An undesirable or unfortunate happening that occurs unintentionally and usually results in harm, injury, damage, or loss; casualty; mishap.

Any event that happens unexpectedly, without a deliberate plan or cause. A happening resulting in injury that is in no way the fault of the injured person for which compensation or indemnity is legally sought. Although the word accident is used interchangeably and in different capacities, when it comes to personal injuries and wrongful deaths that occur during Texas vehicle collisions, most occur during preventable circumstances. This means they were not accidents at all.

Whether an accident is considered preventable affects how our attorneys pursue Personal Injury Attorneys Houston cases. The next step is proving fault.

Defense Base Act (DBA) Coverage For Foreign Contractors

The Defense Base Act (DBA) extends the federal workers’ compensation program that covers longshoremen and harbor workers, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act 33 U.S.C. 901–950, to persons employed overseas. Any civilian contractor who performs work on any overseas military or other government facility is covered by the DBA. This includes the contractors’ employees, whether they are third country nationals hired from another nation to work abroad or local nationals working on a contract for the United States government. It also includes the contractors’ subcontractors and anyone else paid by the contractor under a DBA-covered contract.

DBA insurance typically does not have deductibles like workers’ compensation insurance. This makes DBA policies particularly appealing to employers and contractors who need the coverage to help protect their workers while they are in countries around the world where injuries can be very serious.

When a person is injured on a DBA-covered project, the injury must be deemed to be “schedule.” A scheduled injury means that the injury is expected to result in permanent loss of use of one or more body parts. Scheduled injuries include losses of limbs, hearing loss and certain brain damage. The injured worker is then entitled to receive two-thirds of their average weekly earnings, up to a maximum set each year by the Department of Labor. Death benefits are also available for eligible survivors.

The Defense Base Act Attorney | Barnes Law Firm | DBA Lawyer Houston Texas can review your situation and explain all of your rights under the law. We can also make sure that your employer or insurance company complies with all legal requirements and does not take any unnecessary steps that may negatively impact your case.

DBA lawyers on this Website are experienced with negotiating with the insurance companies and can quickly get the medical treatment you need. If your employer or insurance company does not provide proper care, this is a crime and can result in fines for the corporation and imprisonment for corporate officers.

Our firm has a long history of helping individuals and families injured by the negligence of others. Our attorneys have successfully handled all types of cases, including those involving personal injuries, workplace accidents, wrongful deaths and construction site accidents. We understand the complex nature of these cases and are well-versed in a wide range of legal issues including the Defense Base Act, which applies to foreign contractors.

Alan Garfinkel and his father John Schwartz were Defense Base Act lawyers and longshoremen’s attorneys for more than 50 years, representing clients worldwide. Our firm is now led by Brian Wiklendt, who has over 20 years of experience. He is an expert in navigating the complexities of DBA and Longshore Act claims, and has helped thousands of clients recover damages.
