Today I am attending and networking at a large regional event for risk managers. FIRMA is very much attuned to risk revolving around food preparation and vending -- biohazards, food born illness, slips and trips, workman's compensation issues, etc. I will be meeting up with my friend David Natalizia and talking about ways to get the attention of this industry to the problem of storefront crashes. You can see David's blog at Risk Confidence
The restaurant industry is a frequent victim of storefront crashes. We estimate that as many as 12 times per day, a vehicle crashes into a restaurant, coffee/donut store, or dining area in the United States. Accident rates and injury rates for workers and customers in such accidents are difficult to quantify, but a quick run through of inquiries received from law firms in the last 12 months show that there are dozens of lawsuits filed or pending against national and regional restaurants and stores as a result of vehicle-into-building crashes.
So I will talk to some of the risk managers, some insurance people, and just about anybody who will listen. Look for a follow-up post on what I hear and see in the next few days.
