Ameci Pizza & Pasta has a long tradition that goes all the way back to 1931, when the parents and grandparents of Nick Andrisano opened a restaurant in New York City. Inspired by their recipes, Andrisano opened 2 restaurants in Los Angeles, which were called Ameci Italian Cuisine. Though the name has changed and there are many more Ameci’s locations throughout California, the business is still recognized for their fresh and delicious food.
As a business grows and expands, it can be easy to lose sight of basic elements, like upkeep and maintenance of the property. At a restaurant, this is done through countless actions, like inspecting the premises, making repairs, replacing worn items, and putting up warning signs. If the owner or workers at the business are lax in their duty of care to guests and visitors, the following accidents are likely to happen:
- Slip and fall
- Trip and fall
- Burned by hot food, drinks, trays, etc.
- Assault and battery
- Falling object injury
- Incidents in the parking lot
If an accident at Ameci Pizza & Pasta caused you bodily harm, you may be entitled to compensation from a lawsuit against the restaurant. If you’re interested in learning about your legal rights, contact us right away to schedule a free consultation.

Can I Sue the Restaurant for an Accident on Their Property?
You have the right to sue the restaurant if there was a dangerous condition on the property that caused you to be injured. Under the law of premises liability, safeguarding others from injury is a legal obligation for owners of residential and commercial properties. Thus, the owners of Ameci Pizza & Pasta have a duty to keep their premises free of hazards. This includes cleaning, repairs, replacing defective equipment, installing security measures, and many other actions. If the restaurant fails to take such reasonable measures, they are liable (legally responsible) if someone is harmed from their lack of maintenance and/or foresight.
Actions by employees may be blamed on the owner as well, based on the concept of vicarious liability. Essentially, the owner is not directly responsible for the accident, but they are still liable for negligence and misconduct by their employees. For example, if an employee is careless about packing an order or handing it over to a customer, that can lead to a burn injury for the customer. Though the business owner is not the perpetrator of the injury, they can still be sued for monetary damages by the victim.
This is a general overview of premises liability and how it applies to your legal rights if you got hurt at a restaurant. For more information on your right to a lawsuit against Ameci Pizza & Pasta, contact us today.
Accidents in the Workplace
Workers in the hospitality industry are prone to accidents in the workplace, such as slip and falls, deep lacerations, soft tissue injuries, and first – third degree burns. A claim for workplace injury works quite differently than a personal injury case. As an employee of Ameci Pizza & Pasta, you do not have to prove that anyone is liable your accident. Instead, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits as long as the injury occurred while you were at work.
Your employer will provide you with instructions on how to file a claim with their insurance company, so speak to your supervisor immediately if you’ve been injured during your shift. Should you have any questions or concerns, or there are disputes with the insurance company, call us to speak with a workplace injury accident attorney.
Settlement Value of an Injury Claim against Ameci Pizza & Pasta
We consider a great number of factors in order to determine the value of a client’s case. As a general rule, the extent of your injuries and how they’ve affected your life will play the biggest role in determining your settlement value. If we had to come up with an average range of values, $150,000 to $2,500,000 is a good set of numbers of keep in mind. But if you have minor injuries with minimal long-term complications, the value of your case will fall below this range. For a more accurate assessment of how much you can receive from a lawsuit, contact us for a free case review.
How Long will it Take to Receive my Payment?
Our goal is to provide you with a resolution to your case within 6 months, but there are many issues that can hold up the legal process. For one thing, initial settlement offers from insurance companies are very low, and as a result, it can take at least several months to negotiate a favorable payment amount. In all likelihood, around 6 to 12 months will be needed for cases involving moderate to serious injuries. If further actions are required, i.e., filing a lawsuit and preparing for a trial, it will probably take 2 or more years to settle your case.
Is There a Time Limit to File a Lawsuit against the Restaurant?
Yes, there is a strict deadline for all personal injury lawsuits in California. Thus, if you are seeking compensation from Ameci Pizza & Pasta, you will need to file a claim within two years from the date of injury. Claims on behalf of injured workers (workers’ compensation claims) must be filed within one year. Furthermore, your employer must be notified of the accident within 30 days.
With both of these claims, please note that the statute of limitations is a deadline that’s imposed by the court. Extensions beyond the one or two-year deadline are extremely rare, so it’s in your best interest to contact us and file an injury claim as soon as possible.
