Dog Haus is a chain of premium hot dog and hamburger restaurants founded in 2010 by Hagop Giragossian, Quasim Riaz and Andre Vener. The first location opened in Pasadena, California, and people were drawn to the casual atmosphere, extensive beer selection, and hand-crafted burgers and dogs made from the highest quality Black Angus beef.
As a restaurant becomes a well-known entity with many locations, there is a greater risk of safety standards falling through the cracks. When that happens, there may be accidents on the property, such as:
- Slip and fall or trip and fall incidents
- Accidents with falling objects
- Burn injuries from hot food and plates
- Foreign object in food / choking incidents
- Food poisoning cases
- Accidents in restaurant bathrooms
- Parking lot incidents, including fall accidents, assault and battery, and sexual assault
I was Injured at a Dog Haus Restaurant – Can I Sue?
When you are injured on someone else’s property, your right to sue is based on the law of premises liability. Owning a property, whether it’s a home or business, comes with certain obligations. These include a duty of care to those that are on the premises, meaning you have taken reasonable measures to protect them from accidents like slip and falls, falling objects, and assaults on the property.
The duty of care is much higher when you own a commercial property compared to a house or another type of residential property. This is because premises that are used for business reasons are more prone to accidents, due to the number of people that are in and out of the property. Thus, restaurant owners and staff must keep an eye out for unsafe conditions that have the potential to cause an accident. If they fail to take care of these issues and someone ends up with an injury, they can be held liable for the accident
A business owner’s responsibly to their guests includes adequate security and accidents caused by their employees. This is important at Dog Haus and other restaurant locations, where someone may be injured by drink or food spills or unsafe food handling practices. As for lack of security, this is essential to preventing assault and battery incidents, including sexual assault. Cameras should be placed throughout the property, along with proper screening of employees to ensure that customers are protected from anyone with a history of violence or inappropriate conduct.
These are not the only examples of liability for an accident at a restaurant. That’s why you shouldn’t hesitate to contact us and learn about your legal options from a Dog Haus injury accident attorney.

What is the Deadline to File a Dog Haus Accident Injury Claim?
Premises liability lawsuits for negligence by a business owner must be filed no later than 2 two years from the accident date. If you wait too long, you can end up exceeding the deadline to file your claim. When this happens, you will most likely lose any right to monetary compensation, even if it’s obvious that negligence by the restaurant caused you harm and suffering. By contacting our law firm, you can protect your right to a lawsuit and maximize your chance of reaching a settlement as soon as possible.
Average Case Value of a Restaurant Accident Case
We hesitate to apply the word “average” to injury settlements as a whole, considering there are many factors that are unique to each and every accident. The degree of injury will certainly impact the total amount you can ask for, as well as the restaurant’s role in causing your accident. Due to the issues that must be examined, it’s best to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer if you’d like to learn the approximate value of your accident claim. If we were pressed to come up with a range of values, injuries at restaurant claims usually settle for anywhere from $15,000 to $2,500,000 or more. This is based on a variety of economic and non-economic damages, such as:
- Cost of medical treatments (including future care costs)
- Value of lost wages while you’re in recovery
- Future lost wages if you lose the ability to work altogether
- Property damage if your belongings were damaged / lost in the accident
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Punitive damages
- Lawyer’s fees and court costs
Reaching a Settlement – How Long Does it Take?
Settlement offers usually come quickly from a restaurant’s insurance company once you file an accident claim. But these amounts are rarely adequate based on the monetary damages you are entitled to by law. Your lawyer’s job is to fight for all the payments you deserve, and this process usually takes at least several months. On average, it takes 6 to 12 months to reach a settlement for a personal injury lawsuit, though more time will be needed if your claim progresses to a lawsuit. In that case, there is a chance that your lawsuit will go to trial, though it’s worth noting that only a small fraction of cases are tried in court.
