Italian cuisine offers something for just about everyone, and that’s certainly true at Romano’s Macaroni Grill – a casual dining restaurant chain similar to the Olive Garden. The restaurant, which offers items that are influenced by traditional Italian and Mediterranean dishes, was founded in 1988 by Philip J. Romano. While the company is headquartered in Denver, there are Macaroni Grill locations throughout the United States, including 11 restaurants in California.
While people enjoy the hearty food and warm atmosphere at the Macaroni Grill, there may be hazards on the property that can lead to an injury. Failure to clean the floors, for example, may cause someone to be injured from a slip and fall or trip and fall accident. Not fixing things securely on the walls can lead to someone being harmed from a falling object. If you’ve been injured from a dangerous condition while you were at Romano’s Macaroni Grill, contact our law firm immediately. Based on the circumstances, you may be eligible for a lawsuit against the restaurant, which we can discuss with you during a free consultation.

Do I have the Right to Sue the Restaurant?
Lawsuits involving injuries on someone else’s property must be based on the law of premises liability, which holds owner responsible for dangerous conditions that can cause injury to others. Thus, if you had an accident while you were at a Macaroni Grill location, you may be entitled to monetary damages, such as medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Below are the most common accidents that can happen on the premises of a restaurant.
- Slip and fall
- Trip and fall
- Broken chair / broken table accident
- Burn injuries from hot plates, food, drinks, etc.
- Injuries from a falling object
- Parking lot accidents
- Assault and battery – excessive force by employees, sexual assault, muggings, etc.
To succeed in a lawsuit, you must establish that the restaurant owed you a duty of care as someone that had a valid reason to be on the property. While you were on the premises, you were injured from a dangerous condition, like water on the floor or a server spilling hot coffee on you. Due to the restaurant’s negligence, you suffered monetary losses, which entitles you to seek compensation from the business owner. This is a basic explanation of the state’s liability laws, but there are many other aspects of the legal process that you will surely have questions about.

Worker’s Compensation for Romano’s Macaroni Grill Employees
All the accidents we mentioned in the previous section can happen to employees at a restaurant, as well as the customers. In fact, cases of workplace injury are exceptionally common at places that serve food and drinks. That’s why it’s essential to notify your employer right away if you’ve had an injury. By law, your employer must provide you with instructions and paperwork for a workers’ compensation claim, which is a benefit that’s paid through the state. However, each employer is required to obtain workers’ comp insurance through a private insurer, so that’s the company you will need to work with in order to process your payments.
Obtaining workers’ compensation benefits seems like a simple process in theory, but you may find that your claim is denied without legal justification. You may also disagree with your employer on important issues, like the severity of your injuries and how long you need to be out of work. We can represent you in a workplace injury claim and ensure that you receive the full payment you deserve by law. For a free consultation with a California labor law attorney, contact our office.
Average Value of a Restaurant Injury Accident Case
Payments from an injury claim against a restaurant vary greatly from case to case, and at the end of the day, it’s impossible to say how much the average person receives from a successful lawsuit. Here at Normandie Law Firm, the majority of our clients end up with around $150,000 to $3 million and above, but this is based on many different factors, including:
- The extent of the injury
- Liability by the restaurant (and their willingness to admit it)
- If we can negotiate directly with the insurance company
- Whether you have an attorney or you are representing yourself
Legal representation is crucial to receiving maximum payment if you’ve suffered injuries from an accident at Romano’s Macaroni Grill. You can be sure that Macaroni Grill and their insurance company won’t make things easy for you, and it’s likely that you’ll be spammed with calls until you give in and accept the settlement they offer. More than likely, you’ll end up with far less than what you are entitled to. Our attorneys, on the other hand, have what it takes to bring you every penny you deserve from a restaurant accident injury claim.
How Long it Takes to Reach a Settlement
We know how anxious you must be to obtain payment from the company and move forward from this painful incident in your life. It’s always our goal to negotiate all settlements in a timely manner, but we also need to protect your interests. That means doing all that we can to fight for a compensation amount that reflects the losses you’ve suffered. Generally, negotiating a settlement can take around 6 to 10 months from start to finish. But the process can take longer, especially if you have serious injuries like hip fracture, nerve damage, and traumatic brain injury. Two or more years may be needed to settle these cases and ensure that you receive a fair payment amount from the owners of the restaurant.
Statute of Limitations – Deadline to File a Lawsuit
It’s essential to speak to an attorney right away and initiate the claims process if you’ve been harmed at a Romano’s Macaroni Grill restaurant. Under California law, you only have two years from the incident date to file a lawsuit, and that’s not a lot of time considering the prep work that goes into a personal injury case. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that you’ll miss the 2-year deadline to seek monetary damages from an accident claim against the restaurant. We are ready to take immediate action on your behalf, so give us a call as soon as possible.
Free Second Opinion
We believe in free legal services for anyone that’s been injured due to someone else’s negligence. That includes claimants that already have an injury claim or lawsuit against Romano’s Macaroni Grill. Many of these people are unhappy with the lawyer that’s currently representing them. Usually, it’s due to concerns about their lawyer’s lack of time and commitment to their case, but regardless of the issue, we are happy to offer you a free second opinion consultation. Now is your time to take advantage of a free consultation with a restaurant accident lawsuit attorney at our office. Contact us and schedule a free second opinion on your existing claim for a slip and fall, burn injury, or any other type of accident at a restaurant.
