Marco’s Pizza began as a small store founded by Italian immigrant Pasquale Giammarco in 1978. The restaurant became well-known for their signature pizza dough and sauce, which is still used today along with a three-cheese blend. It took until the early 2000s for the business to expand into the massive corporation it is today, and currently there are approximately 1,000 Marco’s Pizza locations throughout the U.S., Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and India.
Many people are drawn to Marco’s because of their famous pizza, especially after the company was featured on a 2016 episode of the hit reality show,

Do I Have the Right to Sue Marco’s Pizza?
If you sustained injuries on the premises of a Marco’s Pizza location, you may be entitled to monetary compensation from the store, which you can obtain by filing an accident claim. However, it’s important to have an understanding of the laws that will allow you to sue the store.
Essentially, owners of both commercial and residential properties have a duty of care to ensure the safety of those that are on their property. This is based on two legal concepts: premises liability and vicarious liability. Premises liability generally has to do with taking care of dangerous conditions on the property, like keeping the floors free of substances that can cause someone to slip and fall down. If the restaurant fails to resolve this issue and you fall down as a result of their negligence, you can seek compensation with help from a Marco’s Pizza slip and fall lawyer.
Now, let’s talk about how Marco’s Pizza can be liable for the actions of their employees. If a staff member caused injury to a customer, like burning them or inflicting harm during a physical altercation, the customer can file a lawsuit against their attacker. However, they may also have the right to seek compensation from Marco’s Pizza under the principle of vicarious liability.
As you can see, there is a lot to consider when you are in need of restitution for an accident on someone else’s property. Don’t worry, since our attorneys are here to guide you every step of the way if you have been injured from one of these accidents:
- Slip and fall
- Trip and fall
- Burn accidents (from hot food, trays, etc.)
- Restaurant bathroom injuries
- Accident in the parking lot
- Falling object injuries
- Assault and battery
- Sexual assault
Filing a Workplace Injury Claim
If you had an accident as a worker at Marco’s Pizza, you can receive monetary benefits by filing a worker’s compensation claim. To get started, you must notify your employer within 30 days of the accident. At that point, your employer will notify their insurance company and provide you with instructions for how to proceed with your claim. For example, you will need to see a doctor of your employer’s choosing, who will verify the injuries you’ve sustained and the course of treatment that’s needed. You must also fill out the forms that are required by the insurance company that manages your company’s workplace accident payments.
Filling out the claim forms should be a straightforward process, but this is not always the case, especially if you are not fluent in English. We have bilingual attorneys that can speak many languages, including Spanish, Korean, Persian, Russian, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), and Amharic. We can assist you with every aspect of your case and fight for the benefits you deserve if your claim is rejected by the insurance provider.

Average Case Value of a Marco’s Pizza Injury Claim
There is no specific amount that can be described as average when it comes to settlements for an accident victim. The total amount you can receive is based on the specific injuries you have suffered and the impact those injuries will have on your finances, as well as your physical and mental health. Payments can start at around $15,000 on the lower end if you have minor injuries. If, on the other hand, you have severe injuries with permanent complications, your settlement from an injury claim against Marco’s Pizza may be around $500,000 to $2,000,000 and above.
Timeline to Settle a Restaurant Injury Claim
It’s impossible to predict how long it will take to settle your case, considering the number of complications that can come up during the legal process. The majority of claims against restaurants generally take around 6 to 10 months to settle, as long as the insurance company is willing to work towards a favorable settlement. If a lawsuit is necessary, securing the damages you are owed can take 2 years or longer. We can provide more information on this topic during a free consultation, so please give us a call at your earliest convenience.
Statute of Limitations – How Long Do I have to File a Lawsuit?
Filing your lawsuit on time is crucial to receiving compensation as an injury victim. The time limit for a personal injury case in California is 2 years, unless you have special circumstances that will allow for an extension. However, it’s very difficult to obtain additional time for a lawsuit, which must be granted by the court. That’s why we implore you to contact us right away, so that one of our attorneys can take immediate action on your case.
Keep in mind that you will have less time to seek compensation if you are an injured worker. A workplace injury must be reported to your employer within 30 days of the accident. In addition, you must file a claim within one year of the incident to be approved for workers’ compensation benefits.
Schedule a Free Second Opinion
Without a doubt, waiting to receive your settlement check can be a long and frustrating process. That’s why it’s important to have a lawyer by your side who is dedicated to your case. Are you experiencing doubts about your attorney’s ability to win your case? Do you feel like you’re being cheated out of the time and attention you deserve? If so, please consider a free second opinion, where you can receive guidance on how to get your case on the right track.
