Togo’s is a restaurant chain specializing in cold and hot sandwiches, along with soups, salads, and other complimentary dishes. Headquartered in San Jose, California, the company has over 150 franchise locations throughout the U.S. However, around 95% of all their restaurants are located within California. Many locations are paired with a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop, which makes it an ideal stopping point for families, or anyone that wants a fast, but freshly made sandwich.
Sandwich shops are especially prone to slip and fall accidents, as they use a lot of ingredients (oil, condiments, vinegar, etc.) that can end up on the floor and cause someone to slip. Our law firm is ready to connect you with a Togo’s restaurant slip and fall lawyer, who will fight for the compensation you deserve. But we can also help you with a personal injury claim for any type of accident, including
- Trip and fall
- Hit by falling objects
- Injured in a restaurant bathroom
- Parking lot accidents
- Assault and battery
- Sexual assault
- Workplace accident

Can I Sue Togo’s for an Injury that Occurred on Their Property?
If a hazardous condition on the premises of a Togo’s restaurant resulted in you being injured, you may have the right to seek compensation for the losses you’ve suffered. Basically, you would have to show that the restaurant owed you a duty of care as someone that had a right to be on the property. Then, you must establish that the restaurant failed to take reasonable measures that would have prevented your accident. You may also have a case if careless or reckless behavior by an employee caused you harm and suffering.
There are countless ways that a business can show negligence towards their guests and visitors. Not cleaning up spills, failing to remove ice from the sidewalks, not installing security cameras, (or fixing broken cameras) are just a few examples of how a restaurant can fail in their duty of care. The most important thing is to establish a clear link between an act of negligence and the incident that led to your injuries.
Proving these elements on your own will be very difficult, as the restaurant will act quickly to clean up the accident scene and minimize their responsibility for your injuries. Our lawyers know exactly how to overcome these obstacles and bring you the settlement you are entitled to.
Injuries from an Accident at Togo’s Restaurant
The physical and mental injuries you’ve sustained from your accident will determine the types of compensation you can receive from a restaurant accident injury claim. For an injury at Togo’s restaurant, you may have the right to sue for medical expenses, value of lost wages and work benefits, pain and suffering, and other types of compensation. Compensable injuries from an accident at a restaurant include, but are not limited to:
- Injuries to the head – concussion, skull fracture, brain damage
- Facial injuries – broken nose, damage to the eyes, permanent scars
- Deep lacerations and associated infections
- Burn accidents
- Joint dislocation
- Fractures and broken bones
- Damage to the internal organs
- Soft tissue injuries
- Back and neck injuries – whiplash, spinal cord damage, etc.
- Loss of bodily functions
- Emotional injuries – anxiety, hypervigilance, depression, insomnia, panic attacks, etc.
What is the Average Payout for an Injury Claim against Togo’s Restaurant?
Most clients ask us for an average settlement amount for their type of claim, but frankly, there’s no easy way to answer this question. On the lower end, personal injury cases against restaurants may be worth around $15,000 to $30,000. But if there are serious injuries involved, especially ones that cause disability and other permanent health issues, a fair settlement may be anywhere from $500,000 to several million dollars. The best thing to do is contact our office and meet with a lawyer that can help you figure out the value of your own case.
Is There a Deadline if I want to File a Lawsuit?
Yes, there is a statute of limitations for all injury claims that are filed in California. This period is typically 2 years from the date of injury, though exceptions can be made in rare cases. However, the courts are very strict about the deadline for a lawsuit. Even if you have irrefutable evidence of the restaurant’s negligence, you will most likely lose the right to sue if you exceed the statute of limitations set by the court. To prevent this unfortunate outcome, we recommend that you contact us right away if you’ve had an accident at a Togo’s location.
How Long is the Estimated Time to get Paid on these Cases?
It’s impossible to estimate a time range ahead of time for each individual claim, or for these cases as a whole. There is a tendency to think that higher value claims will take longer to settle, and this is true for many of our clients. But as a general rule, you can expect the claims process to take anywhere between a few weeks and 2 or more years. We always strive to recover all settlements within 6 months, but a variety of complications may necessitate the need for a lawsuit, which will lengthen the amount of time it will take to resolve your case. For a detailed explanation on all the factors that can impact your case timeline, don’t hesitate to call us.
Claims Involving Workplace Injuries
Restaurants are one of the most common settings for a workplace injury, such as muscle strains, deep cuts, burns, and slip and falls. As a Togo’s employee that’s been hurt on the job, you are entitled to monetary benefits under the state’s workers’ compensation laws. But the process of accessing these funds may not be as easy as you expected. In many cases, workers find themselves with denied claims or restricted treatment options that are not adequate for the level of harm they’ve suffered. A workers’ compensation lawyer at our office can represent your interests and ensure that you receive the protections you are guaranteed by law.
Can I Change Lawyers if I’m not Happy with my Law Firm?
Yes, you can change lawyers during a legal case at any point, which may be the best option if your case is not getting the attention it deserves from your attorney. Many people are unhappy with the lack of progress by their law firm, or disagree with the approach that’s recommended by their lawyers. Others are ignored for days or weeks at a time, due to their lawyer’s inability to manage their case load. Regardless of what the problem is, we can help you with a free second opinion consultation. This is your opportunity to discuss what’s been going on in your case and learn about the actions you can take towards a successful outcome. The only thing you need to do is contact us and schedule a free second opinion
