Wienerschnitzel is a chain of fast food restaurants that specialize in hot dogs, in spite of their name. In fact, Wiener schnitzel was only sold once as a promotional gimmick. It seems to have worked, as the company currently has over 370 locations, mostly in California and Texas.
The chain is notable for a number of reasons, including the quaint and cozy appearance of their A-frame restaurants. However, an attractive exterior can hide a multitude of dangerous conditions inside the restaurant. When there is negligence by the owner or their employees, the following accidents are likely to happen on the premise of a Wienerschnitzel restaurant:
- Slip and fall
- Trip and fall
- Falling objects
- Broken chair injuries
- Food poisoning
- Choking / foreign object in food
- Assault and battery
- Sexual assault
- Accidents in the parking lot

Can I Sue Wienerschnitzel for an Accident at One of Their Restaurants?
Your right to file a lawsuit against the restaurant is based on two legal concepts: negligence and premises liability. Negligence has to do with the failure to exercise reasonable care, like not driving a car while you’re intoxicated. As for a business, they are required to maintain their premises and keep it in a reasonably safe condition. Thus, if you were injured from a dangerous condition, like a puddle of water on the floor, you have the right to seek monetary compensation from the store owner.
Some cases of liability by a restaurant are more complicated, like incidents of sexual assault and assault and battery. Clearly, there is a perpetrator here, and you would assume that this is the party you can sue. However, you may also have a case against the owner of the property where you were assaulted. For example, vagrants often take advantage of inadequate security measures to attack people in the parking lot or other dark and secluded areas. Alternatively, your attacker may be an employee at the restaurant. Under the principle of vicarious liability, an employer may be responsible if negligence or misconduct by their employee causes injury to another party.
At the end of the day, liability for an accident is a complex issue that you will need to discuss with a knowledgeable attorney. Our law firm is ready to help, so contact us to schedule a free case evaluation.
Average Case Value of a Wienerschnitzel Restaurant Accident Claim
First, it’s important to note that each accident claim has unique factors, which will determine what the victim is entitled to from the negligent party. As a result, we can’t say for sure what the average settlement amount would be for someone who was injured at a Wienerschnitzel restaurant. For minor injuries, settlements usually range from $10,000 to $45,000, while claims with more serious injuries may be worth $150,000 to $500,000. For claims with severe injuries, settlements will likely exceed $1,000,000. We see this often with cases of brain damage, paraplegia, and other lifelong health conditions that impact many areas of a victim’s life.
How Long Does it Take for a Case to Settle?
The timeline to settle an accident injury case can vary from just a few weeks to over 2 years. We find that the majority of these claims take at least 6 months, though cases with severe injuries can sometimes take up to several years. Most people ask about the possibility of their case going to trial, but over 95% of all personal injury lawsuits are settled out of court. However, it can still take over a year to reach a settlement with the insurance company, depending on many factors that are specific to your accident.
Is There a Time Limit to File a Lawsuit?
Yes, there is a 2-year statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits in California. As a general rule, you have two years starting from the accident date to file a claim for monetary damages. There is an exception for claims involving sexual assault, which has a much longer statute of limitations. Adults have 10 years from the incident to file a lawsuit, while minors have up until the age of 40, or 22 years from the time they turn 18. Please note that if you are past the deadline to file a claim, the court will most likely ban you from taking legal action against the responsible party.
