Key Takeaway
A couple has filed a lawsuit against Craig’s restaurant after being robbed at gunpoint at the valet area, alleging negligence and lack of concern for their well-being in the aftermath of the incident.
Allegations and Incident Details
Felipe and Terry assert that they were waiting in the valet area after dining at Craig’s when three armed individuals emerged from a car and proceeded to rob them. The surveillance video of the incident depicts the suspects forcibly taking Felipe’s Rolex and necklace, while the couple feared for their lives during the harrowing ordeal. They further claim that the restaurant’s lone security guard was preoccupied with photographing other guests, failing to notice the suspicious individuals who later carried out the robbery.
The couple’s lawsuit contends that the robbery at Craig’s followed similar incidents at other prominent restaurants in the West Hollywood area during the previous summer. Felipe and Terry argue that Craig’s should have implemented enhanced security measures in response to these prior events, emphasizing the need for improved safety protocols.
Legal Action and Accountability
Having allegedly received no response from Craig Susser regarding a meeting to address the robbery, Felipe and Terry have taken legal action against the restaurant, seeking accountability for what they perceive as negligence on the part of Craig’s. The couple aims to hold the establishment responsible for the lack of adequate security measures and the purported disregard for their well-being following the traumatic experience.
