The 42-year-old True Tori star filed a lawsuit against the Japanese chain in Encino, CA, TMZ reported.
During an Easter Sunday brunch with her family at Benihana on April 5, Spelling accidentally tripped and fell backwards onto a piping hot hibachi grill. Her burns were so bad, she had to get skin grafts.
When Spelling's husband Dean McDermott was asked in April whether his wife planned to take legal action against the restaurant, he said, "I don't know... but it was unfortunate."
In May, McDermott, 48, told Extra that Spelling was "recovering" and "doing pretty good." She was at home resting at the time.

The second season of Spelling and McDermott's reality series True Tori wrapped in December of last year on Lifetime.
The show chronicled how the couple had attempted to put the pieces of their marriage back together after McDermott allegedly had an affair with another woman and entered rehab shortly afterwards to seek treatment for a variety of issues.
