Sue restaurant?

More details to this question:
Family and I came here for dinner. We ordered drinks and our food. We weren’t even there for 10 minutes, when the waiter comes by our table with hot spicy crawfish and it falls not only on me but on my 6 month old baby! Nobody ever came to apologize or check to see if we were okay. The manager was off hiding in the back like a coward! Everyone in there saw what happened. It took a lot to hold my composure in order to wipe my son clean from the crawfish mess! My son was asleep when all this hot crawfish landed on his legs and on my back!

It sounds like a terrible experience, and you may feel better if you complain to local consumer groups or the better business bureau, leave a bad online review, or something similar, but I would not recommend suing.  You have not mentioned any damages suffered by you or your family - medical bills, etc.  I assume that you had some minor damages for laundry bills or replacing the clothes, and you may want to bring a small claims suit for those, but unless you have suffered significant monetary damages, I don't know if you want to spend your time and money (if you have to engage a lawyer, which you probably wouldn't need in small claims court but might need in a court of general jurisdiction) litigating a suit.
