You cannot sue unless you had permanent injuries or scars. It does not seem like you had any real injuries so you will not be able to sue.

Will be a year and a half or so in court. Attorney fees will be about $15000. Who will pay those? Are you serious about suing on account of such a small matter?? Surely they apologized. Surely they didn't charge you for the meal did they?

Yes. If you suffered burns from the hot food dropped by the waitress, you should be compensated for your medical bills and pain and suffering.

While you could sue, you received very minor injuries and it is unlikely you would find an attorney to take your case. Best you can do is get a couple of free dinners.

Yes, you may. First you should consult with a plaintiff's accident attorney for specific legal advice and direction.

You will need pictures of the burn and medical records. Probably not a lawsuit kind of case. Write a letter to the restaurant and ask them for the name of their insurance company. If they won't give you the name, take them to small claims court. Get the forms at the courthouse.

Not enough of an injury to make an issue out of it.
