QUESTION
Do I have a case if I found a piece of tile in some chili cheese fries I ate from Carl’s Jr?
Asked on Sep 22nd, 2012 on Personal Injury - Michigan
More details to this question:
The dentist told me my teeth are ok but I am now scared to eat out at Carl’s Jr let alone anywhere else. I also still have the tile I found in my food. Is my case good enough to sue and win?

Win what? What is your damage? To win big bucks you have to show real damage. You don't have any.

WHAT are your damages? You're scared? Not good enough. You MIGHT get a FREE COUPON to eat at Carl's.

Since your teeth are fine, you have a very small claim.

OMG.That is the biggest case I ever heard of.Worth quadrillions of dollars!!! Just don't spend the money yet. Did it kill you Are you paralyzed did your mouth fall out NO, Well, then it isn't worth much.The value of a case is based upon several things: 1) did somebody who owes you a duty, do something wrong? and 2) did it cause you some measurable harm? If the answer to either of those questions is "no," then you ain't gonna get anything.The value of the case is based on the strength of the claim for liability and the value of your injuries.It does not sound like your case is worth very much.Don't spend the money yet.

You might be able to sue and win, but it will probably be a small amount.

If you can't show injuries and damages from the injuries, you do not have a good case.

No. Proving your case will be difficult and even if successful it's my opinion it will not be financially feasible.

I suspect that Carl's super double with pulled pork will help you get over your chili cheese fry PTSD. No one can resist it. Am I right What do you think a judge or jury would award you for your almost had an injury not much is the answer.You should have gotten your money back at the time.

What are your damages? I'd bring the tile back to Carl's Jr and they'll probably give you a $25 to a $50 gift certificate. If you didn't damage your dentition, then it's "no harm, no foul" and you have no damages (unless you paid for a dental check-up and the dentist's bill would be your damages).

You could sue, but it's not a good case. Your damages are minimal at best since you were not physically injured.

If you didn't suffer any real injury, other than the emotional distress now associated with eating Carl's Jr. food, the existence of foreign substance in your food provides a legal basis to sue, but given the absence of physical injury not sure it is worth pursuing.

I, based on the facts, do not believe you have a good case. I would not take it, as you have not detailed sufficient damages. Take the dental bill to the restaurant and ask them to pay it, and for a replacement bowl of chili.
