If you can directly prove the food poisoning came from Red Lobster, i.e. some particular type of food poisoning like salmonella or e. coli that likely came from a particular food or a particular restaurant, you may be able to get Red Lobster to pay. Sometimes the threat of a lawsuit from an attorney letter can cause the offending party to offer a reasonable settlement, not a gift card.
