QUESTION
What can I charge a sandwich shop if I found a sharp plastic in my sandwich?
Asked on Oct 22nd, 2012 on Personal Injury - Montana
More details to this question:
I tried to tell the manager about this and she was rude. I've tried contacting the owner with no response to the matter. I can no longer visit any sandwich shop without fearing that it might be a risk due to the incident. The manager at the shop was very inattentive when she was making the sandwich.

You can get your money back for the tainted sandwich. If you didn't eat the plastic, then there is little likelihood you will get anything else.

Usually these cases are not worth much more that a refund of the cost of the sandwich.

You technically have a case, but what is it worth? Were you injured? Did your mouth bleed? Did you seek medical attention? If not, then you really have no damages. While you may have an emotional fear or now exercise extreme caution when you eat sandwich shop food, what is that worth? I doubt you could find an attorney to take your case on contingency. You can sue in small claims court, but the judge will likely feel the same way. It should have warranted a free meal and a sincere apology. You are probably more angry with the ridiculous manner in which they handled this. Write a bad review on their website if they have one. But you probably should not pursue it further.

Not a good case unless you actually suffered a physical injury.

If you didn't bite into the sandwich and be injured by the foreign object, then what are your damages? They don't owe you anything if you didn't suffer any damages

What are your actual damages? I suspect they owe you a replacement sandwich, and have suffered the loss of your business.

If you were not injured, it is unlikely that they will pay you any money.

You can sue for the full value of the sandwich, breach of contract or breach of warranty who is going to pay court costs and attorney fees.

Not much because not much can be done. You understandably feel disrespected but come on. It's not that big of a deal. Eating e-coli and dying or being in the hospital for a month is a big deal. Boycott the store. If it is a chain store, you can waste more energy and time writing an email complaining but why bother? The market place will eventually judge and punish this business.
