Foreign Object in Restaurant Food
Insurance Payment
Jimenez Legal Collection
$35,000 Recovery for Restaurant Food Injury
The Problem
Our client was a regular at a popular local chain restaurant. During one visit, while eating a hotdog, he unexpectedly bit down on a hard object that had been cooked into the food. The impact cracked and damaged his tooth, leading to significant dental bills, pain, and discomfort.
The restaurant offered only minimal compensation, barely covering out-of-pocket dental expenses and failing to address pain and suffering or future care needs.
Our Approach
Jimenez Legal was retained to pursue full compensation. Our attorneys:
- Conducted a detailed investigation into the incident and preserved the object found in the food
- Gathered dental records, x-rays, and expert documentation of the damage caused
- Presented a comprehensive demand to the restaurant’s insurer, showing liability and the full impact of the injury
- Negotiated aggressively to avoid unnecessary litigation while still maximizing the client’s recovery
The Result
Our firm secured a $35,000 settlement for the client without prolonged litigation. This amount covered all dental expenses, pain and suffering, and ensured the client was made whole after the traumatic experience.
Key Takeaway
Restaurants have a duty to serve safe food free from foreign objects. When they fail, victims can recover not just medical costs but compensation for pain, suffering, and long-term impact.
