Chicken bone in my Chicken Subway Can I sue?

Question

Today I was eating at Subway and I had a oven roasted chicken breast sandwich. While eating it I realized that their was a bone. I then left the restuarant and I had EMS drive me to the local hospital. I punctured something down my throat and now I need treatment. Can I sue Subway for this?

Answer 1

You could try but you won't be successful based on the circumstances you describe.

Answer 2

Yes.  You can sue.  But, unless it caused you serious permanent injury and to have high medical bills, I doubt you would find a lawyer willing to take this case.  

Just because someone made a mistake, doesn't mean you have to sue them.

Oh, and they should have a medical payments coverage in their liability policy.  Its usually around $2K to $5K and it can cover all or most of your bills.

Answer 3

Ok Here is the thing. Did you happen to mention it to a manager or someone in the (store) restaurant. If so yes there is a possibility. If not then your chances are not good, yeah I kow I heard about the lady with the hot coffee and McDonalds. She won, at least that is what I heard. I found a staple in a salad once . yep I showed them yep they believed me. They did talk to the person about being more careful and offered to pay my bill. No I didn't let them, no it didn't do damage, thank goodness. My point is , it is 50% 50% . Good luck whichever you do.One way or another

Answer 4

The answer is NO - if its a natural food item, no you cannot sue. If the item that you choked on is not a natural food item, like glass, plastic, metal, etc then you CAN sue.

So just chew you food wisely before you eat. Sueing is not that easy...

Answer 5

GROSS! just tell the manager and have them work a deal with you

Answer 6

yes you can
