I was sick from McDonald's can I Sue?

Question

This pass Friday I had some McDonald's and was sick the doctors diagnose me with food posing now can I sue Wacarnolds aka McDonald's for this?

I hear there's something wrong with the ground beef in Illinois. I had two cheeseburgers so be careful people and thank you for your response.

Answer 1

NO you cant sue i dont belive it is a case of food poisoning unless several cases are reported.

Answer 2

u can sue. wouldn't do much though

they have a whole team of lawers in every state tho so good luch with winning!

your not the first, and you won't be the last to try and sue them!

I get sick eating  there every time, but maybe it's because I am not used to putting such toxic food in my system on a regular basis. :]

Answer 3

no unless you fall and they don't have that yellow thing up and you break something

Answer 4

The main question for a lawsuit, is how do you prove they caused it?  You probably ate at other places that day.   And the next is damages, other than being sick for a day or so   There's not really much money that a judge or jury would award for that.  E coli poisoning is another story!

Answer 5

You can try. If you got very sick it's very likely that other people who ate at the same restaurant also got food poisoning that day. However if you are the only person who got ill it might be harder to proove. But it's good that you went to the doctor - he will be able to provide a medical report. Just make sure you write down everywhere and EVERYTHING you ate that day right up until the moment you got sick, because they will most likely try to say you picked it up elsewhere. Good luck! :-)

Answer 6

get a life...i live in illinois and i haven't gotten sick you're full of s*it

Answer 7

yes, u can sue, try to find a bunch of people who got sick that day too, and get a class action lawsuit going, nowdays u can sue for pretty much anything, and im sure that food poisening is a big one

Answer 8

You should certainly threaten to. Than you could settle on a few hundred thousand. It would be a good idea. KEEP THE RECEIPT. This will show better proof.

Answer 9

You have to notify the health department who will do an inspection of the McDonald's you ate at.

Answer 10

There is nothing I hate more than frivolous law suits. You will not win, and you will waste a lot of your money trying. Please don't and just complain to the manager or just don't eat there again.

McDonalds is bad for you anyway. So that is the risk you take when you eat there.

Answer 11

Join the club. McDonalds food is poison.

Answer 12

Wow, a lot of people are mean here.

A lawyer will only accept your case if there is a decent potential for collecting damages.

It would depend on how sick you were, whether or not it caused you to miss work, and how much your doctor's bills cost.  

I would say your chances are pretty slim of winning the case, but you never know.

Answer 13
