Q: Can I sue a local restaurant that's known for causing food poisoning?
A: If you have sustained food poisoning from that restaurant and can prove it, then you could file a lawsuit. Why you would even eat at such a place is puzzling.
A: If you sustained food poisoning, you could possibly have grounds for a claim. Consult with a New Jersey injury attorney to discuss the details of your case and to learn the timeframes and statutes of limitations within which you must act to preserve your legal rights. As a general matter, food poisoning cases are difficult because of the transiency of the symptoms. The consequences are often short-term and are not always accompanied by medical records to substantiate what happened. But a consultation with an attorney could help you decide how you wish to proceed.
