Q: I bought a can of libbys sliced pineapples. Inside of can did not have protective coating inside. Completely rusted.
The juice was rusty too. I ate one slice before I realized. Horrible stomach pain for 2 days. What should I do?
A:
I'm sorry about your painful experience. As a general matter, these types of cases can be tough because the damages are transient and passing in nature. Attorneys tend to be more reluctant in accepting them than the more traditional types of physical injury cases.
Save the can, the contents, store receipt, and any other physical evidence you have on hand. Compile any medical documentation, such as ER and doctor visit records. Contact Georgia attorneys in your area for a free consultation who could handle the matter on a contingency basis. Good luck
