Q: Hello, i am wondering if i should pursue legal action, due to my weeks of stomach sickness from eating cheetos.
I have had weeks of stomach pain and other issues along wjth them, including vomitting and other issues, I reached out to my family doctor about these issues twice now, and now after eating these, Sweet chili heat flamin hot cheetos, I am going to need multiple scans done to determine the damage done. I am taking multiple new medications and pills because of this food poisoning. Do i have a legal case ?
A:
I'm sorry for your ordeal. Based on these facts, it appears to be a difficult case. With these types of cases, the damages are generally fleeting in nature. Given the expense of litigating an injury or product-based case, an attorney could have concerns about demonstrating injuries that had a significant impact on one's life to jurors. But you could gather all the medical records, results of the scans, toxicology reports on the poisoning issues, and consult with attorneys to ask their opinions. Good luck
