Q: I ate chicken breast from a restaurant and instantly began to feel nauseous accompanied by headache what should I do?
I kept the food, cut the chicken to see a red streak of blood down the back of the chicken. The chicken breast as undercooked.
A: Did you need to get medical treatment? If yes, keep the food frozen in order to analyzed by a lab and consult a personal injury attorney immediately. If no, though you have a potential claim for money damages, the minimal damage to you is such that it's likely that no attorney will be interested in representing you. If the latter is the case, you have the option of presenting a claim in writing to the restaurant, which would be turned over to their insurance company - which would view the damage as minimal and which might or might not make some very small offer, such as a few hundred bucks, to settle the matter.
A: If your doctor said that you are fine now, that any danger period has passed, then you can make a claim for your medical bills. However I agree with Mr. Baron, that the value of your claim anywhere is minimal unless you have either some form of gastric problem, infection with a parasite caused by this, etc.
