Q: Roach cooked inside donut can we sue them

On August 22, 2022 my husband purchased a dozen Donuts and brought them home for us to eat. My niece was biting into her donut and started spitting out pieces of it and yelled ugh a bug is in my donut. I grabbed a napkin and then my phone and took a close up pic and saw it was actually a bug cooked into the donut.

A: A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could sue, yes. But you probably mean can you sue in a case that would be meaningful. I think that most law firms would be reluctant to handle such a case on a contingency basis. Your experience may have been distressing, but firms will not generally accept cases where the damages are not significant, in terms of lasting physical injury or disability. But this is only my individual opinion. Other attorneys could see things differently. The most reliable way for you to get an answer to your question would be to reach out to law firms to discuss. Good luck
